Porto Montenegro, the luxury marina village in Tivat, Montenegro, is pleased to announce its partnership with France-based Freedom Maritime to establish a full-service yacht chandlery in Porto Montenegro.
Freedom Maritime chandlery will be operated in partnership with Compositeworks, a leading French superyacht repair and maintenance operator from La Ciotat, France. The full range of products and services will be available to Porto Montenegro’s guests from July 2010. Yachts of all sizes will find an extensive range of cleaning, safety, interior and engineering products from the world’s best producers, including 3M, AERE, MIELE, Bulgari, Caterpillar, MCA, Lloyds, Ocean Safety and others. The new chandlery will be located in Porto Montenegro’s first residential and retail complex, Teuta, and will offer the same variety, quality of products and level of service enjoyed at other Freedom Maritime locations around the world.
“We are excited to partner with Porto Montenegro to open our chandlery store and enter one of the fastest growing yacht destinations. With Porto Montenegro’s world class facilities and its proximity to some of the best cruising grounds in the Mediterranean, Montenegro is to become the next centre for the yachting world”, says Pete Williams of Freedom Maritime. “Our experienced team has an extensive network of the world’s best suppliers, as well as a distribution fleet of vans and worldwide shipments departing from our stores on a daily basis. All of these will combine to provide Porto Montenegro’s clients with first-class service for all of their yachting needs”.
