The Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the number of corruption incidents being reported, but nearly 50,000 occurrences have been reported over the decade since the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) was set up.
Close to 50,000 incidents have been reported in over 1,000 ports, across 149 countries to MACN’s Anonymous Incident Reporting platform over the last ten years.
The system is designed to allow the industry to report when it faces corrupt demands in ports across the world, most commonly for cigarettes, alcohol and cash.
