Mumbai, Mar 23 (KNN) In an effort to curb unethical activities in the maritime sector, the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) is planning to deploy some of its tested anti-corruption tools across Indian ports.

It also aims to deepen its engagement in India by expanding to additional ports including Chennai.

This was said by the MACN officials at a webinar organised in coordination with Maritime Association of Nationwide Shipping Agencies (MANSA).

The webinar kick-started the `Say No’ campaign with an objective to reduce integrity issues and bottlenecks to trade during operations in Indian ports.

In 2019, MACN had launched a Port Integrity Campaign in India to reduce and in the long term eliminate integrity issues and bottlenecks to trade during operations at Indian ports with a pilot campaign at Mumbai and JNPT port.

Established in 2011, MACN’s objective is to have a maritime industry that is free of corruption and enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large. (KNN Bureau)
