Trans-Asiatic Trading Expands Distribution of Gerflor Streamo Marine Vinyl Flooring to Key Philippine Shipyards

Trans-Asiatic Trading is extending the reach of its Wheelmark-approved Gerflor Streamo marine vinyl flooring range into the Philippine shipbuilding sector, strengthening its position as a trusted regional supplier of IMO-compliant interior systems. The move brings Streamo’s Karavel, Mariner, and Steamer product lines directly to Philippine shipyards constructing and refitting passenger and offshore vessels, giving local builders faster, more direct access to certified flooring backed by Trans-Asiatic’s decades of marine and industrial equipment sourcing experience.

The expansion responds to a straightforward market reality: as Philippine shipyards take on more inter-island ferry and offshore accommodation projects, demand for flooring that meets IMO fire test protocols and Wheelmark certification has grown alongside it. Trans-Asiatic’s existing relationships with major shipowners, shipbuilders, and industrial companies across the region position it to support that demand with a supply chain already built for compliance-first procurement, meaning shipyards no longer have to navigate certification requirements and international sourcing on their own.

At the core of the offering is the Streamo range itself: high-performance homogeneous flooring engineered for heavy-traffic corridors and crew areas, paired with luxury vinyl plank options for cabins and passenger spaces where design matters as much as durability. By distributing this range directly to Philippine shipyards, Trans-Asiatic is positioning itself not just as a supplier but as a technical partner, helping engineering and design teams specify the right product for each deck, from high-traffic zones to accommodation interiors, without compromising on IMO compliance.

For Philippine shipbuilders and vessel operators, the expanded distribution means shorter lead times, local support, and direct access to one of the marine industry’s most recognised flooring brands. Trans-Asiatic Trading invites shipyards and operators across the Philippines to get in touch to discuss Streamo product specifications, availability, and how the expanded distribution network can support upcoming newbuild and refit projects.
