Port Albania

Created by an Italian company in 2003, this marina (Marina e Orikumit) is the most important in Albania. While waiting to be dethroned by the marina of Vlora (opening planned for 2024-2025), it can accommodate about fifty boats up to 30 m in length. Accessible through a narrow channel with a draft of 2.30 m, the marina has a good reputation among boaters (especially Italian). There are no shops on site, but a tourist complex located next door includes a hotel, a bar and a small supermarket.

This port (Porti i Durrësit) is the first in Albania for goods and passengers. Used by the Illyrians and Greeks as early as the 7th century B.C., it now has 80 hectares of facilities to accommodate all types of ships, including ferries to Bari and Ancona in Italy. Managed by the Port Authority of Durrës and the Finnish company Cargotec, it handles about 4 million tons of goods, 150,000 containers and 800,000 passengers every year. Entrances 2 and 4 are reserved for vehicles and entrance 3 for pedestrians.
