The implementation of international maritime law is one of the priority directions for the development of Shipping & Transport in Ukraine. The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine regularly informs about the opening of draft laws for discussion and conducts consultations with public organizations, lawyers, and business representatives.

We pay considerable attention to the work on draft laws, and with this in mind, the lawyers of the Black Sea Law Company have prepared recommendations on draft laws on the ratification of important international maritime conventions for Ukraine.

Thus, we have prepared our recommendations to the draft law on the ratification of the Maritime Labor Convention, 2006.

The recommendations were formed on the basis of Ukrainian legislation, international treaties ratified by Ukraine, recommendations and actual practice of the Comite Maritime International (CMI), the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), and the current text of the Maritime Labor Convention, in 2006, taking into account the experience of Black Sea Law Company specialists.

The second important issue – Recommendations on a draft law on amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine regarding Ukraine’s accession to the Ballast Water Management Convention.

The Laws mentioned above were drafted for the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine. So, we hope that these Laws will be adopted by the Ukrainian Parliament in the near future.
