The company’s vessels are registered with the Isle of Man Ship Registry and are all suffixed with the word “Manx”. When naming vessels MX Bulk use either local area or traditional Manx designations which in turn supports and promotes our cultural heritage. The current fleet consists of Erin Manx, Ursula Manx, Ellan Manx, Maye Manx, Greeba Manx and Kirry Manx.
MX Bulk Management’s entire annual charity budget is spent locally, supporting charities such as Isle of Man Foodbank, Beach Buddies, Motiv8, Isle of Man Children's Centre, Victim Support, Cruse Bereavement Support, Isle of Play, Isle Listen, Housing Matters, Craig’s Heart Strong Foundation and Hospice Isle of Man.
During the first Covid 19 lockdown MX Bulk ‘donated’ a member of staff to volunteer full time at the Isle of Man Foodbank and supplied the charity with additional fridges and freezers to support the volume of additional donations in that period. MX Bulk also funded a three-year project with the Isle of Man Children's Centre to support a local clothing and household item exchange for young people.
MX Bulk have previously supported a local tall ship initiative – an incredible project which gave local young people a rare opportunity to sail and work on a 93-year-old TS Phoenix tall ship. They will continue to sponsor similar initiatives in the future. The company are also a member of Isle of Man Maritime, and have recently signed up to become a member of Eyesea, a non-profit organization that is mapping global pollution and maritime hazards.
