MONTENEGRO - BREATHTAKING BEAUTY

The Republic of Montenegro (area of 13.812 square kilometres

and a population of 630.000) is situated in the north of the BalkanPeninsula. On one side it exits to the Adriatic-Mediterraneangeographic area, and on the other, through the Pannonia Basin, it isconnected with the Central Europe and further with the worldseconomy.

Montenegro covers a comparatively small area, but when it comesto natural advantages, its cultural and historical richness and manyother features, it is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the

world. The most developed forms of tourism are bathing (summer) andwinter tourism.The Montenegrin coast (with coastal length of 294 km), has

numerous sand and pebble beaches (total of 117, length 73 km). Thetotal length of sand beaches is 33 km. The beaches have a capacity of230 000 bathers. The fact that the temperature is greater than 18C for6 months of the year, along with an adequate water temperature andelevated insulation, puts the Montenegrin coast in the group of thewarmest and sunniest tourist regions in Europe.

Although considered a Mediterranean country, Montenegro alsorepresents a typically mountainous area, whose area at an elevationhigher than 1000 m above sea level represents 60.5% of its territory.The Montenegrin mountain chain, which stretches from Maglia,Volujka and Bioa in the west, to Prokletije in the east, cut withgrandiose canyons with over 35 picturesque lakes, represents one ofthe most attractive and ecologically preserved mountain regions inEurope.

The old town of Kotor and the Tara Canyon are of particular valueand are under the protection of UNESCO. There are four nationalparks, which are the most attractive and ecologically best preservednatural reserves: Durmitor, Biogradska gora, Lake Skadar andLoven and preparations are being made to establish two more:Orjen and Prokletije.

Montenegro is the sea foam but also the snow dust. In Novemberor May, tourists can swim in the clean sea, and later, after only two-hours drive, they can ski on Bjelasica or Durmitor mountains.

The most complete and reliable information about tourist offer inMontenegro can be found on the official web site of the NationalTourism Organization of Montenegro: www.visit-montenegro.com.

SHIP'S RADIO STATION

Having taken the helm in your hands you have taken upon yourself theresponsibility for the safety of your crew and valuable ship. It is understood thatyou are familiar with the rules and craft of navigation, but the question is howlong has it been since your last use of radio station and do you still rememberthe rules of conduct and maritime radio codex.

When using the ship radio station it is important have in mind some basicrules. The station is not a mobile phone - one should be short and clear, and ifnecessary, repeat the message twice.

Safety channel 16 (VHF band) is only for establishing com-munication, notfor conversation, except in case of distress.

Should you hear MAYDAY or PAN-PAN, and you are not in a positionto help, do not interfere, let someone else, who can help, take the call.Should you find yourself in a situation where you have to ask for help, try

to evaluate your situation as objectively as possible and then choose the rightdistress signal (MAYDAY or PAN-PAN). If you do not have a GPS (GlobalPositioning System) to read the coordinates off it, it is of a vital importance todescribe the position as accurately as possible.

Radio service is on watch day and night for our safety at sea, transmittingmaritime safety information, of which the most important are the weatherreports, navigational warnings, information on ships that have sent a distress

(MAYDAY, emergency (PAN-PAN) or safety (SECURITE) signal, etc.One can often hear that for the communication in our part of the AdriaticSea it is enough to possess a mobile phone. Even if that were the case, and it isnot, when neverastarts you will not be in a position to make a call asking forhelp (MAYDAY) or inform the closest Harbour Masters Office that your engineshave failed. It is in situations like these that a simple VHF radio station can saveyour life.


18/50

A THING OR TWO ABOUT DISTRESS SIGNALS

Distress signals are used exclusively when a ship/boat and all personsaboard are in a grave danger or when a ship/boat is in a position of animmediate danger. The decision of announcing a distress situation lies on shipsmaster (or boats coxswain) after which the international distress call is placedthrough available means (if available on boat).

RADIO-TELEPHONE DISTRESS SIGNALS

MAY DAY - distress signal - to be sent only in situations when ship/boat andpersons aboard are in danger. These situations include: fire aboard, collision,penetration of water in the vessel, hard grounding, engine failure in badweather. It has the highest priority in radio traffic. The decision of sending thissignal lies exclusively on the ship master (coxswain), and shall be sent to allradio-telephone stations. MAYDAY signal sends the message which has to beshort and clear and has to include the following:

- sign, name of ship (boat) or its distinctive number or letters;- position;- type of danger and the kind of help necessary.

