Enhancing Maritime Standards: Trans-Asiatic Trading Showcases Safety-First Gerflor Solutions

Trans-Asiatic Trading is putting a spotlight on its Gerflor marine flooring portfolio, reinforcing the case for safety-first interior systems as the baseline expectation for fleet operators, not an optional upgrade. The showcase brings together the full range of IMO-compliant and Wheelmark-approved Streamo products, Karavel, Mariner, and Steamer, alongside Gerflor’s studded rubber tiles and skirting accessories, giving operators a complete look at what a fully compliant vessel interior can look like from deck to wall.

The timing reflects where the industry is heading. Regulators and surveyors are placing increasing scrutiny on interior materials, not just structural and mechanical systems, and fleet operators are under growing pressure to demonstrate that every deck, corridor, and passenger area meets fire safety and slip resistance standards. Gerflor’s Streamo range was built for exactly this scrutiny, engineered to IMO fire test protocols with slip resistance suited to high-traffic passenger and crew areas, and it carries the Wheelmark certification that surveyors recognise on sight.

What the showcase makes clear is that safety and performance don’t have to come at the expense of a well-finished interior. Homogeneous Streamo products hold up to constant traffic in corridors and galleys, while the luxury vinyl plank options bring natural stone and wood-inspired finishes to cabins and passenger lounges, all backed by the same certification. For fleet operators weighing where to invest limited refit budgets, that combination makes Gerflor flooring a difficult product line to overlook: it’s simultaneously the safer choice and the better-looking one.

Trans-Asiatic Trading continues to position itself as the region’s go-to source for this calibre of marine interior material, drawing on decades of experience supplying shipowners, shipbuilders, and shipyards. Fleet operators looking to bring their vessels up to a safety-first standard are encouraged to reach out to Trans-Asiatic to explore which Gerflor products fit their fleet’s needs.
