Transito Bevrachting

image by Eugene Ipavec, 6 Jun 2006

Transito Bevrachting (“freighting”) BV is a Dutch firm, located at Werkendam on the River Merwede which - if you sail downstream – will eventually bring you to Rotterdam.

See the company website for the house flag (certainly the most original of the four shown!): Basically a white flag, most of it taken up by four sinuous lines or waves
(starting from the hoist, coloured red, blue, white, and red; of unequal width); in the lower fly we read ‘TRANSITO / BEVRACHTING BV’ in blue letters, the first line much bigger than the second. (The presence of ‘BV’ is assumed, in reality the abbreviation is not visible here.).

According to above site, Transito was founded in 2002 and operates inland vessels with a capacity between 500 and 10 000 metric tonnes (in the second case, large combined pontoons are meant). As the firm points out, nowadays a modern operator should not only be able to transport the traditional commodities (i.e. bulk goods: sand, coal, ore, fodder, etc.) but also newly introduced loads such as containers or waste products.

Transito? Is that a dutch word?
I'm asking because Trânsito means "traffic" in portuguese and navigation agents are known among us as "transitários". Coincidence?
Jorge Candeias, 5 Jun 2006

There is certainly a connection. It seems the word was carried from Italian into Dutch (first recorded use 1725) - it means 'transit' (of goods).
