Tivat

From CruisersWiki

Tivat (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Тиват, pronounced [tîv̞at]) is a coastal town in southwest Montenegro, located in the Bay of Kotor. It has a population of 14,111 (2011 census).

The town itself is hardly picturesque. It has most facilities. It is being upgraded by the company that owns Porto Montenegro. For example the company has installed new water and sewage for the village as part of its general works. With the number of super yachts in the marina, most marine needs are catered for.

Fuel	Fuel can be purchased tax-free at the Porto Montenegro marina. Immediate departure from Montenegro to a foreign port is necessary, but it may be possible to obtain permission for next-day departure. There is very heavy paperwork involved but the fuel station performs all the work and charges a €0.06 per liter commission. This commission is already included in the quoted price. Price in October 2016, all inclusive: €0.48 per liter (diesel). Advance appointment necessary, contacting the marina in advance of arrival to Montenegro is recommended Note: Jerry cans cannot be filled tax-free. Regular taxed price of about €1.oo per liter of diesel applies as of October 2016
Bottled gas	There is a large gas station half-way on the road from Tivat to the airport which will refill certain types of gas bottles. In late 2016, it filled up U.S.-origin tanks, but was not able to fill a French "Le Cube" bottle. The price was less than the re-fill price in the U.S. In spring 2017, it re-filled blue Gaz camping bottles.
Chandlers	There is a small chandlery in the marina Porto Montenegro There is a large well stocked chandlery in the village, in the road behind Hotel Palma near the small boat marina. It is part of the Una chain. Mooring line was 1/4 of the UK price, but impossible to splice as not proper braid on braid.
