The municipality of Tivat is part of the EU project - DECAR BOATS

The Municipality of Tivat has secured funding for an IPA project within the framework of the European Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Interreg IPA South Adriatic area Italy-Albania-Montenegro. The project is called "Decarbonisation of Small Boats in the South Adriatic Sea" (DECAR BOATS), aimed at reducing emissions of harmful gases in maritime transport through the transition of small vessels to electric propulsion.
The total value of the DECAR BOATS project is 1,139,077.78 euros, while 178,038.00 euros has been allocated to the Municipality of Tivat.
The overall objective of the project is to decarbonize maritime transport in the South Adriatic region, through the implementation of sustainable solutions that include the use of small electric vessels and the integration of renewable energy sources. In this way, it contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, improving air quality and strengthening the sustainable development of coastal communities. Within the framework of this project, the Municipality of Tivat will ensure the procurement of electric speedboats, as well as electric charging stations.
Upon completion of the procurement, the electric speedboat will be given to the Municipal Enterprise of the Municipality of Tivat for use and management, which will use it to perform tasks within its jurisdiction. Within the framework of this project, the Municipality of Tivat will also cooperate with its partner from Montenegro, the Maritime Faculty from Kotor.
The lead partner in the project is the "Participation foundation DHITECH-HIGH-TECH", while other partners, in addition to the faculty from Kotor, are the Technological District (Italy), the Higher Technological Institute for Mobility Ge.In.Logistic (Italy), LAG Coastal Molise (Italy), Aleksander Moisiu University Durres from Albania.
