Mac² Shipping
MAC² SHIPPING is a Belgian naamloze vennootschap (NV, public limited company) registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) under enterprise number 0426.933.127. The entity was created on 13 February 1985 and has been in a normal legal situation since that date; KBO showed it as active when the register was consulted on 24 September 2026. The legal form has been NV since incorporation, so the company was not affected by the conversions that the 2019 Code of Companies and Associations imposed on other Belgian forms. KBO records the Dutch registered name MAC² SHIPPING with effect from 30 September 2013 and lists no other current or former denomination, so any earlier name cannot be established from the free register. The registered office is Blauwe Weg 7, 2030 Antwerp (Haven 261), recorded since 23 August 2000, and one establishment unit is registered. Capital is recorded as EUR 585,688.00; the financial year ends on 31 December and the annual general meeting is held in June.
Despite the word “shipping” in the name, the activities KBO registers fall under waste treatment and disposal (NACEBEL division 38): code 38.330 under the 2025 NACEBEL version since 1 January 2025, code 38.219 – other treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste under the 2008 version since 1 January 2008, and code 90.021 under the 2003 version since 1 April 1985. No transport, shipping or maritime code is registered. The website held on file, mac2.be, resolves to an unrelated Belgian electronics-design business and cannot be attributed to enterprise number 0426.933.127, so the company’s own account of its customers and markets could not be verified; KBO records no customer or market information. Activity is registered in Belgium only. The company is privately held and is not listed on any stock exchange. Annual accounts are filed with the National Bank of Belgium’s Central Balance Sheet Office, but its consultation endpoints returned HTTP errors to automated requests on 24 September 2026, so no revenue, result or employee figure is stated here rather than taking one from an aggregator. The most recent recorded change is the NACEBEL 2025 reclassification effective 1 January 2025.

Shareholders of MAC² SHIPPING
The record on file listed one shareholder — “J.M. RECYCLING”, 100%, 146,540 shares — typed as a natural person. That typing is wrong. J.M. RECYCLING is a Belgian company: a naamloze vennootschap registered in KBO under enterprise number 0439.652.993, registered office Ekkelgaarden 16, 3500 Hasselt (recorded since 1 January 2025), in a normal legal situation since 22 December 1989 and active when consulted on 24 September 2026. Its registered NACEBEL activities include holding-company activities, management consultancy and real-estate intermediation. The shareholder type should read Company, not Person.
The 100% holding itself cannot be confirmed from a free public Belgian source. KBO publishes legal form, status, addresses, activity codes and functions, but not shareholders, and Belgium keeps no public register of shareholders for an NV or a BV — the share register is a private company document. Corroboration would have to come from filed annual accounts, or from J.M. Recycling’s consolidated accounts, at the National Bank’s Central Balance Sheet Office; those endpoints returned HTTP errors to automated requests on 24 September 2026, so nothing is asserted from them here. What is verifiable is that the three individuals acting as permanent representatives on this company’s board (Louis Machiels, Fabienne Soetaers and Tom Melotte) are also the directors KBO records for J.M. Recycling. That is consistent with common control, but it is evidence of shared management, not proof of a shareholding.
The figure of 146,540 shares cannot be checked: KBO records capital of EUR 585,688.00 for enterprise number 0426.933.127 but does not publish a share count.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner is named here, and none is inferred from directorships. Belgium’s UBO register is not accessible to the general public: following the Court of Justice of the European Union judgment of 22 November 2022 in joined cases C-37/20 and C-601/20, public access was withdrawn, and consultation is now limited to competent authorities, obliged entities carrying out anti-money-laundering due diligence, and persons who can demonstrate a legitimate interest. Belgian companies remain under a legal duty to declare their beneficial owners, so the absence of public data does not mean that no beneficial owner exists or has been declared for this entity.

