Which ports are important to Albania’s fishing industry?

Albania’s fishing industry relies on several key ports located along its coastline. The primary fishing ports in the country are:

• Durrës: This is the country's largest and most important fishing port. It also serves as Albania's primary seaport and a major hub for the import of foodstuffs.12
• Sarandë1
• Vlorë1
• Shëngjin1

While Albania possesses significant potential for its fishing industry due to its access to the Adriatic and Ionian seas, the sector remains underdeveloped. This is largely attributed to the use of antiquated equipment and a shortage of professional fishermen. In addition to these coastal ports, port facilities have also been established on the country's inland lakes to support fishing activities.1
