Copenhagen, DenmarkFeatured in Data Heroes Series of Maritime Anti-Corruption Network(MACN)
As part of the DATA HEROES series, MACN featured Mr. Tanjil Ahmed Ruhullah, Managing Director of Interport Group, a leading provider of maritime services, including Claims Handling (as P&I Correspondents and H&M Correspondents), and Ship Agency in Bangladesh. Interport is leveraging MACN’s corruption risk data to better understand global port trends and patterns; this empowers them to deliver greater value to the ship owners they support.
By using MACN data, Interport helps ship owners and ship managers prepare their crew members more effectively and navigate high-risk environments with greater confidence.
"MACN’s incident data transforms our role from a reactive Ship Agent to a proactive partner; by knowing where and when challenges are most likely to arise, we can help shipowners prepare, and in many cases, prevent corruption-related incidents entirely."
– Tanjil Ahmed Ruhullah FCILT BSc (Hons) LLB (Lond.), Managing Director, Interport Group
This transformation is a testament to the power of data in driving integrity, preparedness, and impact across the maritime industry.

MACN Spring Members Meeting 2025 – Copenhagen 🇩🇰
It was a privilege to attend the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) Spring Members Meeting 2025 in Copenhagen—my second time attending MACN members meeting, and also my second visit to beautiful Copenhagen, which was a truly delightful experience (coupled with the beautiful weather 🌞)!
Representing Interport Group, the first MACN member from Bangladesh 🇧🇩, it was an honor to reconnect with the vibrant MACN community—bringing together over 180 participants from across the globe. Reuniting with familiar faces, engaging in meaningful dialogues with new connections, along with the dynamic Secretariat and Board Members added depth to the experience.

This Spring Meeting offered powerful insights—ranging from ethical leadership as a strategic advantage (with Mikael Skov), to the role of senior leadership in fostering value-driven cultures (with Tina Revsbech), and evolving global anti-bribery trends (with Charles Duross). The emphasis on operational transparency and ethical supply chain management was timely and well-framed through hands-on workshops and value chain exercises.
I was particularly impressed by the new MACN Member Portal—a fantastic upgrade enhancing functionality and access to critical integrity data. Turning data into actionable intelligence is key to meaningful anti-corruption work, and it’s encouraging to see MACN driving innovation in this space.
As the leading P&I correspondent in Bangladesh, it was also a special moment to witness the appointment of Jeremy Grose, Managing Director of NorthStandard, to the MACN Board. The involvement of P&I clubs in this important forum cannot be overstated—they remain a vital force in supporting MACN’s mission and shaping a more transparent maritime industry. It was also a delight to see my friend Anthony Cage representing the newest P&I Club Member The London P&I Club of MACN!
Returning to Bangladesh, it was a pleasure to share my experience at the 4th Working Group meeting of MACN Bangladesh! I am also happy to share an write-up featured by SeaNews, UK for our work in promoting ethical practices in the Maritime industry in Bangladesh and some proposed solutions:
