Important Update – Duty-Free Fuel Regulations in Montenegro for 2025

With tax-free diesel fuel reinstated, we are pleased to inform you about significant updates regarding duty-free fuel regulations in Montenegro, which are set to enhance operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with local policies. With the return of this significant benefit, we anticipate a successful 2025 season and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

As part of these updates, all duty-free fuel transactions will now require the involvement of a licensed yacht agent to ensure a seamless and compliant process. Below are the key policy changes you should be aware of:

Key Updates to Duty-Free Fuel Regulations

1. Mandatory Agent Involvement 

All duty-free fuel transactions must be arranged through a registered agent, you can use fuel traders for organization of refuelling but local documentation handling and customs procedures must be with agent from Montenegro.

2. Fuel Pricing & Fees 

Prices will be set according to the official Government of Montenegro rates within their validity period, which is set to update on the night between Monday and Tuesday, every two weeks (14 days period). A Fuel Dock Usage Fee might and will be applied based on the quantity supplied and fuel supplier.

3. Documentation & Compliance

All yachts must prepare required documentation in a timely manner, with all requested information along with a valid vignette (transit log) for a period of stay in Montenegrin territorial waters. Customs will require the approved duty-free fuel Request Form along with supporting evidence which needs to be signed and stamped with a boat stamp (mandatory ink stamp on board), captains signature as well as appointed agent sign and stamp.

Zimski vez u Crnoj Gori

Jahting sezona za Mediteran je već pri kraju. Imali smo treći po redu MYBA-Pop Up Super Yacht Show u Porto Montenegru koji je trajao od 8. septembra do 10. septembra. 

Ova turistička sezona je bila fenomenalna, kako za Porto Montenegro, tako i za cijelu Crnu Goru.

Damen je najavio da će u saradnji sa Porto Montenegrom doći u Crnu Goru do nove godine, tako da ćemo imati zaokruženu uslugu jahting industrije na najvećem nivou. Bilo je dosta kulturnih dešavanja i različitih promocija. Sve u svemu jedno uspješno ljeto.

Kraj sezone kod nas je u stvari početak sezone na Bahamima, Karibima, Pacifičkim zemljama, Australiji.

Za one koji žele da ostanu kod nas i dalje, mogu. Naše marine i luke izdaju vezove preko cijele godine (Marina Bar, Marina Budva, Marina Porto Montenegro, Marina Kotor), neke imaju i suve vezove u ponudi (Marina Bar), za manja plovila. Imamo prosječno 275 sunčanih dana u toku godine. Nismo, još uvijek, u Evropskoj Uniji. Porez na dodatu vrijednost za jahting industriju nam je 7 %. 

Nismo na ovoj listi:

Dozvoljena brzina plovidbe na području Bokokotorskog zaliva

Porto Montenegro, Luštica Bay i Portonovi samo su neki od pokazatelja koliko je Crna Gora poslednjih godina usmjerena ka jahting industriji. Sve veći broj jahti i kruzera koji uplovljavaju u teritorijalne vode Crne Gore govore koliko je Crna Gora popularna destinacija na turističkojh mapi Evrope.

S obzirom na popularnost Bokokotorskog zaliva kao turističke destinacije najveći broj plovila uplovljava u ovaj dio crnogorske obale. Samim tim u toku ljetnje sezone povećane su i mjere bezbjednosti. Pomorska policija i predstavnici lučke kapetanije svakodnevno vrše kontrolu plovila.

Bokokotorski zaliv

U koliko planirate da posjetite neku od marina Bokokotorskog zaliva (Porto Montenegro-Tivat, marina Kotor, marina Risan, luka Zelenika, marina Herceg Novi), a kako bi izbjegli nepotrebne kazne, neophodno je da posjedujete vinjetu (dozvola za korišćenje plovnih puteva) kao i da obratite pažnju na maksimalnu dozvoljenu brzinu kretanja u zalivu. 

Vinjetu za strana plovila neophodno je izvaditi u prvoj lučkoj kapetaniji ili ispostavi nakon ulaska u teritorijalne vode Crne Gore. Vinjetu je neophodno izložiti na vidnom mjestu. Kako bi istu dobili u što kraćem vremenskom periodu obratite se Yacht Agent Montenegro timu.

Kada govorimo o kretanju plovila kroz bokokotorski zaliv maksimalna dozvoljena brzina plovila je do 10 čvorova (10kn), dok je u kumborski tjesnac i tjesnac Verige brzina ograničena na 6 čvorova (6kn). 

Ovih ograničenja moraju se pridržavati svi učesnici pomorskog saobraćaja: kruzeri, jahte, mega jahte, gliseri, čamci, skuteri, jedrilice, katamarani, trimarani...
