Dear Mr. Lim!

On behalf of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine I would like to express our profound respect to the International Maritime Organization. 
Given the current situation and the introduction of restrictive measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the world and Ukraine; and considering that many companies  are unable to secure timely crew changes, in addition to the letters of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine № 890/46/14-20 of 23rd of March 2020, № 5021/46/10-20 of 13th of April 2020, № 1635/46/14-20 of 28th of May 2020, № 12951/46/10-20 of 17th of September 2020, № 4144/46/14-20 of 08th of December 2020, № 2196/46/14-21 of 18th of June 2021, № 2758/46/14-21 28th of July 2021 and № 3027/46/14-21 of 18th of August 2021 herewith we inform you of the measures adopted and enforced by Ukraine with regard to the validity of seafarers’ qualification documents, issued on behalf of Ukraine to seafarers, who are currently on voyage or ashore.
We would be very grateful if the Secretariat circulates this letter among all IMO Member States.
Let me avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency and the International Maritime Organization assurances of my highest consideration and express hope for further fruitful cooperation.

Attachment: Measures Adopted and Enforced by Ukraine (3 pages).
