The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) has launched the Global Port Integrity Platform (GPIP), a data-driven tool that turns more than 70,000 reported corruption incidents from over 1,350 ports into operational intelligence for shipowners and crews.

Backed by the Danish Maritime Fund, the platform aggregates a decade of MACN reporting on corruption demands, delays and coercion into dashboards and automated pre-arrival alerts.

More than 75 organisations are already using the GPIP dashboards, while over 350 shipping companies receive port-specific corruption risk briefings through MACN’s low-bandwidth communication system.

The result is one of the world’s largest structured datasets focused specifically on maritime corruption risk, creating new opportunities for data-driven and AI-enabled approaches to integrity management in shipping.

“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 system lets users compare ports, identify risk patterns, and integrate corruption intelligence into voyage planning and compliance workflows. Captains receive targeted briefings before arrival, outlining common challenges and recommended responses, and thousands of notifications have already been delivered into vessel operations.

The project has also created an application programming interface to MACN’s incident database, opening the door to AI-enabled integrity tools.

“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,” added Uriel Chareca, head of group data and AI at Torm.
