Collective Actions Updates | May

Egypt

MACN was pleased to take part in the EU-OECD workshop “Supporting the Development of the Suez Canal Economic Zone: Creating a Business-Friendly Regulatory Environment” in Cairo on May 22. We used this opportunity to inform local stakeholders of the zero tolerance campaign and to seek to build a stronger relationship with local government stakeholders.

The container tracking system used by the Jakarta International Container Terminal has been upgraded by the local authorities. MACN has been pushing for this upgrade since 2016, and we are happy to finally see this action being implemented. With the new upgraded systems, cargo owners can retrieve live data on the percentage capacity utilization of each of the four areas in the terminal (Dry, Reefer, OOG, and DG).

Additional integrity training of government officials is taking place at the end of May in Port Harcourt, Onne, and Calabar. The training will be executed by MACN’s local training partner, with support from the relevant government authorities and MACN’s partner TUGAR. This training will also include the “train the trainer” concept to ensure that the training continues at a local level.
