DUTY FREE FUEL THIS SUMMER AVAILABLE ONLY IN MONTENEGRO AS ALBANIA SHUTS YACHTS TAX FREE BUNKERING FOR THIS SEASON

As per the latest regulation of Albanian authorities and customs, duty free fuel for yachts is not available in any of Albanian port, it is still cheaper than most of the surrounding countries as duty paid fuel, excluding Montenegro, where you can still get duty free fuel on departure for both commercial and private yachts.

It was announced by the end of the year that it might happen, but as it had a big impact on yachting in Albania and area, everyone thought it is unlikely to happen in such short notice. Starting from 1st of January bunkering in Albania will be possible only with duty paid fuel, two of the biggest refueling points in Albania, Porto Romano in Durres and bunker station in the port of Sarande, just across of the Corfu will be able to deliver diesel fuel for yachts as per government regulated price, currently around 0.90-0.95 Euro per liter, which will be changed depending on the world oil market. Of course, we will be watching the market and situation before the upcoming season and if any change occurs we will update you so that you can plan accordingly.

At the moment situation in Montenegro remains the same as it was in the previous year, there are four main refueling points for duty-free diesel:

⛽ Porto Montenegro in Tivat – can fit all current sizes of yachts with all kinds of connections, starting from a pistol with 40 liters per minute for sailing vessels and smaller yachts, up to 1000 liter per minute on the superyacht dispenser with all possible camlock connections;

⛽ Portonovi, Kumbor – operated by Turkish Asmira company, opened in 2021 this is new duty-free facility in Boka bay which can refuel a bit smaller vessel up to 70-75m LoA with dispenser up to 450 liters in a minute and two smaller dispensers, for yachts up to 35m in the inner part of marina up to 60 liters for single, or 100 liters per minute with dual pistol connection;

⛽ Port of Bar in Bar area – there are two refueling points in the commercial part of the Port which can fit all sizes of yachts and vessels, including cruise and commercial ships (13 meters of draft is limitation) with a fuel rate around 600 liters per minute;

⛽ Fuel station in Marina Bar – operated by Petrol, Slovenian company, this fuel dock is limited with 40 meters of LoA and it is usually for a smaller yacht that are departing further south towards Albania and Greece or crossing towards Italy. There is pistol connection with rate around 90 liters per minute and camlock connection with up to 350 liters per minute.

In other ports and marinas, only duty-paid fuel is available. For duty-free diesel as per Montenegrin government regulation you will need agent who is representing you and sorting out papers with customs representatives.

Along the Montenegrin coast, there are three fuel stations where you can supply your yacht with tax and duty-free diesel.

Tax and duty-free fuel are available to both private and commercial yachts with no minimum limit nor registration restrictions.

In Montenegro, as per government regulation, fuel prices change every 14 days (night between Monday and Tuesday) but for large duty-free refueling quantities (over 100000 liters) price can be adjusted depending on the situation.

In contact with our team, you can supply your yacht with tax-free fuel in the next Montenegro ports:

I. Porto Montenegro – Tivat

Location: 42˚26.03’N 18˚41.33’E

Duty-free fuel for no limit in yacht size or quantity.

Positioned at the end of Jetty 3, this specialized fuel dock through it’s system holds stock of up to 800,000 liters of tax and duty-free fuel which can be pumped at up to 1000 liters per minute. The dock is operational all year round (with variation in working time, summer time is from 08.00 until 20.00 and winter time is from 08.00 till 17.00, but everything can be arranged to suit clients needs depending on availability) and up to three yachts can refuel at the same time.

The fuel provided is high-quality Euro diesel (Ultra-Low Sulphur) and you do not have to preorder a specific amount, you can take any quantity that is under safety requirements depending on your tank capacity.

Fuel dock in Porto Montenegro is part of the customs dock and you can clear out of Montenegrin waters as soon as you finish your bunkering directly from the berth.

As this is a specialized place for refueling of yachts additional services like mooring operations, firefighters etc. are included in overall service expenses.

In the winter time short notice for reservation of refueling slot is often possible, but in the season period several days ahead is obligatory due to occupation and availability.

The maximum draft in the port is 13 meters, and same as in the Boka Bay area pilotage is mandatory for all yachts over 1000 GRT.

At the moment due to limited capacities only one yacht refueling is possible and it is always advised to schedule your time several days ahead.