Directors and officers of MAC² SHIPPING
KBO’s list of functions for enterprise number 0426.933.127 showed seven entries when consulted on 24 September 2026. The board is made up of three corporate directors, each acting through a named permanent representative as Belgian company law requires:
- JEMI CONSULT BV (enterprise number 0827.597.565, Pietelbeekstraat 85, 3500 Hasselt) — director since 31 August 2012; permanent representative Louis Machiels since 31 August 2012. The same entity has been recorded as the person charged with day-to-day management since 5 June 2020. KBO records JEMI CONSULT as a besloten vennootschap (BV) since 21 November 2023, with Louis Machiels as its own director.
- BEFAS BV (0458.271.847, Meerdegatstraat 66, 3570 Alken) — director since 1 September 2023; permanent representative Fabienne Soetaers since 1 September 2023. KBO records BEFAS as a BV since 20 December 2023, with Erwin Boussu and Fabienne Soetaers as its own directors.
- Tom Melotte BV (0802.611.751, 3665 As) — director since 1 December 2025; permanent representative Tom Melotte since 1 December 2025. KBO records the entity as a BV created on 12 June 2023, with Tom Melotte as its own director.
No other director, manager, liquidator or daily-management appointment is recorded in KBO for this enterprise number. Nationality is not disclosed: KBO does not record the nationality of officers, and none is inferred from a name. Dates of birth and national register numbers are not published.
Recent officer changes
- 1 December 2025 — Tom Melotte BV (0802.611.751) entered as director, permanent representative Tom Melotte.
- 1 September 2023 — BEFAS BV (0458.271.847) entered as director, permanent representative Fabienne Soetaers.
- 5 June 2020 — JEMI CONSULT BV (0827.597.565) entered as the person charged with day-to-day management.
The dates are the effective dates KBO records for each function; the register shows the functions that are current, not the departures that made room for them.
Data availability
The record on file carried 23 officer rows, none of them with an appointment date. That list cannot all be current: KBO shows three directors, three permanent representatives and one daily-management appointment. The named individuals Guido Hermans, Luk Wuyts, Geert D’Haese and Yves Luca do not appear among the functions KBO currently registers for 0426.933.127, and neither does the corporate director IMMO VAN DE WOESTYNE BVBA. “BVBA” is in any case an abolished designation: the 2019 Code of Companies and Associations replaced the BVBA with the besloten vennootschap (BV), and companies had to complete that change by 1 January 2024, so no Belgian entity carries the BVBA form today. Because that entity does not appear in the current list of functions, it does not serve on this board and no permanent representative can be attributed to it. The undated rows are treated as historical or unverified and are not reproduced.

The Belgian Official Gazette (Moniteur belge / Belgisch Staatsblad) is the register of record for dated appointments and resignations, but its search endpoint returned HTTP 500 to automated requests on that date, so the officer history before 31 August 2012 has not been reconstructed here. The stored gd_* fields were not modified.

Group Structure
Group structure of MAC² SHIPPING
This company is an operating Belgian NV with a single establishment unit and no subsidiary recorded against enterprise number 0426.933.127. Above it, the record names J.M. RECYCLING NV (BE 0439.652.993, Hasselt) as sole shareholder; that entity exists and is active, and its registered activities include holding-company activities, but Belgium publishes no shareholder data, so the link is stated as recorded rather than verified.
The group tree stored against this company has 33 nodes and is the Machiels group’s tree, not this company’s. It is rooted at J.M. Recycling and lists entities such as Remo Milieubeheer, Machiels, Laura Coal Belgium, Ecomac, Battery of Limburg, Bio-Energy, De Vaart Invest, Machiels Building Solutions, “Mac Maritiem” and “Mac Solutions”, together with a large Waterleau Group sub-tree covering Germany, the United States, Norway, Hong Kong, Ireland, the Netherlands and Portugal. Those entities are, at most, fellow group companies sitting alongside this one. None of them is a holding of MAC² SHIPPING, and their revenues, staff and international operations are not this entity’s.

Data availability
Verified for this section: the identity, legal form and status of 0426.933.127 and 0439.652.993, and of the three corporate directors, all from KBO/BCE on 24 September 2026. Not verified: every other node of the 33-node stored tree, including the whole Waterleau sub-tree and the entities recorded as “Mac Maritiem” and “Mac Solutions”; they are listed above as recorded, not as established. Ownership percentages anywhere in the tree cannot be confirmed from free Belgian sources, because KBO does not publish shareholdings and the National Bank’s Central Balance Sheet Office, which would hold participation lists in filed accounts, returned HTTP errors to automated requests on that date. Record issues to correct at source: the stored group tree belongs to the Machiels group rather than to this company, and the website held on file (mac2.be) resolves to an unrelated Belgian electronics-design business. The stored gd_* fields were not modified.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Mac² Shipping do?
MAC² SHIPPING is a Belgian naamloze vennootschap registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under enterprise number 0426.933.127, created on 13 February 1985 and active with its registered office at Blauwe Weg 7, 2030 Antwerp.

Who owns Mac² Shipping?
The record lists J.M. RECYCLING as sole shareholder at 100%; J.M. RECYCLING is a Belgian company (NV, enterprise number 0439.652.993, Hasselt), not a natural person as the record stated. Belgium publishes no shareholder register for an NV, and the Belgian UBO register has been closed to the public since the CJEU judgment of 22 November 2022 in joined cases C-37/20 and C-601/20, so the holding could not be corroborated.
Who is Mac² Shipping's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
