KYIV, June 18 – Ukraine has successfully passed the International Maritime Organization (IMO) audit, Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan has said.

"We were able to organize ourselves and proved that Ukraine is a maritime state! The result of the audit gladdened not only us, but also international auditors. With an average number of comments on the audit results for each country being more than 22, Ukraine has less than 10, and only one warning," Omelyan wrote on his Facebook page.
