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.

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
What is the status of the maritime transport sector in the organizational structure of the Ministry of Transport compared to the status of the sector at the level of the countries of the world?
3) The opportunities available in the maritime transport sector in Sudan are: a) Take advantage of the amendment of the status of the control department in Sudan to generalize the benefit from it. b) Attention to national and international maritime legislation. c) There is an overlap between the oversight functions and the executive tasks of the Maritime Ports Authority because it is assumed that the Ports Authority itself will monitor the effectiveness of the control system, which comes from its administrative, financial and technical exploitation
Summary
The countries of the world pay particular attention to the maritime transport sector because about 90% of the foreign trade of the countries including Sudan is transported by sea.
