Port of Durrës handles 10 cargo vessels at start of week

TIRANA, May 5 – The start of the week has brought high operational activity at the Port of Durrës. The port has scheduled 10 cargo vessels for handling, mainly carrying raw materials for the construction sector.

According to the Port Authority of Durrës, six vessels are currently under processing. Two ships carry around 5,050 tons of glass. Three vessels transport about 6,650 tons of cement.
