The Association of Ukrainian Ports (Ukrport) was created in 2001 as an independent non-profit public organization responsible for Ukraine's ports and other water transport activities. Ukrport represents and protects the interests of its members in both state and international organizations and coordinates the activities of its members.

Until 1992, the Port of Sevastopol was dominated by military activities and by passenger transportation. In 1996, the Ukrainian government ordered that the Port of Sevastopol be opened for international traffic. Today's Port of Sevastopol has modern equipment and cargo-handling facilities for its primary cargoes of bulk, rolled metal, timber, boxes, and packages. It also serves cruise ships. The Port of Sevastopol has capacity to handle 600 thousand tons of cargo per year.
