Built from maritime practice. Applicable across the wider chain.
TRIMWARD understands the dynamics of work between shore and ship. That practical knowledge is our starting point.
Four groups in the maritime chain
Our approach suits organisations whose work happens in the office, on board, at a terminal or in a yard. These are the four groups in the maritime chain for which we apply it.
Inland & sea shipping
For vessel owners, fleet companies and operators, with or without their own vessels. We look at nautical and administrative processes, both on board and in the office.
Ports, terminals & logistics
For port companies, terminals and businesses in the logistics chain. We look at planning, document flows and cooperation between the parties that carry out the work.
Shipbuilding & marine engineering
For yards, repair companies and suppliers. We work on safe and efficient ways of working, on quality, and on passing technical knowledge on to your own people.
Maritime service providers
For charterers (who arrange the cargo), crewing and staffing agencies, suppliers and other partners in the chain. We look at their work processes and help set them up so they can carry on by themselves.
From office to vessel
The work in this chain happens in different places: in the office, on board, at the terminal and in the yard. We start in those places, with the real situation of the people who do the work. A solution that looks right on paper also has to work there.
Why inland shipping first
Our origin
TRIMWARD comes from inland shipping. That origin shapes how we look at the work: from practice in the office and on board.
Where it all comes together
In inland shipping, people, operations, safety and digitalisation meet every day. A change has to work on all of these points, or it will not last.
And beyond
Our approach was not designed for the maritime sector alone. The same steps, from understanding the work to lasting use, can also be applied outside the chain.
