MACN Guide – Ukraine UKRAINE MACN Guide – Ukraine MACN Maritime Anti-Corruption Network MACN Guide – Ukraine MACN Guide – Ukraine About this guide The purpose of this guide is to increase awareness of the challenges Captains and crew face in Ukrainian harbours, ports, and terminals, and provide guidance on how to tackle them. General overview Ukraine is party to the Black Sea Memorandum of Understanding (BS MOU) on Port State Control signed on 07.04.2000 (come into force on 19.04.2002), along with other Black Sea countries like Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia and Turkey. Accordingly, if a vessel calls Ukrainian ports, it can be inspected by PSC on the terms and conditions prescribed in the BS MOU. Ukraine has 13 sea ports (ports located on the temporarily occupied area of Crimea are not included), namely, Odesa, Chernomorsk (ex-Ilichevsk), Pivdenny (ex-Yuzhny), Mykolaiv, Kherson, Ochakov, Izmail, Reni, Belgorod-Dnistrovskiy, Olvia, Skadovsk, Berdyansk and Mariupol. Three ports (Odesa, Chernomorsk, Yuzhny) constitute so-called “ports of Odesa hub”, where substantial volume of bulk cargoes is transshipped. Corruption Perception Index (CPI) by Transparency International According to the research conducted by Transparency International for the reported year 2019, Ukraine’s score in Corruption Perceptions Index 2019 is 30/100. As a result, we are back to the level in 2017 and now rank 126th out of 180 countries. Our peers in the index are Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Djibouti. Among its peers, Ukraine is ahead of Russia, which maintains its position (28 points, rank 137). Out of the remaining peers, Poland is the leader with 58 points (rank 41), followed by Slovakia (50 points, rank 59). Belarus gained 1 point and now ranks 66th with 45 points. Some of our peers have lost points this year: Romania lost 3 points, Hungary — 2 points, and Moldova — 1 point1 . In what areas do crews face corruption challenges in Ukrainian ports? According to specialized electronic media2, shipowners and crewmembers are faced with corruption demands in Ukrainian ports mainly during the following: Port State Control (PSC) according to the Black Sea Memorandum of Understanding (“Black Sea MoU”) and Guidelines on Vessel’s Clearance (Order of the Ministry of Infrastructure #430 dated 27.06.2013); Customs control (inspection of ship’s stores declared by the Master to the customs authorities); Ecological Control (in case of sea pollution due to spills, but mainly focused on ballast waters operations); Port State Control Inspections PSC officers often go beyond the verge of powers and issue code “30” (ship’s detention) on contrive pretexts. Rectification of the deficiency usually requires involvement of vessel’s class, which causes delay in vessel’s sailing from the port. Hence, it is extremely important for crewmembers to know basic “deficiencies” detected by Ukrainian PSC inspectors and be aware of relevant reactions on unlawful demands from PSC’s side. 1 http://cpi.ti-ukraine.org/#/ 2 https://www.seafarersjournal.com/ https://ports.ua/ https://en.cfts.org.ua/ 1 CONTROL OF VESSELS BY PSC WITHIN BLACK SEA MOU: TYPICAL DEFICIENCIES WITH CODE “30” Convention PSC deficiency Deficiency Class remarks Code/Action Taken Code ISPS Code In time ship stay in Port with security 15150/30 Security levels are procedures to respond to security threats or breaches of security, including provisions for level #2 precautions procedures maintaining critical operations of the ship to port facility interface or ship-to-ship interface.

MARPOL As it was declared by PSC, Type 14605/30 Certificate of Compliance for shipboard incinerator was not submitted by crew to PSC officer during inspection. Approval Certificate for ship’s incinerator But despite this circumstance the incinerator is quite clearly identified, namely - marking plate at the incinerator missing on board (detainable deficiency) contains info: “Complied with IMO MEPC.76(40)”. Appropriate Certificate of Compliance No DNV/NMD-2005-04 for shipboard incinerator OG 200 C (as it prescribed by MEPC. 76(40)) has been found on board and available. Taking into account the aforesaid, this deficiency can’t be evaluating as detainable. MARPOL PSC claimed that oil spill may be 14120/30 Scupper’s plug is the shut-off valve with plate (with rubber ring), screw stem and hand-wheel.

