Liberia first registry to join the global Maritime Anti-Corruption Network

Liberia has become the first ship registry to be admitted to the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) as an associate member. Alfonso Castillero, CCO of the Liberian Registry, said: “We are greatly honoured to be the first ship registry admitted as an associate member of the MACN. The organisation has done great work fighting corrupt practices in some of the most difficult regions in the industry. MACN’s model of government and local partner collaboration, and industry-led collective action, is considered global best practice. It’s not often the shipping sector gets that sort of recognition.
