Unanswered questions about the port of Durrës

The government insists that the project of the tourist port of Durrës is the biggest work, which will give Albania another development and turn it into a reference point for tourism in the Mediterranean.

However, there are some big questions, the answers to which have either been half-hearted on the part of the Government representatives, or unanswered, or unconvincing.

The first question, why all this rush for such a major project, which gives away 818 thousand square meters of public property in such a coveted area on the coast? Edi Rama and Belinda Balluku answered that "there is no time to waste".

The answer is not convincing, firstly due to the fact that the discussions started more than a year ago. Which means the wait has been relatively long. Why not wait another 2 months for the law to be passed by normal procedure, in consultations with the public and discussed in the Assembly?

The next question is related to the project. According to the business plan, the company will build buildings and residences in the first phase. So the port will not be affected. Does the company run the risk of building on a vacant plot of land and then walking away, leaving the project halfway through? This question has not been answered.

The third question is related to the capacities of the tourist port. According to the project, 240 yachts will be moored there. This does not even make it the largest in the Mediterranean, let alone in the region. The capacities of Montenegro exceed it several times. So, how will this port attract elite tourism? This question has not been answered either.

In the business plan, the company says it will invest 160 million euros in the first phase. Other revenues that exceed 700 million euros will be provided by the sale of apartments. As 60 percent of it is registered in tax havens, is it at risk of being used for money laundering? This question has also remained unanswered.

The fourth question concerns the concern that the government's projects risk removing Albania from the maritime transport map. Simultaneously, the implementation of two projects were announced, the one for the relocation of the Port of Vlora and the construction of a tourist port and residential building and the port of Durrës.

The relocation takes place without first completing the new cargo ports, namely Triport in the case of Vlora and Porto Romano in the case of Durrës. Is there a study by the Ministry of Infrastructure on the effects of these projects on the maritime transport regime of goods and people, especially for Durrës, which is the main gateway for Albania, Kosovo, but also North Macedonia? Even this question has not received an exhaustive answer.

Pyetja e radhës ka të bëjë me kompaninë ndërtuese. Pse 60 për qind e pronarëve të saj janë të regjistruar në parajsa fiskale dhe me një zinxhir transaksionesh aksionesh e ndryshimi kompanish ende pa nisur puna? As kjo nuk ka përgjigje.

Parajsat fiskale njihen për lehtësinë e ndryshimit të aksionerëve dhe të fshehjes së pronarëve fundorë të kompanive. A ekziston mundësia që pas Portit të Durrësit të qëndrojnë politikanë, apo biznesmenë shqiptarë? Kjo është pyetja e gjashtë. Qeveria i përgjigjet kësaj pyetjeje duke deklaruar se pas investimit është Alabar me Emaar Group, ndërsa nga opozita thonë se është direkt Edi Rama.
