The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) has developed a platform combining more than 70,000 corruption incident reports from over 1,350 ports to help shipping companies assess risks and prepare crews before port calls.
The Global Port Integrity Platform (GPIP) provides access to the data through dashboards, API integrations and automated vessel communications.
The platform allows users to identify patterns and compare ports using structured data from reported incidents.
“Shipping generates enormous amounts of operational data, but historically there has been very limited structured data available to help companies understand and manage corruption risks at the ports where they operate,” said Cecilia Müller Torbrand, CEO of MACN.
The project was supported by The Danish Maritime Fund and involved maritime professionals, technology specialists and academic partners.
One application delivers port-specific corruption risk information to vessel crews through a low-bandwidth automated communication system before arrival. The platform also provides an API to MACN’s corruption incidents database, which TORM is exploring for integration with its vessels.
“The API integration with MACN’s corruption incidents database opens new possibilities for us,” said Uriel Chareca, Head of Group Data & AI at TORM.
“We’re exploring how to transform this real maritime data into actionable intelligence that flows directly to our vessels. It demonstrates how data collaboration can drive meaningful innovation in our industry.”
