The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), that also launched an anti-corruption toolkit, was established in 2011, by a small group of maritime companies committed to fighting corruption. The network has grown to include over 130 members globally, representing the entire maritime industry value chain. MACN promotes best practice in the maritime industry for tackling bribes, facilitation payments and other forms of corruption.
