On the fourth anniversary of the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine, the USPA recalled the fallen employees.
This was announced by the head of the Sea Ports Administration of Ukraine, Mykola Kravchuk.
According to him, since the start of the full-scale invasion, nineteen USPA employees have died while performing combat missions or have gone missing. Two hundred and thirty-one civilians have been injured or killed in Ukrainian ports while working.
On the fourth anniversary of the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine, the USPA
honored the memory of the fallen crew members of the dredging vessel “Ingulsky”, which was blown up by an explosive device at the entrance to the Danube last year.
The measuring boat will now bear the name Ivan Koval. The boat is already operating in all water areas today – from the Danube to the ports of Greater Odessa. The name of Ivan Koval is now on board the vessel, which serves Ukraine every day.
The USPA management also submitted documents for a posthumous state award to Natalia Ishchuk, who worked on the ship as a cook. A new survey boat will be named after Danylo Goldov, who worked as a special equipment operator. The ship is planned to be put into operation in 2026. Danylo’s name will live on in the future fleet.