PAN PAN - emergency signal - to be sent only in situations when ship/boat orpersons aboard are in danger. It means that (ships) radio station has a veryurgent message regarding the safety of the vessel or persons aboard (manoverboard, engine failure, sickness, etc). It is second in radio traffics line ofpriority.

SECURITE - safety signal - is transmitted by a coast radio station when thesafety of navigation is in any kind of danger (important navigational ormeteorological warning), such as: non-functional navigational lights, suddenstorms, information regarding the aquatorium closed for navigation, etc.

MEDICO - signal for medical assistance - to be sent when asking for medicalassistance. It is sent on VHF ch16, and is afterwards immediately transferred toanother channel.

NOTE: Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) is situated in Bar, withsub-centers in Harbour Masters Offices Bar and Kotor. Side by side with theMRCC BAR, they are keeping constant watch on VHF ch16 and ch24. You canmake a distress call to the MRCC BAR on the telephone number 085/9833.

HOW TO ASK FOR HELP AT SEA

If the vessel is in distress at sea, thus has to ask for assistance of otherboats or help from the land, the following signals can be used, contemporarily orseparately:

- fire a gun in one minute intervals;- continual sound made by any type of appliance;

- flares or red light torches;- lighting fire on the boat;- orange smoke signals;

- slowly raising and lowering of arms;- ''SOS'' signal ( --- ), 3 short, 3 long and 3 short signals,

with a flash light, mirror or sound;- sending at least three times continually words: ''MAY DAY'',

via ships radio station.


20/50

MAN OVERBOARD

In the worst case scenario, when the wave takes the member of the crewoverboard, you should stop the boat in order to lift the person aboard.

You have to remember: if this unfortunate situation should happen, theright action is to know at all times what each member of the crew is doing. Torecover the person in the water one should always come from a directiondirectly opposite from the winds direction, in order to have enough time forstopping the boat.

If the person is being recovered from a small or medium boat, one shouldtake a windward position to avoid the wind throwing us at that person.

If you are on a heavier ship of a deeper draught, you can put the person inthe water windward, where he/she would be protected from wind and waves,but again, this is possible only on a big ship which doesnt drift at all.

The approaching procedure should be adjusted to the situation and thetype of ship on which you are, but the person in the water should be recoveredon the first try. Because of this, if you are manoeuvring on the stormy sea andyou are not sure to make the correct approach with the ship, you should stopthe ship at some distance from the person in the water and send the bestprepared member of the crew, previously tied with a rope and equipped withlifejacket.

FIRST AID

When dealing with injuries which may happen on the ship, the mostimportant thing is a timely first aid.

If injuries have caused bleeding, you must perform immobilisation by tyingabove the injured blood vessel or by applying pressure on the injury in order tostop the blood.

Extremity breaks must be immobilised immediately by a tight plate andbandages, and the injured person should then be transported to the nearesthospital.

In the case of burns, the most important is to wash the burned spot by coldwater, bandage with sterile gauze and, depending on the degree of burn, askfor medical assistance.

WINDS ON THE MONTENEGRIN COAST

Modern navigator needs to have basic knowledge of the weather, in order to beable to, from the weather notices given via media and local indicators, draw a picture ofthe development of weather conditions for the area of navigation.

In the South Adriatic region there are 8 types of winds whose directions ofblowing are following: Tramontana from north (N), Bura from northeast (NE), Levantfrom east (E), Jugoiroko from southeast (SE), JugoOtro from south (S), Lebi fromsouthwest (SW), Pulenat from west (W) and Mistral from northwest (NW).

Tramontana is a type of bura blowing mainly from north (N). It is a local, cold,dry and short-lived (1 day) wind, but it is not as strong and squally as Bura. It isfollowed by clear skies and high air pressure. It is more common on the South Adriatic.

Bura is a dry, usually strong and cold squally wind blowing from NNE to ENEalong the coast, during the whole year, but more frequently during winter months. Justlike other winds, Bura can be cyclonic and, in this case more often, anticyclonic(followed by a high air pressure). Bura is more often during winter. It gains hurricanepower at the end of October, in December, January and March. During summer it lasts

usually one day and sometimes even just several hours. In winter, it can sometimeslast for 14 days, with occasional breaks.

