A wide range of services for the shipping industry and their agents

With an ever increasing pace in the maritime shipping and port activities, it has become crucial that service providers understand the maritime needs and respond to those with maximum flexibility.

We have developed a wide range of services to support the shipping companies and the agents that represent them in their port activities.

Engine sludges, slops, and EGS waste

Collecting and treating liquid maritime waste – Marpol I, II, IV and VI – waste, is at the core of our offering. Our 3 tanker barges operate 24/7, and are supported by truck collection for small quantities. Beneath the traditional sludges and slops, we also handle the more difficult low flash slops, pre-washes and scrubber waste. All waste is treated at our treatment plant in the 4th harbour dock, with maximum recycling of valuable components.

Garbage

Ships produce vast amounts of garbage – Marpol V. Under the EU indirect fee system, ships can dispose these in Antwerp without additional charges (*). MAC² is authorized collector in that system and organizes 24/7 collection by barge, by truck, by drop-off container and at our terminal.
(*) see conditions in Port Regulations

Stores

When ship chandlers need to do provisions at quays where truck transport is difficult (jetties) or forbidden (terminal regulations), MAC² offers the solution with “last mile” transport per barge. Our 3 stores barges (one of them fixed on left bank) provide 24/7 supply to ships. The goods are stored and preserved in our new warehouse or in our reefers until the ship calls for the supply.

Stores services also include, handling and storage of return items, as well as transport of fenders and hoses for transshipments.

Quay services

Our terminal has 5 places that can berth barges up to 200m length and 7m draft, including gas tankers. These berths can be made available for waste disposal, for transshipment, for berthing, for maintenance etc…

With 1.500 meters quay length, our terminal is fit for all your ship-to-ship and truck-to-ship transshipments.

Our terminal has also been authorized to accommodate LNG bunkering activities.

Cleaning

Over the past years, we have specialized in providing cleaning services for holds, for (bunker)tanks and for decks. We have a track record of cleaning up spills from oil or from diverse cargo. As we appreciate the importance of short stays in the port, we put in multiple shifts to work continuously to get the job done whilst minimizing demurrage for owners and operators.

Degassing

EU is banning degassing of tanks through open air ventilation. We have developed an array of degassing technologies – cryogenic, gas washing and torching – to provide for environmentally friendly degassing equipment. With the cryogenic equipment, we can even recuperate tons of “vaporized” cargo through the operation.

LNG bunkering

Our terminal is authorized to accommodate LNG bunkering activities. Both ship-to-ship and truck-to-ship LNG bunkerings are being organized at our quays.

Ballast water D2 compliance

The Ballast Water Convention requires the ballast water to be treated with IMO type-approved equipment on board of the ship, with the aim of eliminating the import of invasive species. If this equipment has been malfunctioning, Port State Control can forbid the ballasting operation of the ship. To deal with such a situation, MAC² has a IMO type-approved container that can be brought alongside and handle the ballast water to by D2 standard compliant.
