Corruption at port
It\u2019s estimated that 90% of traded goods travel over the oceans. But for the seafarers who make that happen, it\u2019s not always an easy process. \n \nThousands of incidents of corruption within the industry have been reported to the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network, who in this episode, tell Ruth Alexander what they\u2019re doing to help the problem. \n \nSeafarers can often be put in an impossible position, and one former captain tells us how he was arrested at gunpoint after refusing to hand over a carton of cigarettes to officials.
