MACN at the 2026 WMU CORA Seminar
The next generation of maritime leaders is already thinking about integrity, and it shows.
MACN was proud to contribute to the 2026 Maritime Business Integrity and Corruption Awareness (CORA) Seminar, hosted by World Maritime University, bringing together academia, industry, and public institutions to discuss maritime anti-corruption efforts and advance the objectives of SDG 16.
Sincere thanks to:
- Dr. Khanssa Lagdami for organising and leading the seminar
- Vice President Provost Michael Manuel for the keynote address
- All speakers who shared valuable perspectives from industry, legal, institutional, and national viewpoints throughout the day, including representatives from the Maritime Transport and Logistics Sector (MTLS) Egypt, DIRECTEMAR, Armada de Chile, and Maersk’s Alexandra Belmonte and Will Phua.
Most importantly, thank you to the WMU MSc Class of 2026. Your engagement and thoughtful discussions demonstrated the curiosity, professionalism and commitment needed to shape a more transparent and ethical maritime industry.
MACN remains committed to connecting industry and academia to strengthen integrity across global shipping.
How can industry better support maritime education in embedding anti-corruption principles?
