Port of Vlores, Maritime port in Vlorë County, Albania
The Port of Vlores is a maritime facility along Albania's coast with three separate operational areas. The complex includes a dry cargo sector, an oil terminal known as Vlore-1, and a dedicated fishing dock.
The port developed over several decades into a major trading hub for Albania. It grew to become the nation's second-largest maritime facility and continues to shape the country's commercial activities.
The port integrates with the Lungomare Master Plan, connecting maritime commerce to local developments through new coastal infrastructure and transportation networks.
The port has three parts: a dry cargo port, the Vlorë 1 petroleum port and a fishing harbour at Skel. The fishing harbour is to take the relocated passenger terminal and cargo area while the Vlora Marina is built on the current passenger terminal grounds, a 2021 concession won by a UK-Albania joint venture.
The fishing harbour lies at Skel, near Vlorë, and is set to take over the passenger terminal and cargo area while the Vlora Marina is built on the old terminal grounds. A UK-Albanian joint venture won the marina concession in 2021.