Any defects and on upper deck (starboard side, nearby leakages have not been found. Other scupper’s plugs also have been inspected and found without any defects. The cargo manifold). Unreliable condition of trays under cargo manifolds and upper deck also have been inspected, any leakages from the trays or traces of old plug on opinion of PSC officer was that leaks have not been found. This remark is not the deficiency. Rectification is not necessary. it should be tightly closed stronger with tolls but not manually without tools. This remark is declared as grounding for detention and related to ISM. MACN Guide – Ukraine Members of IACS Group having offices in Ukraine: ABS (Kyiv), Bureau Veritas (Kyiv), DNV GL (Odessa), Polish Register of Shipping (Mykolaiv), RINA (Odessa), Russian Register (Odessa, Izmail, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Mariupol). IMPORTANT: If your vessel has been detained by PSC inspector and there is no representative office of vessel’s class in Ukraine, please contact any of aforesaid IACS Members for assistance and support. Customs Control inspections Are you going to Mykolaiv port? Be ready for comprehensive customs control of ships’ stores Mykolaiv port is located on the river Pivdenny Bug; however, it is connected to the Black Sea through the Bugsko- Dniprovskiy Limanskiy Channel (BDLC). The following port terminals are located in Mykolaiv port: Mykolaiv Sea Commercial Port, Nibulon, Dnipro-Bugskiy, Olvia (ex-Oktyabr’sk), Nika-Tera, Ochakiv. All these terminals are inspected by customs officers of Mykolaiv customs office who conducts bunker survey and inspection of stores declared by the Master. CUSTOMS CONTROL OF SHIP’S STORES: BASIC RIGHTS OF THE MASTER Customs officers usually re-check the following items declared by the Master as ship’s stores: 1. Fuel oil/Diesel oil/Lubrication oil (control method: bunker survey); 2. Vessel’s paints (control method: item-by-item re-count); 3. Vessel’s chemicals like boiler water treatment, carbon remover etc. (control method: item-by-item re-count); 4. Ammunition (body armors, crash helmets); 5. Cash on board (control method: re-count). Fuel/Diesel/Lubrication oil: Bunker Survey consequences Bunker surveys conducted by customs officers have resulted in differences between the figures of fuel in the Ship’s Stores Declaration and actual volume of fuel on board. As long as “non-declared” fuel could not be seized from vessel’s tanks into store facilities, customs office asks the agent to put cash deposit equaled to twice amount of “non-declared” bunker value. For example: Declared by Master: 570 tons of VLSFO; Found by customs: 592 tons of VLSFO; Difference (non-declared): 22 tons of VLSFO; Deposit to be paid: 22*USD 584 = USD 12,848 Vessel’s paints and chemicals: ship’s stores or ship’s spare parts? According to FAL Convention of 1965, ship’s stores are goods for use on board the ship, including consumable goods, goods carried for sale to passengers and crew members, fuel and lubricants, but excluding ship’s equipment and ship’s spare parts. The ship’s equipment is articles other than the ship’s spare parts, on board of ship for use thereon, which are removable but not of consumable nature. This includes accessories such as lifeboats, life-saving devices, furniture, ship’s apparel, and similar items. The ship’s spare parts include articles for repair or replacement of equipment on board the ship. Although paints and chemicals are used for vessel’s technical maintenance and repair, Ukrainian customs office considers these articles as ship’s stores, and therefore, as subject to declaration. 3 MACN Guide – Ukraine TOP 5 pieces of advice to the Master in case of potential conflict with Ukrainian customs offices: 1. Notify the vessel’s P&I Club and MACN Local HelpDesk asking for assistance. 2. Inform the customs officer that you would like to use the interpreter for your native language (such right is prescribed by art.

  • Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine
    Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine September 14 – October 10, 2017 Methodology National Sample • The survey was conducted by GfK Ukraine on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research. • The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas) from September 14 to October 10, 2017 through face-to-face interviews at respondents’ homes. • The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. An additional 4,800 respondents were also surveyed in the cities of Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Mariupol and Mykolaiv (i.e. 1,200 respondents in each city). A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday methods for respondent selection. • Stage One: The territory of Ukraine was split into 25 administrative regions (24 regions of Ukraine and Kyiv). The survey was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas. • Stage Two: The selection of settlements was based on towns and villages. Towns were grouped into subtypes according to their size: • Cities with a population of more than 1 million • Cities with a population of between 500,000-999,000 • Cities with a population of between 100,000-499,000 • Cities with a population of between 50,000-99,000 • Cities with a population up to 50,000 • Villages Cities and villages were selected at random. The number of selected cities/villages in each of the regions is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each region.

  • Language Differentiation of Ukraine's Population
    Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics Volume 11 Issue 2 DOI 10.1515/jnmlp-2017-0008 Language Differentiation of Ukraine’s Population Yevhen Matviyishyn1, Tomasz Michalski2 1National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine 2University of Gdańsk1 Abstract While people of many nationalities live in Ukraine, Ukrainians and Russians constitute the majority of its population. Territorially, the Ukrainian language is spread unevenly, which results in pronounced bilingualism and language bipolarity. The influence of the Soviet policy of the Russian language dominance is still present in Ukraine. Ukrainian prevails in the sphere of public administration and education. Russian dominates in most mass media. Under such circumstances it is important to maintain conditions for the preservation of the language identity of other ethnic minorities, which would promote the development of linguistic diversity in Ukraine. Keywords Ukraine; bilingualism and language bipolarity; language identity; linguistic diversity; territorial distribution of languages Introduction The ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine connected with emergence of the so-called People’s republics (Lugansk People’s Republic & Donetsk People’s Republic) as well as the annexation of Crimea breed a number of questions related to the impact of various factors, both of an international (see Haukkala 2015, Jonsson & Seely 2015, Marten 2015, Robinson 2016, Roth 2007) and intra-Ukrainian nature (see Flynn 1996, Kuzio 2003, Peterson & Kuck 2014, Sotiriou 2016,

  • Novorossija” and the Development of National Consciousness in Ukraine
    Other Topics Where Putin’s Russia Ends “Novorossija” and the Development of National Consciousness in Ukraine André Härtel 107 In early 2014 the existence of an independent Ukraine hung by a thread. Russia had annexed the Crimean Peninsula, and with the “Russian Spring” a “hybrid” war in eastern Ukraine was initiated. At this moment the watchwords of “Novorossija” and Moscow’s “reconquering” of South-Eastern Ukraine gained popularity. Ultimately, the failure of the idea of a “Novorossija” is attributable mainly to developments within Ukraine that involved a renegotiation not only of ethno-national allegiances, but also of national and political loyalities since 1991.

  • Evaluating Performance and Development Priorities of Port Industry in Ukraine
    MATEC Web of Conferences 339, 01013 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/202133901013 ISTSML 2021 Evaluating performance and development priorities of port industry in Ukraine Natalia Mihai1*, Larysa Hryshyna1, Irina Khmarska1, Elena Pogoryelova1, and Nataliia Hryshyna1 1Admiral Makarov National University оf Shipbuilding, Prospekt Heroyiv Ukrayiny, 9, 54025, Mykolayiv, Ukraine Abstract. In this publication authors have evaluated seaports performance in Ukraine as part of transport infrastructure. It is highlighted that in modern conditions development of seaports as multifunctional entities capable of performing intermodal transportation, has a strategic impact on the country and might increase its competitiveness at international level. Peculiarities of port industry development in modern economic conditions and main problematic issues are defined, among which: low congestion of port facilities; irregular mechanism of public-private partnership; loss of transit flows by seaports; low level of digitalization in the area of transport and logistics activities; insufficient level of technical, technological and environmental safety in seaports. Strategic priorities of port industry development are substantiated, considering foreign experience and modern requirements of the world community. 1 Introduction Current stage of port industry operating in Ukraine, being a part of transport infrastructure, is characterized by insufficient development, reduced competitive position and profitability due to significant depreciation of fixed assets, as well as underdeveloped port infrastructure. Effective seaports performance depends on effective management system, implementing modern technologies and equipment capable of ensuring Ukraine’s competitive advantages in the world market. In the context of country’s integration into the world community, port industry plays the key role, because seaports are the link that might accelerate economic development.
