ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to measure the
effectiveness of the governmental control of the maritime transport sector
during the period 1990-2018. It attempts to answer the questions that arose
during the review of the problem and analyzes the available data to extrapolate
the state control of the sector. The study also used the percentages as one of
the tools of statistical descriptive analysis as well as extrapolation tools,
and reasoning to discuss the hypotheses and draw conclusions. The main findings
of the paper were: The State shall control the maritime transport sector, but
in a manner that is not efficient and effective for the following reasons: 1)
The status of the maritime transport sector in the structure of the State
differs from that of the sector in the
comparative countries. 2) Incomplete legislative system governing the maritime transport sector in Sudan (conventions-laws-regulations-administrative
bodies). 3) Overlap of tasks and terms of reference between the maritime
administration and the parties operating in the maritime transport sector in
the operational and legislative aspects. 4) Lack of academic and research
institutions in the field of maritime transport, where there is only the
Department of Maritime Transport Economics at Red Sea University.