Levant is a type of Bura, blowing from east. It is short-lived, steady andmoderately strong. It is a transitional wind when Jugo becomes Bura or vice versa. Inwinter, it is followed by rain and moderately cold weather, and it is sometimes knownfor bringing snow.


25/50

WIND ROSE

Jugo is a warm, moist wind of moderate speed and steady direction. It mostlyblows from SE (Jugo-iroko) to S (Jugo-Otro). It can create very high waves andusually brings rain. In the South Adriatic, Jugo is stronger and more frequent than in theNorth Adriatic, during all seasons, especially from March to June (in the North Adriatic)and from autumn to the end of winter (in the South Adriatic). During summer, it usuallylasts up to 3 days; during winter to 9 days and sometimes, with breaks, it can last up to21 days.

Lebi is a wind blowing mainly from SSW to WSW. It is especially strong duringwinter months; it creates high waves and it is followed by heavy rain and poor visibility.It usually blows one to two days, and in the summer only for few hours.


26/50

Pulenat blows from west (W). It blows rarely and comes suddenly. It is a short-lived, cold and dangerous wind.

Mistral is a daily wind, typical for the summer. It blows from NW. Mistral is apleasant and refreshing wind of even and soft to moderate strength. The air pressure islow. This is the wind to wish for in the summer since it alleviates summer heat and isfollowed by nice and steady weather. It starts blowing around 9am or 10am as a softbreeze, and reaches its peak around 2 pm; it usually ends before sunset. From themorning towards the afternoon it changes the direction to the right, or, to put it simply, itfollows the sun; it starts as a southeast wind and, going southwest, it turns tonorthwest.

Beside local winds on the Adriatic, there is also local and short-lived badweather called nevera or neverin, which is a type of sudden storm. Nevera canhappen in all seasons, but it is more frequent in the summer. Summer nevera ismore typical of north Adriatic and winter nevera of south Adriatic. Neverasfeatures are strong and dangerous wind gusts, heavy rain, lightning and thunderas well as a temperature drop.

Signs of weather aggravation:

- wreath around the Sun or the Moon, with accompanying damp wind;- pale Moon and a wreath (ring) around it;

- exceptionally high tides;- no Mistral wind;

- red skies or rainbow early in the morning;- winter Mistral is announcing wind and rain;- strong wind in the morning with clear skies;

- Bura turning to E and especially to SE, with clear skies;

- grey wall of clouds in the west, especially in the evening;- pale yellow Sun before setting;- drop of air pressure;

- const. low pressure during bad weather means the condition will last.

WEATHER REPORT

Any experienced navigator knows that constant consideration of weatherconditions contributes to the safety at sea and makes navigation more pleasant.

Weather report of the Hydrometeorological Institute (www. meteo.cg.yu) istransmitted around the clock by the Coast radio station BARRADIO on VHF ch16 andch24, at fixed UTC time (to which you have to add one hour during winter, and twohours during daylight saving time).

You will also be able to receive Italian and Croatian Coast radio stations in theAdriatic as well. These are the names of other Coast radio stations transmitting weather

reports:

A FEW ADVICES FOR AVERAGE NAVIGATORS

Navigation, when the weather is fine, is no problem at all and the advices wewish to give are for the average navigator, the one who spends at sea two or threeweeks each year.

Each navigation starts with a plan. The cruising plan can be developed inadvance, but it doesnt have to be. Plans do have a tendency to change, depending onweather conditions, wishes of the crew and who knows what else. The important thingis to have some sort of plan and to pay attention to weather conditions and state of theboat and the crew. Those managing a boat must be aware of how much they know, orbetter, of how much they dont know; how helpful can their crew be and how much canthe boat take. This type of evaluation requires certain experience, which many donthave, and that is why the rules are: one is never too careful and the heroism has noplace here!

Each navigation starts with putting out to sea and ends with arrival in port, andthis is exactly when the experience, or inexperience, of the skipper is shown. He is theone who has to teach the crew members who are at sea for the first time how to moveon the boat. The skipper must explain his intentions during the maneuver so that eachcrew member would know what is his/her task and what is expected from him/her. If theskippers explanations are clear and if the boat is prepared on time, everything will gosmoothly and quietly, even with an inexperienced crew.

When putting out to sea, it should be checked where the mooring ropes aresituated, how close to the propeller they are and especially if they are intertwined. Thearrival in port is somewhat more difficult, compared to putting out to sea. It is customaryto enter port mole sternwards, but it is not always an easy thing to do. Everythingshould be taken into consideration what is the direction of the wind, what is thepropulsion of the propeller, how much space there is, etc. If the situation does not makeyou happy and you are not sure that everything will go smoothly, you can enter bows-on. The maneuver is easier for sure.

