Somtrans has developed into a fully-fledged tanker shipping company with fully-owned barges. We are neither a shipbroker nor a middleman. In our day-to-day business we try to be very straightforward. We strive for quick price setting and flexible planning.
What hasn't changed since the start of this company is our motto, "Our flag covers your cargo". Our vision to achieve a healthy expansion with state-of-the-art double hull barges and qualified, well-trained staff, has also remained unchanged. As has our aim, to offer our clients safe and reliable transport in order to build a long-term business relationship. We stand by these values each and every day.

ready to continue the family business together with the previous one. The staff in our office is young, but very knowledgeable and dynamic. On board of our barges, we encourage our young crew members to become captains. Our aim is also to provide our crew members and on-shore staff with a stable job which offers growth opportunities.

Ronald Somers started the company in 1975 and is working together with Caroline Somers, daughter and CO-CEO to make a fluent transition for the second generation.
