History

Entrepreneur Nicola Samyn started Transferium in 2002 with just one crane. Today, Transferium operates in three areas of expertise: Stevedoring, Biomass and Cargo Handling.

 

Transferium was initially started as a storage and transhipment company that experienced strong growth for 20 years. With a strong reputation within the cement, building materials and soil industry, the field of action and expertise was continuously expanded. Bulk goods were initially the focus, but in the meantime many other types of products are also part of the portfolio.

 

Transferium's extensive terminal network today comprises 3 strategic water-bound locations: Ghent, Brussels, and Roeselare.

Since 2023, the company has also been a highly valued partner of the Multi Logistics Group.

Establishing his own company, Nicola starts as a self-employed crane operator and invests in his first crane.

Just three years after the start-up, the company invested in a second crane and welcomed its first employee.

Establishment of Transferium - Sea Terminal Gent

Nicola is expanding its operations with a new concession in Ghent, located on the Ghent-Terneuzen sea canal. This site, under the name Sea Terminal Gent, covers 2.7 hectares and features a 330-metre transhipment quay with a draft of 7.50 metres.

Investment in storage capacity Ghent

After the 2018 investment in storage boxes with a capacity of 20.000 tonnes, the following year will see the construction of a 14-metre-high covered warehouse with a storage capacity of 4.000 m².

Together you get further: Multi Logistics Group

To realise its growth ambitions for the future, Transferium is joining forces with Multi Logistics Group. This collaboration enables Transferium to focus fully on its core business, while benefiting from the expertise and support of a strong logistics partner.
 

2023

New concession: River Terminal Roeselare

Working closely with Multi Logistics Group, Transferium has been appointed as the new operator of River Terminal Roeselare. This modern 1.8-hectare transhipment platform has a 230-metre long quay on the busy Roeselare-Leie Canal, and offers optimal facilities for efficient cargo handling.

2024

Ghent concession expansion: ‘Rieme Noord’

To meet growth and increasing demand for storage capacity, Transferium is acquiring a new 3.1-hectare concession in the immediate vicinity of its Ghent seaport terminal. A permit application is also being submitted for the further development of this concession.

2024

Record transhipment: 1.209.000 tonnes

At the terminal in Ghent a record transhipment was achieved with a volume of 1.209.000 tonnes, and that on only 300 metres of quay. This makes this quay one of the busiest per running metre in North Sea Port.

2025

Purchase site neighbour DeJaegher - Ghent

An opportunity like this did not pass Transferium by. In close cooperation with Multi Logistics Group (MLG), the company acquired the 2.3 hectare site of neighbouring DeJaegher at the Riemekaai. This strategic expansion is the 3rd site in the vicinity of its seaport terminal in Ghent.
