Risks:
Crnogorska Plovidba was originally established as a state-owned enterprise after World War II, operating within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After Montenegro gained independence in 2006, the company continued its strategic role. The privatization process in the early 2000s saw it become a joint-stock company, with a mix of state and private ownership.
During the 1990s sanctions against Yugoslavia, the fleet was largely immobilized. However, after sanctions were lifted, the company rebuilt its fleet and commercial presence, focusing on international charter markets.
