Montenegro to build 15 mln euro fishing port - report

Construction works are expected to start after the end of the 2025 tourism season and to last two years, ministry officials told local daily Vijesti earlier this week.

The construction is part of Montenegro's efforts to meet EU requirements for fisheries development.

The project is a candidate for financing from the World Bank. The preparation of an international tender for drafting its main design is underway and should be published by the end of the first quarter of 2024. A contract with the selected consultant could be signed in the middle of the year, according to the ministry officials.

The port will be of mixed use and will have a total area of 35,000 square metres. It will be able to accommodate 79 fishing, tourist or recreational boats of up to 20 metres and will have facilities for fish storage and packaging, as well as 67 parking lots. Once built, the port is expected to create at least 10 new jobs, according to the report.
