Advantages

With MACS owning its own container fleet, we can provide customers with easy leasing of containers as and when necessary on board both fixed schedule transits. Containerised cargo includes everything from perishable and refrigerated goods, automotive parts and machinery to chemicals.

MACS vessels benefit from superior deck strengths and powerful on-board cranes, which allow for swift unloading and loading anywhere, regardless of the capabilities of the port itself. The ships are ideal for most types of bulk and break bulk cargo, however heavy or voluminous. In the holds of each MACS Vessel, bulk parcels from as small as 500 mtons upwards are secured and separated by movable bulk heads.
