Representatives of the US Coast Guard (US COAST GUARD), within the framework of the US-Montenegro International Security Program, held training for representatives of Montenegrin state and port administration from 29 October to 1 November 2018 with the aim of further enhancing the knowledge of our expert personnel directly responsible for the application of the ISPS Code (International Ship Security Ordinance). During the visit, the US Coast Guard visited Kotor, Luka Bar and Port of Adria.

The US Coast Guard and US Embassy delegation to Montenegro was received today by the Minister of Transport and Maritime Affairs Osman Nurkovic, together with the Directorates General for Maritime Economy and Maritime Traffic. Representatives of the US Coast Guard pointed out that progress has been made in improving the security of Montenegrin ports and that it is evident that while planning port investments, we consider that the development of ports and their needs in perspective corresponds to security standards in line with the ISPS code.

A continuation of the cooperation was agreed, which was mutually agreed to be extremely useful and has also significantly contributed to raising the level of security in our ports, in particular through the recommendations made by the US Coast Guard during the previous visit and the standards in ports.
