With support from
the Danish Maritime Fund MACN has taken data from over 70,000 reports made by
vessel owners and managers to build the Global Port Integrity Platform (GPIP)
covering 1,350 ports worldwide. The
suite of tools is designed to shipping companies assess risk, prepare crews
before arrival, and integrate corruption intelligence directly into operational
workflows. According to MACN 75 organisations are already using the platform's
dashboard tools, while over 350 shipping companies receive corruption risk information
through its pre-arrival communication systems. "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. "This
initiative demonstrates how maritime data can be transformed into practical
intelligence that supports better decisions, protects crews, and strengthens
integrity across the industry."
The platform automatically provides port
specific information directly to crews ahead of arrival and further AI enabled
applications are expected in future. "The API integration with MACN's
corruption incidents database opens new possibilities for us. 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,” said Uriel Chareca, Head of Group Data
& AI, Torm.
