Diversification of coal transport and unloading
methods, as well as intensifying cooperation, were key topics of discussion by Dušan
Živković, General Manager of “Elektroprivreda Srbije” with Ilija
Pješčić, Executive Director of “Port of Bar”. At a meeting with the management
of the Port of Bar, it was emphasized that imported coal from Indonesia is
transported via the Romanian port of Constanta, but that in times of poor
hydrological conditions, the low water level of the Danube is a particular
challenge.
- In order to ensure the continuity of coal deliveries
to the TENT stockyards and to ensure that the security of energy supply is not
jeopardized in any segment, we have recognized the possibility of unloading
coal in the port of Bar. This is a good opportunity to start cooperation with
the company “Port of Bar”, and we have especially considered the port's
capacities for receiving and storing coal, as well as the necessary logistics
and dynamics. – emphasized Živković.
According to the management of the Port of Bar, the
first ship from Indonesia is expected to arrive at the port in early September.
It was agreed at the meeting that the transport of coal from the Port of Bar to
TENT will be carried out by rail in cooperation with the Serbian partner
“Srbija Kargo” and the Montenegrin JSC “Montecargo Podgorica”.
