Hazardous Materials Marine Transport

Westar Marine Services is a certified HazMat water transporter and a trusted provider of hazardous materials marine transport in the San Francisco Bay Area. Recognized by the State of California, we specialize in the compliant, secure transport of hazardous waste and recyclables from vessels throughout the Bay.

Certified HazMat Handling on the Water

Our team is trained and certified in all aspects of hazardous materials handling, including proper containment, documentation, and transport logistics. We regularly transport items such as:

  • Oily rags and debris

  • Used oil filters

  • Paint-related materials

  • Shipboard hazardous waste

All materials are packaged in DOT-approved drums, securely loaded onto our barges or water taxis, and transported to our facility at Pier 50 for safe disposal or recycling.

End-to-End Compliance & Coordination

We manage the full process—including vessel Temporary Identification Number (TIN) registration, manifest preparation, and scheduling with approved disposal facilities. Operators can designate their own facility, or Westar will coordinate disposal on their behalf.

Our priority is to make hazardous waste transport safe, seamless, and fully compliant with California and federal environmental regulations.
