Make our concerns heard
The Corruption issue has been on the agenda of INTERCARGO Committees for years, for instance:
- At its meeting in Oct 2015, the shout was heard from INTERCARGO: “Blackmail and corruption … is like “an elephant in the room” (link)
- INTERCARGO initiatives on Anti-Corruption – Jan. 2017 (link)
- At its meetings in Oct 2018, concerns were expressed: “Crew are distracted from their primary task of safe ship operations by the unethical behaviour of Port Authorities in some coastal states and we request IMO intervention at government levels to curb this practice”. (link)
