On 28 May 1997, Russia and Ukraine signed several agreements regarding the fleet including the Partition Treaty. This finally established an independent Ukrainian Navy and transferred the boat to its control.[3] On 1 August 1997, the boat was renamed U241 Hola Prystan after the town in Kherson Oblast, Hola Prystan.[1]

In 2012, boat was serving as part of 1st separate division of protection and maintenance of the water area.

When in 2014, the 24th River Boat Division was disbanded, its former units were transferred to 1st Division of Protection and Security.
