Abstract
In Ukraine, the provision of administrative services in sea and river transportation is continuously evolving and actively seeking new effective mechanisms to streamline and enhance accessibility. The focus is on improving the quality of these services by integrating them with other public services through web portals. This integration has gained significant importance during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it allows for remote communication with the entities involved in providing administrative services. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the leading regulations on the activities of entities responsible for providing administrative services in maritime transportation, as well as to identify the features of their administrative legal status to further identify issues in the area under study and determine the most effective solutions for them. The research methodology employed a range of principles, with a primary emphasis on the integration of theory and practice. Within the scope of this study, an integrated approach was adopted as the methodological foundation, facilitating a comprehensive examination of the subject matter. Drawing from the findings, the authors examined the characteristics of the administrative legal status of entities involved in providing administrative services in maritime transportation. The study concluded that the responsibility for advancing Ukraine’s development as a maritime power lies with the state management bodies overseeing maritime activities and ensuring the delivery of high-quality administrative services. The analysis of the polyvariance of the positions identified in the discussion suggests that in the current conditions, Ukraine is only starting to introduce new information technologies of “e-Government”, respectively, providers of administrative services in maritime transportation face numerous complex issues. It was stated that the combined results of all International Maritime Organisation (IMO) audits can really help identify positive foreign practices, which are appropriate and necessary to introduce and ensure compliance with them on the territory of Ukraine based on international standards in maritime transportation.