Anchoring may seem easy, but there are things you need to know about this,too. It is easy if you are anchoring for the purpose of an afternoon swim, but finding asafe anchorage to spend the night is another thing.


29/50

First, you should avoid coming at night because it is not easy to asses thedistance from the coast and other boats; you cannot see the bottom, buoys, ropes ofother ships and other little things that can make things complicated for you.

MARINA IN BAR

It is clear by itself that the anchorage should be a place to hide from the winds.The seabed must hold the anchor, which means that you should be anchoring on sandor mud, if you can, and rocks and weed should be avoided. If the seabed is not ideal, atleast the place for anchorage should not be deep. It is not the same to dive 5 or 15meters to free the anchor. We suggest throwing the anchor not deeper than 10 meters.Once youve chosen the place for anchoring, the anchor has to be laid. The anchorshould be dropped when the bow is turned windward and the boat is standing still. Itshould be dropped fast, and when on the seabed, the line should be released at thespeed of the boat making a sternboard. This way, the line will be laid straight and,when it is three times longer than the distance of the seabed, it should be slowly

stopped and you should wait for it to tighten up.All kinds of unexpected things can happen on a boat and that is why thecomplete equipment aboard should be kept on the same place. It is the only way tomake sure that the right piece of a tooling kit or safety equipment will reach your hands.That is exactly why the boat should not be overstuffed with everything that crosses yourmind.

PROTECTION OF SEA AGAINST POLLUTION

In the world today there is a grave danger of environment pollution caused bynoxious and dangerous substances. The vision of ecological disaster asks fororganized undertakings for the environment protection, both in international andnational and local frameworks. Especially, world seas need to be protected againstpollution since they represent a significant source of human life and survival.

The sources of pollution can vary and can come from land, air, damages ofmarine and land oil pipelines; can be caused by exploration and exploitation of searesources (primarily oil), dumping of noxious substances from ships, etc. Nevertheless,a significant amount of pollution is caused by ships. Wrecks, resulting in ecological

disasters, such as wrecks of Torrey Canyon, Amoco Cadiz and Exxon Valdezshould not be forgotten.Of the total amount of water on the planet 97% is salt water, meaning seas and

oceans, and the remaining 3% is fresh water.Sea pollution can be physical, chemical and biological pollution:

- Physical pollution is caused by discharge of water of high temperature from shipsfacilities. This water causes the increase of sea temperature, which results in speedingup of biochemical reactions with the increased use of oxygen. The lack of oxygen andthe generated amount of substance form reactions disrupt the metabolism andphysiological balance of aquatic organisms, thus creating the conditions for thedevelopment of micro-organisms and viruses.

- Chemical pollution is caused by discharge of oil, waste oil, noxious liquidsubstances, sewage discharge and medical discharge from ships.

- Biological pollution is caused by spreading about of bacteria, viruses and insectsfrom ships, which are often the cause of water-related diseases and even epidemics.

EXTRACT FORM REGULATIONS FOR THE PROTECTIONOF SEA AGAINST POLLUTION FROM SHIPS

It is forbidden to throw away and discharge into sea the following:- garbage (plastic objects, synthetic ropes and fishing nets, as well as ashes from the

substances that may contain toxic or heavy metal residue);- oily waste (oily bilge water, oil residue, oily ballast water, etc.);- noxious liquid substances;- sewage discharge, medical waste or animal waste.

Exceptionally, these provisions shall not apply:

- if discharge of waste is performed for the security of ship or safety of life;- if discharge of waste is the result of damage of ship or has occurred for othersimilar reasons, with all necessary measures for the prevention of dischargepreviously taken.

EXTRACT FROM REGULATIONS FOR THE PROTECTIONOF SEA AGAINST POLLUTION FROM BOATS

It is forbidden to throw away and discharge into sea the following:- fuel, oil and oily compounds, sewage waste and garbage.

Pleasure boat owners shall keep the waste in boat tanks or other receptacles forwaste and discharge it in appropriate facilities for the reception of hard and liquid wastein the marinas.

