Porto Montenegro fuel bunker .
After some comments that Mad Pad made on another posting we now know that fuel can be brought at 70c a litre duty free , at the fuel bunker , what we can't find out is if we have to clear in and out if we are not staying , just buying fuel and leaving .
If we have got to clear in and out do any one know what the cost is of doing this , we need to make sure it worth the trouble before we bother , we have emailed them buy they have not given us a clear answer about if there any cost involved .
Thanks guys

That's correct you will need to buy the minimum vignette.If you berth at the marina they will help you to do this,the port office is just outside the gate.
Shame not to spend a few days there,it is quite spectacular and a few 1st class restaurants around the bay.
PM me if you want anymore info,
I will be there the weekend after next.
Ring the marina,they are most helpful.
PS The superyachts often come in and take on euros 100,000 +OF FUEL,NOW THAT'S A SAVING!

Colin email the marina and they will let you know costs or I will be there next week.
Yearly we pay about euros 11,000 inc VAT.(AS YOU KNOW WE ARE THE SAME SIZE AS YOU)
Could you PM me your mobile as I appear to have lost it.
Best,Mad Pad.
PS You could txt M she is in Porto Montenegro at the moment.
 
We had to pay eur 50 but the website stated it should've been 40. Considering the state of the office I reckon they needed the extra tenner to keep things working.. . They did issue a 2 week vignette so it could've been an unknown bribe... We left after 4 days overall somewhat disappointed in Montenegro (although there were some very nice places) but maybe our expectations were unreasonably high.

Is the duty free fuel coloured?
 
Maybe, we did leave a bit earlier than planned to get a nice wind bringing us to Greece and didn't do the hinterland. But we found the coast in general a bit too touristy - the Margate /Ramsgate type of tourists but then Russian (very politically incorrect of course). Also lack of Anchorages (relative to Croatia /Greece). Croatia seemed like an unspoilt coastline in comparison and we were eexpecting the reverse.
 
Duty free fuel .
After quite a few emails to the marina and the fuel banker , it seen you can buy duty free fuel , but you have to check in and out , there no short cuts ,
you have to buy a courtesy flag , you have to buy a vignette

We worked it out if we fill our tanks and every contain we have on board we will save 100 Euros. Sound good ,at first glance .
Now
We have to pay 40 Euros for the vignette , another 30 for a courtesy flag , then there a marina berth ,about 50. Euros , we need to go into the marinas so the staff can take us to the custom point , ( not sure if there a charge for that ) they also want us to make an appointment , we been told Sunday or Monday isn't posable maybe Tuesday 5 PM taken every thing into account and as we don't want to stay , ie get the fuel and leave ,it not worth our while , it cost us more in the long run plus we have all the fuel to store over winter .

If you plain to visit Montenegro and stay some time , a week or so then I am sure it would be worth taken on fuel . it 70 c litre .
We been told that once you taken the fuel you must leave but some times the custom will let you stay 24 hours .
Hope this info help you.
