After "Vijesti" wrote last Sunday about the catastrophic condition in which the destroyed temporary facility of the so-called Tivat Airport's water terminal in Kukoljina is located, JP Morsko Dobro, which built and manages that facility, reacted and removed the overturned and damaged ticket office house and the collapsed large wooden pergola at the terminal.
In the press release they published on their website, they called this procedure "rehabilitation of the location of the seasonal pier and mooring Mrčevac-Kukoljina".
"The Public Enterprise for the Management of the Maritime Assets of Montenegro is the manager of the location of the seasonal pier and mooring Mrčevac - Kukoljina for the needs of the Tivat airport, location code 10 (firmly built pier) in the Program of Coastal Infrastructure Facilities. Namely, at the end of September, the said area was affected by bad weather , in the form of hurricane-force winds, in the form of a 'leech', causing significant material damage to several locations in the Municipality of Tivat, so we are not the only case. The equipment has withstood all weather conditions for the past year and a half, but the 'leech' something that is at the level of a natural disaster. The public company went to the field and in a short period of time, removed the damage on the site, by arranging the space, storing the equipment in the warehouse area where the wooden elements will be cleaned and varnished in order to prepare for the next tourist season", it was announced from that state-owned company.
They did not explain why it took them more than a month from the damage and devastation of the building to go out on the field and "rehabilitate" it, and only after the media wrote about this problem.
Morsko dobro spent over 2022 euros on the construction and equipping of this facility, before the peak summer season of 30.000, in addition to its own Plan for the use of JPMD funds for that year. Acting on the basis of the government's conclusion from May last year, Morsko dobro built a temporary water terminal facility at the Blato location, just a few tens of meters from the threshold of runway 14 of the Tivat airport, but outside the airport complex fence, in order to supposedly reduce the problems that passengers from the Tivat airport have during the road transfer from that airport to the final destinations to which they travel, and due to the catastrophically congested Adriatic highway through Tivat in the summer.
The building was built outside of what is prescribed for that location by the official Program of Temporary Buildings in the Maritime Property Zone for the period 2019-2023. year, as well as without the obtained urban planning and technical conditions from the Secretariat for Spatial Planning of the Municipality of Tivat, i.e. from the departmental Ministry of Ecology, Spatial Planning and Urbanism, considering that the location is covered by the current State Study of the location "Tivat Airport". In addition, that facility was built without a foothold in the then valid JPMD Fund Utilization Plan for 2022. JPMD, despite all of this, in the end, at the Blato location, concreting the plateau that leads to the previously built concrete wall, built a ticket office and a small sanitary facility , as well as arranged and asphalted a large plateau for parking vehicles, and installed electric power infrastructure, lighting and horticulturally arranged the entire area by planting various plants and trees.
All this was done without the formal approval of the Civil Aviation Agency of Montenegro, even though the temporary water terminal facility is located in a very sensitive area for flight safety at Tivat airport, the approach planes for landing planes on runway 14, i.e. the departure planes for taking off from runway 32 , and with some of its parts it "breaks through" the maximum height of buildings that are only allowed to be there even temporarily.
The "temporary water terminal" facility was built in the so-called jet blast zone, i.e. a zone dangerous for the retention of people and vehicles due to the impact of the jet engine exhaust of airplanes taking off from runway 14, which is clearly indicated by the warning sign that JP Morsko hastily removed after media reported that the so-called terminal building was built in a dangerous zone.
Despite the optimism of the head of the former government and the management of Morski Dobr that the improvised water terminal will do a miracle to reduce road congestion from the Tvat airport to the hotels in Bokele, the facility that was built by JPMD last year, according to "Vijesti"'s unofficial information, served a total of only a few dozen passengers.
