Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority
The Ukrainian Sea Ports Administration (USPA, AMPU in Ukrainian) is a state-owned enterprise that manages the infrastructure of Ukraine's sea ports — quay walls, water areas, approach channels and related assets. It operates under the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and is the central body handling port operations, vessel traffic and shipping logistics that have become critical for Ukrainian export since the disruption of Black Sea trade routes.
