Ukrainian Sea Guard

Coast guard of Ukraine


The Ukrainian Sea Guard (Ukrainian: Морська охорона, romanized: Morska okhorona; full name Ukrainian: Морська охорона Державної прикордонної служби України, lit.'Sea Guard of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine') is the coast guard service of Ukraine, subordinated to the State Border Guard Service.[1]

The Sea Guard is the local successor of the Soviet Border Troops Naval Units that were similarly responsible for coast guard tasks. However, there were some interchanges in units, ships and personnel between the Sea Guard and the Ukrainian Navy.[clarification needed]

Service personnel of the Sea Guard wear either a black uniform similar to the Ukrainian Navy, but decorated with some green elements (traditional for border guard), or a common uniform of the Border Guard Service, while officers wear, since the 2010s, Western style sleeve insignia featuring the executive curl. Sea Guard vessels bear the Морська охорона inscription on their boards.

The creation of the Sea Guard began simultaneously with the creation of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine. After the proclamation of the Republic of Crimea, on March 18, 2014, the State Border Service began the withdrawal of the Sea Guard from Crimea.

Since 1999, ships and boats of the Sea Guard have been numbered with the prefix BG. Sea Guard vessels bear the Морська охорона inscription on their boards.

Organization

The Sea Guard operates four sea guard detachments: in Balaklava, Odesa, Izmail and Kerch; a sea guard cutters division in Mariupol; a special-purpose sea guard cutters division in Yalta; and a riverine Dnieper sea guard cutters division in Kyiv. Sea guard administration is split between the Azov-Black seas regional administration in Simferopol and the Southern regional administration in Odesa.

Future

From 2012 to 2014 there were plans to build 39 small guard ships of different classes, including 6 Koral-class[132] and 8 Orlan-class vessels. From 2015 onward, there are plans to build a multipurpose guard ship, with displacement around 1000 tons, which can carry one helicopter.[5][133][needs update]
