The Harbor in Drac is located in the central part of the Albanian coast, 33 kilometers from the capital of Albania, Tirana, i.e. 160 kilo-
meters to Macedonian Albanian border with road and railway connection. On the Albanian coast, of around 200 sea miles lengthwise there
are five harbors, two of which are the largest – Drac and Valona. According to the distance from the distributive centers in the Republic of
Macedonia (only three hours drive to Kafasan), this is the second closest harbor beside the harbor in Thessaloniki, due to which the analy-
sis for its use deserves special attention. The geographic location makes it exclusively strategic important harbor which directly connects
three seas – the Ionian Sea, Adriatic Sea and is indirectly connected with all Mediterranean countries.
- Harbor`s capacity is around 3.8 million tons of good annually and during one calendar year, there is a flow of around three million
tons of goods, 770.000 passengers, 233.000 cars and around 40.000 trucks. The harbor has three lines with Italy (Trst, Ankona, and Bari)
and a new line to Brindizi will be opened soon. New passenger terminal has been opened recently, in a value of 15.2 million euros. Drac is
a final city at the west part of the Corridor 8. Therefore the businessmen emphasized that the road and the railway infrastructure has to be
further developed and urged the authorities to speed up the process. Projects of around 50 million euros are in a phase of realization –
emphasized the director of the harbor Eduard Ndrey.
