On 8 August 2022 MACN CEO met with the IMO Secretary General Kitack Lim

We discussed the implication of maritime corruption, and how MACN has been successful through collective action.  We also appreciated IMO’s efforts to recognize this challenge with the adoption of the guide to tackling maritime corruption at FAL46 earlier this year. This meeting was an important step for continue dialogue at the IMO on this topic and we develop a joint strategy the next couple of months.

MACN together with CBI win inaugural Anti-Corruption Collective Action Award 2022

In the category of Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action 2022, the award goes to the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network’s Collective Action initiative in Nigeria in collaboration with the Convention on Business Integrity (cbi). Since 2019, the initiative has worked to keep seafarers calling at Nigerian ports safe from corrupt demands.

Their installation of the world’s first real-time incident reporting tool and connected local HelpDesk has contributed significantly to reducing corrupt demands since its inauguration.
