Durres : Profile

Clearance

Call Port Control on channel 15 or 16, who will direct the boat to an area of the commercial harbour. Protection is very good but strong southerly winds may cause a surge to the inner basin.

The port captain may insist that a shipping agent is used to deal with formalities. It is recommended to contact the agent in advance.

Fees Aug 06 for 13.6m LOA yacht – Eur 80 inc 2 nights alongside.

Speaks excellent English. Phone or email in advance to arrange a berth and prepare for clearance.

Docking

The walls here are high and are protected by very large tyres, so be prepared.

The agent can also arrange for diesel fuel and water from a truck as well services to travel inland and security for the yacht. Contact him in advance to arrange docking space in the port as there is no designated area for yachts and no facilities of any sort for yachts.

The port is a short walk to the town where there are mini-markets, vegetable/produce stalls and shops for most requirements.
