The company Regionalni Vodovod could start exporting bottled drinking water from the source of Boljesestra.

According to the company's proposals, if a factory were to be built at the source, bottled water would be exported through the Port of Bar.

"The second variant refers to the export of water by ship via the platform at the location of Cape Krčevac in Sutomor, tankers with a capacity of up to 300.000 cubic meters. The third possibility is ship export through the Port of Bar by tankers with a maximum capacity of up to 80.000 cubic meters", the company plans.

It is clarified that the source of Boljesestra has the potential to "capture a considerable amount of water for bottling purposes, without jeopardizing the regular water supply of the Montenegrin coast".

Potential investors would have at their disposal practically unlimited capacity in terms of first-class water bottling, maintenance and monitoring of springs and sanitary protection zones, storage space of 850 square meters, location of the future factory six kilometers from the main road connecting Podgorica and Bar.

In order to realize the ship's export of water via the platform, it is necessary to build about 2,5 kilometers of a new pipeline on the section Sutomore - Cape Krčevac and one kilometer of pipeline in the sea and a platform for docking with a capacity of up to 300.000 cubic meters.

When it comes to shipping water export through the Port of Bar, it is necessary to build 1,9 km of a new pipeline on the stretch from the main road Bar - Ulcinj to the entrance to the Port of Bar, as well as an additional pipeline within the port water area to the location intended for mooring, where tanked water.

RV believes that this variant would provide chlorinated water for ship transport from the southern arm of the RV system.

"In this way, up to 100 liters per second could be transported during July and August, depending on water needs... and up to 400 liters per second during the remaining 10 months of the year...".
