Ukrainian Sea Guard


Ukrainian Sea Guard is the coast guard service of Ukraine, subordinated to its Border Guard Service.
Ukrainian Sea Guard is the local successor of the Soviet Border Troops Naval Units that have been similarly responsible for coast guard tasks. However, there were some interchanges in units, ships and personnel between Sea Guard and the Ukrainian Navy.
Service personnel of the Sea Guard wear either the black uniform similar to Ukrainian Navy, but decorated with some green elements, or a common uniform of the Border Guard. Sea Guard vessels bear the Морська охорона inscription on their boards.

Organization

The Sea Guard operates four sea guard detachments: in Balaklava, Odessa, 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 Kiev. Sea guard administration is split between the Azov-Black seas regional administration in Simferopol and the Southern regional administration in Odessa.
