Nope because we don't know what computer you actually have and what type of USB-C port it has. USB-C can optionally provide USB (and several different versions of that), Thundertbolt and DisplayPort protocols.
USB-C connectors do not provide Firewire, which you need to drive the 003.
If its a MacBook Pro with USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 then Apple makes a a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, and a Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire 800 adapter, then you use a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable. You chain that lot together and it will do what you need.
Most USB-C connector on PCs don't provide Thunderbolt and you can't adapt from them to Firewire.
The time to really worry about this is before you buy a new computer.
