The roots of Crnogorska Plovidba trace back to the mid-20th century. Founded in 1945 in the town of Bar, the company was initially a branch of the larger Yugoslav shipping conglomerate, Jugoslavenska Linijska Plovidba (Jugolinija). However, as Montenegro’s coastal potential grew, the need for a dedicated local fleet became apparent.

In 1955, Crnogorska Plovidba was officially registered as an independent enterprise. The post-war period was a golden age. The company acquired a fleet of cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers, connecting the port of Bar with Northern Europe, Africa, and the Americas. During the 1970s and 1980s, it employed thousands of Montenegrin sailors, who became the "pride of the family" in coastal towns like Herceg Novi, Tivat, and Ulcinj.

Thanks to the strategic location of Montenegro’s Port of Bar (the only natural port on the Montenegrin coast suitable for large bulkers), Crnogorska Plovidba focuses on:

Crnogorska Plovidba AD (Montenegrin: Crnogorska plovidba – literally “Montenegrin Shipping”) is the leading dry bulk carrier shipping company in Montenegro. Headquartered in the coastal city of Bar, the company has been a cornerstone of the country’s maritime industry for decades.

Unlike the massive fleets of Greek or Japanese giants, Crnogorska Plovidba operates a lean, modern fleet. Their strategy is "quality over quantity." Their vessels typically fall into the Handysize and Supramax categories (vessels carrying between 25,000 and 60,000 deadweight tons – DWT).
