Mission
Work towards the elimination of all forms of maritime corruption
Goals
The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) is a global business network working towards the vision of a maritime industry free of corruption that enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large.
In Egypt, MACN's objectives were to:
- Launch a ‘Say No Campaign’ in the Suez Canal on Global Anti-Corruption Day in December 2015.
- Set up a local HelpDesk in Egypt to empower the maritime industry to resist and report incidents.
- Formalize collaboration with the Suez Canal Authority to provide a framework to facilitate collaboration between the SCA and MACN in areas of transparency and integrity and to adhere with the Egyptian national strategy against corruption.
Stakeholders
MACN Egypt (Help Desk established in partnership with Eldib Pandi)
Activities
MACN's key outcomes in Egypt:
- MACN’s ‘Say No’ campaign resulted in a decline in incidents and thereby demonstrated how collective action can play one of the most vital roles in addressing integrity risks, delivering tangible improvements to the operating environment for the crew, companies, frontline staff, and local stakeholders.
- In 2022, MACN and Eldib continued to monitor vessels calling Egyptian ports and transiting waterways and created a guide including (Do’s and Don’ts for vessels transiting the Suez Canal and calling Egyptian ports and terminals.
- The MACN local HelpDesk has been active since October 2021, 40 MACN members used this support, with 593 port calls registered of which 13 were incidents. The Local HelpDesk with timely assistance from key local stakeholders has successfully resolved all incidents.
