The State Service of Maritime and River Transport of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Державна служба морського та річкового транспорту України) (shortened to Maritime Administration) is an agency of the Ukrainian government under the Ministry of Infrastructure whose activities are aimed at implementing state policy in the field of sea and river transport of merchant shipping, navigation on inland waterways, navigation and hydrographic support of navigation, as well as in the field of safety in sea and river transport.

442 was adopted, which abolished the State Inspectorate of Ukraine for Safety in Sea and River Transport.

The impetus for this was the fact that the Administration of the Seaports of Ukraine, according to the minister, in 2016 remained a model of inefficiency, corruption and abuse.

On August 22, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine made a decision to fully launch the work of the State Service of Maritime and River Transport.

On October 9, 2020, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine made a decision to temporarily assign the duties of the head of the Maritime Administration to Andrey Glazkov.
