Ukraine has passed the audit of the International Maritime Organization

"Ukraine has successfully passed the IMO audit ... Ukraine has confirmed its status as a naval power, and it is extremely important that the same is the assessment of our international partners, in particular, the International Maritime Organization. We have certain comments on the audit results, but among more than 50 countries, which also passed the IMO audit, the result of Ukraine can be considered exemplary. This is unequivocally the success of not only the maritime industry, but also of Ukraine as a whole," the minister said.
