The End of Montenegrin Shipping: Radulović Declares No More Aid Possible, Reveals 37 Million Euro Debt
Is this the end of an era or just the beginning of an even bigger mess? Filip Radulović, the maritime official, bluntly states: “It is no longer possible to help Montenegrin shipping!” Yes, you read that right. All legal mechanisms have been exhausted, and the ships of Montenegrin Shipping are sinking in debts and breakdowns.
The Ship Kotor in Trouble
Radulović has provided the media with video footage showing the condition of the ship Kotor, currently in the port of Savannah. On June 20, the US Coast Guard stopped the ship due to a failure in the safe navigation system caused by defects in the main and auxiliary engines. This is not just a technical problem but a symbol of a deep crisis in Montenegrin maritime affairs.
Debts That Strangle
The company Montenegrin Shipping owes the state about 37 million euros! Yes, 37 million! And the costs related to the ship’s stoppage in the port of Savannah continue to accumulate, while the company has no funds to cover them. This is not just a financial problem; it is a catastrophe unfolding before our eyes.
No More Sweeping Problems Under the Rug
Radulović clearly says: “We can no longer sweep problems under the rug. We must solve decades-old challenges, even if the solutions are painful.” And indeed, how much longer can we watch ships fall apart and debts pile up? Will someone finally stand up and say enough?
Conclusion
Montenegrin Shipping is on the brink of collapse, and aid has become impossible. A debt of 37 million euros and technical failures on the ships clearly show the situation is alarming. Will the state find a solution, or will we watch the ships slowly fade away? This is a question that demands an urgent answer.
