Albania
Water Transportation
Albania's main seaports are Durrės, Vlorė, Sarandė, and Shėngjin.
By 1983 there was regular ferry, freight, and passenger service
from Durrės to Trieste, Italy. In 1988 ferry service was established
between Sarandė and the Greek island of Corfu. A regular lake
ferry linked the Macedonian town of Ohrid with Pogradec. The estimated
total displacement of Albania's merchant fleet was 56,000 tons
in 1986. The limited capacity of the wharves at Durrės caused
severe bottlenecks in the distribution of foreign food aid in
1991.
