The fishing port of Vlorë or Vlora Fishing Harbor (Albanian: Porti i peshkatimit Vlorës) is located in the city of Skel, near Vlorë.[5] This will serve as the new location of the relocated Port of Vlore passenger terminal and cargo area while the Vlora Marina is being constructed.
In 2021, a UK-Albania joint venture company won a concession tender for the construction of the Vlora Marina on the grounds of the current passenger terminal area of Port of Vlore. The luxury marina project comprises docking areas for yachts, residential and hotel complex towers, and commercial areas such as bars and restaurants.[6]
