2025: Submission on National Maritime Security Strategy

In July 2025, TI Ireland made a submission to the Department of Defence public consultation on the proposed National Maritime Security Strategy. The submission highlighted weaknesses in Ireland’s current system of ship registration (which were identified during research for the STEP-EU project on the quality and availability of ownership data on high-value assets), as well as the need for anti-corruption safeguards in maritime infrastructure projects, and the dangers of port corruption by well-resourced organised crime groups.
