  • Transformed former Yugoslavian naval base into luxury port and marina village, enhancing marina capacity and boosting local tourism and community integration. 
  • Reduced client risks and costs by adapting FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) contracts to local laws, ensuring smoother execution.  
  • Delivered high quality facilities quickly, meeting tight deadlines without compromising quality, even while designed were still being finalised.

 

Since 2006, we have played an instrumental in transforming Porto Montenegro from an under-used shipyard into a world-class luxury destination. Over the past decade, our construction expertise has not only improved local processes but also accelerated development, ensuring higher standards throughout. 

Our journey began with the challenge of converting the original naval jetties to accommodate newer, larger vessels, including yachts up to 150m long. By meticulously programming and coordinating structural works, installation of services, and finishes simultaneously along the 250-berth jetty, we delivered the project within the tight three-month deadline. 

Throughout the phased development, we have project managed the construction of a marina, residential village, hotel, shops, restaurants, sports facilities, a naval heritage museum, and a five-star waterside hotel. Currently, the marina offers 450 berths for yachts up to 250m in length, and once complete, it will boast 850 berths – the most on the Mediterranean. 

Our commitment to excellence has seen us adapt industry-standard FIDIC contracts to local laws and procedures, reducing risks and costs for our clients. Despite the tight deadlines imposed by investors, our project team has consistently delivered, often progressing construction while designs were still being developed. 

Beyond construction, we have fostered local tourism by establishing sports teams and restoring ancient hill paths around the marina, encouraging greater integration of yacht crews with the local community. Our efforts have not only enhanced the development but also enriched the local culture, making Porto Montenegro a premier destination on the Mediterranean.
