Maritime Capacity Analysis Tool (MAC-Tool©)
Maritime capacity are the resources and activities (Including shipping, ports, inter-modal access to shipping and related support services) required for safe, secure and environmentally sustainable maritime transport.
Maritime capacity deficiency is the lack of or inadequate maritime capacity necessary for a country’s development needs.
The Maritime Capacity Analysis Tool MAC-Tool© is mainly a tool used to assess maritime capacity of participating States.
It is a tool utilised by individual countries to analyse and assess their level of maritime capacity as a means of identifying maritime capacity deficiencies that require attention to realise full potential and the meaningful contribution of the maritime sector in poverty reduction and broader economic development of the country.
The tool has an audit element and the output can be used in benchmarking processes and the key requirement is to provide a systematic, ongoing tool that can be used to analyse the existence of, and the levels of maritime capacity in specific areas of maritime transport.
The information obtained during the analysis process will feed into the Maritime Capacity Checklist for purposes of monitoring improvements in addressing hindrances to maritime capacity development and or enhancement.
