The main activity of MACS is the Multipurpose Liner Service between the United Kingdom/Europe and Southern Africa. The MACS fleet provides a competitive and reliable container service, wether we are delivering to Europe, Southern Africa or North America. Our sailing schedules are designed to offer you maximum flexibility in terms of frequency, transit times and ports of call. With logistical planning, reduced delivery times, integration of land and sea transport and door-to-door service we do everything possible to ensure that your cargo is moved safely, efficiently and on time. The combination of operational flexibility and competitive freight rates have made MACS the market leader in the carriage of multi-grade bulk cargoes in the Southern Africa/N.W. Europe market for over 25 years. In the hold of each MACS ship, bulk parcels from as small as 500 mtons to 5000 mts are secured and separated by custom-made retainer devices. MACS vessels feature 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 almost all types of bulk and break bulk cargo, however heavy or voluminous. The MACS Multipurpose vessels offer the option to transport any type of project cargo. Specially-designed ships' gear allows us to handle heavy lifts and long length units independent of shore cranes in any port. This flexibility enables us to call at ports and terminals out of our range to meet the widest range of cargo requirements. In addition our vessels are designed to carry RoRo as well as high and heavy cargo. The large ramp capacity allows even very heavy mobile cargo, such as roadbuilding machinery or railway locomotives, to roll on board. Project cargo comes in an infinite range of unpredictable size, and we guarantee that the team will give 100% commitment to transporting it safely on a MACS vessel. " It is my responsibility to ensure that cargo is safely and efficiently loaded. With the excellent on-board cranes this is usually not a problem, but project cargo can sometimes require extensive predelivery planning and sophisticated loading gear constructed by the MACS team." Capt. Gunter Smolarek, MACS cargo superintendent In addition to our service between main ports, MACS offers the most effective transport options throughout Europe and Southern Africa. We have established partnerships with fast, reliable feeder, barge, rail and truck operators connecting directly with the MACS terminals. Our in-house transport company offers door-to-door container transports and we are also specialised in break bulk feedering. Flexibility is our goal: You can be sure we will find the best way to get your cargo to the destination you require.
