History of creation


The central executive body with this name was established in 2010 simultaneously with the formation of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine through the reorganization of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Ukraine.
In 2011, through the reorganization of the State Service of Maritime and River Transport of Ukraine, its successor was created - the State Inspectorate of Ukraine for Safety at Sea and River Transport (Ukrmorrechinspektsiya) as the central executive.
On September 10, 2014, the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 442 was adopted, which abolished the State Inspectorate of Ukraine for Safety in Sea and River Transport. Its successor is the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety.
At the end of September 2016, the Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan proposed a document on the creation of the Maritime Administration for approval by the Cabinet of Ministers. He also announced a large-scale reform of the maritime industry, which included the reform of the Seaport Authority.
In January 2017, the reform was launched. The impetus for this was the fact that the Administration of the Seaports of Ukraine, according to the minister, in 2016 remained a model of inefficiency, corruption and abuse. A full-fledged reform provided for the creation of the Maritime Administration, which was to take over all the tasks of the USPA.
The State Service of Maritime and River Transport of Ukraine was created and the regulation on it was approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated September 6, 2017.
On April 11, 2018, Dmitry Petrenko was appointed its chairman for a period of five years with a probationary period of six months. Released from office on October 20, 2019.
On August 22, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine made a decision to fully launch the work of the State Service of Maritime and River Transport.
On October 9, 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine made a decision to temporarily assign the duties of the head of the Maritime Administration to Andrey Glazkov.
