Biography - Milović Ilija

I was born in Tivat on 2nd  August 1952. I  finished Elementary school in Tivat and after that  Maritime School in Kotor in 1971.  I graduated from the High Maritime School in January 1975.

In 1979 I had an offer to work at Maritime School in Kotor as a teacher and I gladly accepted. During the summer vacations, I used to join the ships in order to stay active and keep a step with the practical part of my vocation.  I was sailing on different types of the  ship depending on the offered opportunity.

In 1979 I entered  Maritime Faculty in Rijeka and graduated in 1985 obtaining the title “Master of Science Engineer of Maritime Transport of Nautical Orientation”   ( Abb: MSc Eng  MT Naut).

I also worked as the examiner at  Harbor Master's Office in Kotor for candidates obtaining Master and Deck Officer Licenses.

I had worked in the Maritime School Kotor until 1994  when I quit further teaching and devoted myself solely to the shipping. Occasionally, when I was on vacation, I was still part of exam committee at Harbor Office in Kotor. After a few years I had to quit that too, due to my unpredictable stay on board the ship. 

I was sailing on several different companies and different ship’s types.

The last ten years, before my retirement on October 2013, I sailed exclusively on container ships, and since then I have been retired.
