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.
