At the Adriatic 42 company, extensive preparations are underway in order to launch the first phase of the unique Mega Yacht Repair & Maintenance facility by the end of the year.
The employees of the company, with the support of the consortium Adriatic Marinas - Porto Montenegro and DryDocks World Dubai, make a significant contribution to start the servicing and overhaul of the first yachts in Bijela.
At the moment, over 20 people from Montenegro are employed on the project, and that number is constantly increasing as the business develops.
What it's like to be part of the Adriatic 42 team is best described by the employees. For them, shipbuilding is much more than a career, it is a matter of tradition. For Siniša Todorović it is a matter of family inheritance.
His grandfather, father and mother worked in various jobs in the shipyard and received their pensions there.
He has now continued on their path and works as an operator on a floating dock. With a smile, he fondly remembers his childhood and the reasons why he entered the Maritime Faculty.
"I grew up next to the shipyard, watching the ships coming for overhaul and thinking about the distant oceans and seas they sailed. "Every siren of the ship, which leaves the shipyard satisfied, was an experience for the locals of Bijela," recalls Todorović.
Now, through his work at Adriatic 42, he is an important part of the future development of the overhaul of the world's largest yachts.
"The work I perform includes all operations of raising and lowering the floating dock, as well as maintaining the technical correctness of the equipment and devices on the dock," he explains and adds that the story of the Adriatic 42 has only just begun.
"I enjoy my job, and I consider it, at this moment, very promising," concludes Todorović.

This entailed a number of responsibilities, such as planning meetings, participating in tenders, communicating with subcontractors and much more. Now I look at that part of my career path as a unique opportunity in which I gradually progressed. Now I am in charge of procurement and in that I see an additional opportunity for growth and advancement in my career," says Kusturica.
