News: Ukraine abolishes the Ecological Inspection service

Our correspondent Dias Marine Consulting reports that the Ukraine Cabinet of Ministers has abolished the Ecological Inspection Service. It is to be replaced with the State Environmental Service. The new service is likely to start operating in early September. There is a hope that this new service will provide a fairer and more reasonable approach in relation to vessels calling at Ukraine.

We refer to our previous web alerts of 7 August 2019, 16 May 2019, and 18 July 2018 concerning ecological inspections in the Ukraine. ​

We thank our correspondent Dias Marine Consulting for this update.
