Project description
The project seeks to enhance EU level actions against corruption in the maritime sector, with a particular focus on corruption in major ports. The aim is to bring together governmental stakeholders (port management authorities, customs authorities, etc.), relevant (private) port stakeholders, and research institutes and networks with a view to filling existing gaps in research on corruption in ports, develop a targeted port integrity/risk assessment tool, and foster inter-port dialogue and enhancing the public-private-partnership. The project will help the ports involved tackle jointly identified vulnerabilities and exchange best practices.
