The competition for the construction of the new port in Porto Romano has been opened. 15 international companies have expressed interest in the construction of the new port.

Also present is Prime Minister Edi Rama, who said that the relocation of the commercial port to the suburbs solves an environmental problem, but damages the image of the city of Durrës. 

" Our past is the same as the port of Durrës in the center of the city. An environmental wound, a physical wound that has continuously done great damage to the perspective and image, but also a wound in the socio-economic aspect, that all that mess and chaos has been a dark area of ​​illegal and criminal activities. The removal of the commercial port from the center of the city and its placement here, entirely with a typology, with new characteristics and dimensions, is the opening of a new chapter in the history of the city, but also in the history of our national economy ", said Rama.

Rama said that there is expected to be a NATO military base in this port. 

It will only be a port that will impact GDP, but it will also impact our security, as the design group has foreseen, it will also have its own military wing, offering NATO a new military base with optimal parameters. This port, which is being built from scratch, is a new port in Europe after many decades.

The construction of the new commercial port of Porto Romano is expected to be completed within 2026. The total cost of this project, which will be financed with budget funds according to the draft budget of 2024, will be 43 billion lek or about 427 million euros. The commercial port is being moved to Porto Romano, because the tourist port will be built in Durrës.

With the procuring authority, the Port Authority of Durres, the tendering procedure opens today and closes on September 16, while the duration of the contract is estimated at 40 months.
