Based in Tivat, Montenegro, UNA d.o.o. operates as a cornerstone of the nation's maritime and nautical infrastructure. Established in 1988, the company began as a modest family-owned enterprise before undergoing a strategic transformation in the mid-1990s to focus exclusively on the marine sector. Over the decades, it has evolved from a local supplier into a comprehensive maritime logistics and service provider, supporting the rapid development of the Adriatic coast as a premier destination for commercial shipping and luxury yachting.
The company’s operations are deeply rooted in the region's nautical traditions. While it maintains a modern retail presence through its network of "Sipa" centers located in key coastal hubs such as Kotor, Budva, Bar, and Herceg Novi, UNA d.o.o. also preserves local heritage through its own manufacturing division. This segment produces specialized ropes, fishing nets, and cordage, bridging the gap between traditional maritime craftsmanship and contemporary demand. To support the increasing volume of vessel traffic, the company established a large-scale Marine Center in Radanovići, which functions as a centralized logistics and distribution hub for thousands of nautical products, ranging from navigation electronics to deck hardware.
A critical pillar of the company’s identity is its dedicated "Safety and Service" division, which plays a vital role in ensuring maritime safety within Montenegrin waters. This division operates as a certified service station authorized to inspect, repair, and recertify essential life-saving appliances. Its technical capabilities cover the maintenance of inflatable life rafts, rescue boats, and fire-fighting systems in compliance with rigorous international standards, including SOLAS regulations and classification society requirements.
By integrating retail distribution, local manufacturing, and certified safety services, UNA d.o.o. serves a diverse clientele that includes small artisanal fishermen, marina operators, and mega-yachts. The company’s ability to adapt to the changing needs of the maritime market—expanding from fishing supplies to high-end yacht support—has solidified its status as a primary operational partner for vessels navigating the southern Adriatic. Today, it stands as a key enabler of Montenegro’s maritime economy, providing the technical reliability and supply chain stability required by an increasingly sophisticated marine industry.
