In Montenegro’s current wave of industrial and energy development — from wind farms and substations to logistics hubs, factories, and high-voltage facilities — the decisive force shaping project viability is no longer just engineering, cost, or permitting. It is ESG compliance: Environmental, Social, and Governance requirements that now sit at the centre of financing, construction...
In industrial construction, money doesn’t move on promises. It moves on proof. Banks demand it to disburse; insurers demand it to underwrite and pay claims. The Owner’s Engineer (OE) sits in the middle, converting site reality into evidence of compliance and quality that satisfies both. Why banks and insurers care about the OE Translation: Better engineering discipline ↓ underwriting uncertainty...
In industrial construction today, an ESG non-conformity can hold a loan tranche as effectively as a failed transformer test. Lenders and investors now expect the Owner’s Engineer (OE) to treat environmental, social, and governance risks with the same rigor as design and quality—because the financial consequences are real and immediate. Why ESG non-conformities matter to...
You don’t need tariff magic to make the Adriatic hub work. Montenegro’s edge is operational—bonded warehousing at the Port of Bar, NCTS transit straight into the EU, CEFTA reach across the Western Balkans, euro pricing that kills FX noise, and a lean 9–15% corporate tax. For the right product families, speed and cashflow beat small duty...
At the Port of Bar, companies can store and process goods in a Free Zone—deferring duty/VAT while they relabel, kit, test, or configure products before re-export. The port operator confirms Bar’s Free Zone status and long history of bonded operations; international logistics firms advertise the same advantage to clients using Bar as a short-sea gateway to Central Europe. From 1...
In today’s infrastructure landscape — from wind farms and substations to highways, bridges, and industrial plants — quality is not a box to tick, but the foundation of long-term performance and safety.The success of any engineering project rests on one core question: Was it built according to design, standard, and intent? That assurance is the mandate of the Owner’s Engineer...
Lenders, banks and investment funds involved in financing large-scale energy and industrial projects, such as wind parks and renewable energy developments, can greatly benefit from the expertise of an Owner’s Engineer (OE). Acting as an independent technical advisor, the Owner’s Engineer represents the interests of project developers and financiers, ensuring adherence to high-quality standards throughout...