NOTE:Should you notice any occurences regarding sea pollution, pleasereport these to one of the following offices:

INFORMATION FOR DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NAVIGATORS

Navigation is becoming the way to spend holidays for the ever-growing number of people.Maybe this is the first year that you have decided to spend holidays on the Montenegrincoast. In that case it is good to familiarize with some details that can make your cruise inthe Adriatic safer and more pleasant, and the following recommendations will be usefuleven to those who have already visited our coast.

PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES

After technical survey and after Maritime Safety Department (Department of

Technical Inspectorate-Tivat) has issued the Certi-ficate of Seaworthiness, or if youalready posses one, meaning that your vessel is registered in the Harbour MastersRegister of Boats, you need two permits for navigation: one is the ''Permit for Navi-gation for Boats'' and the other is the ''Coxswains Certificate of Competence'', issuedby Harbour Masters Offices in Bar and Kotor.

When you have decided to go to sea, control the fittings, instruments andequipment on the boat, because these are liable to control by the Harbour MastersOffices and Maritime Border Police. Once at sea, you need to have on board the Permitfor Navigation for Boats, as well as a regular Coxswains Certificate of Compe-tence.

For vessels flying a foreign flag, you also need the ''List of Crew members andPassengers on board'', as well as the ''Cruising and Stay Permit in the territorial watersof the Republic of Monte-negro'', issued by Harbour Masters Offices in Bar and Kotor.

Name: Telephone: Fax: Mobile:Technical Insp. Office - Tivat 082/671-252 082/671-251 069 333 252Harbour Masters Office Bar 085/313-733 085/311-384 069 290 274

Harbour Masters Office Kotor 082/304-312 082/304-313 069 681 504

The Coxswain Certificate of Competence itself does not guarantee that you arecapable to manage a boat in all situations which might await you at sea. So, if you donthave confidence in your own abilities, board an experienced Skipper with you. This wayyou will be safe, and you might also learn something.

ADVICE FOR THOSE PLANNING TO RENT A VESSEL

We suggest that beginners, planning to rent a vessel for the purpose of cruisingthe Montenegrin coast, should not be shy and ask questions regarding anything theydont know.

Preparing for navigation they have to be careful when choosing the yachting clubfrom which to rent a vessel, to choose an experienced Skipper and decide which vesselis appropriate for the type of cruising they wish to undertake; they have to know whichequipment is required and what should be taken into consideration when taking overthe vessel, and most importantly, what are the things to bring aboard to make thenavigation as safe and as pleasant as possible.

When taking over the vessel it is important to go over the following items with the

Skipper: accommodation and ways to use life jackets, fire fighting equipment, first-aidkit, signal rockets; familiarization with ships VHF/VHF DSC radio station and othernavigational installations and instruments, nautical charts and necessary tools;functioning of the anchor and anchor winch, etc.

Dont be afraid to ask several times the question you have not received asatisfactory answer to.

REGULATIONS AND FEES FOR BOATS

Boats subject to registration into Register of Boats can navigate in the coastal seaand inland waterways if their seaworthiness is established in accordance withprovisions of the Regulation for Boats, if they posses Permits for Navigation and if theboat is conducted by a properly certified person.

A boat is considered to be seaworthy, in established limits and purposes ofnavigation, if its construction, characteristics, propulsion and other installations andequipment are in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation.

A new boat intended for commercial use, as well as boats which have changedtheir original purpose into commercial use, shall be considered seaworthy if theirconstruction, characteristics, propulsion and other installations and equipment are inaccordance with the Technical Rules for the Construction of Boats established by theMaritime Safety Department. The seaworthiness is established by a technical surveyperformed by technical surveyors of the Department - Technical Inspectorate in Tivat.

Boats are subject to initial, periodical and occasional surveys. The initial surveycan be docking or in-water survey; periodical and occasional are always in-water

surveys except when the survey authority (the Department) comes to a conclusion thatthe boats condition is such that it needs to be surveyed dry-docked or if the boat inquestion is used for commercial purposes. Boat surveys are performed at the requestof the owner and with compensation.

PANORAMA OF BAR

Nevertheless, dont forget that the manner of navigation is the most importantthing for the safety of navigation, and it mostly depends on the competence of the crewand the functionality of the vessel.

Always, literally always, keep in mind that you must never overestimate yourpossibilities because conditions of navigation can change (for worse) very quickly, andit is then that, for an inexperienced crew, problems start.

Also, dont exaggerate with the daily distance to cover. Too many covered mileson a fair summer day can result in headaches, sunstrokes or burns.
