Estonian State Fleet Agency will be formed!

We consider this decision as one of the biggest reforms in Estonian Maritime sector!

Job well done from all involved!

It has been a challenging project to build up a solution that takes into account so many different aspects!

Forming of the State Fleet Agency means that all aspects of technical management activities related to vessels currently belonging to the Police and Border Guard Board, Estonian Pilot, Transport Administration, Environmental Board and Rescue Board will be taken over by the new central unit. In addition to traditional ship management services the State Fleet Agency will start to provide pilotage service and maintain floating aids to navigation in Estonian waters.

The Agency will have the capability to provide vessel management services also to the local universities and scientific institutions. Technical management and development of government owned ferries is also one of the aims.
