Anti-corruption boost

Britannia has become the first P&I Club to be accepted as a member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN). Established in 2011 by a group of maritime companies committed to eradicating the industry of all forms of corruption, MACN has grown into a global business network of more than 100 members, representing a sizeable percentage of the global fleet. MACN director, Cecilia Müller Torbrand, said: “The effect of maritime corruption is felt across the industry. Britannia’s recognition of the problem, and their support for MACN, is an important step in showing a united front against corrupt practices.” By joining MACN, Britannia will be able to provide the network with input from an insurance sector perspective.
