MACN  (Maritime Anti-Corruption Network)

As part of our ongoing commitment to actively supporting MACN, Therry van Vreden and Matthew Soloman attended the MACN Fall Members Meeting in Dubai on November 29-30,  2022 attended by 120 participants.

The meeting was well attended by a mixture of representatives from the global maritime community. 

Notable by their presence this year were representatives of the Suez Canal Authority.  The Suez Canal has been a real hotspot for compliance issues, and so the presence of a senior delegation at the event was encouraging.

With respect to our region, there has been considerable traction with stakeholders in India with reference to the MACN collective action there.  A further collective action focus will be Malaysia in 2023, and BLAM will play its part in supporting that initiative.
