Durrës port is the main connecting port of Albania by sea with the world. The need for closer coordination and information (on-line access) is of paramount importance in almost all modern industries, especially in the transport and logistics industries. As a condition for increasing the efficiency in maritime transport and the approach of the port of Durres as a logistics center is the improvement of the standards communication and information. During the last 10 years, in the port of Durres investments have been made in this field. Information and communication systems ICT for the automation of operations as well as control and security in the port, in accordance with the ISPS security code, are LAN / WAN network infrastructure, wireless as well as security system and entry-exit protection, "e-Transit & e-Boarding" systems, automatic control and weighing system (WIM-weight in motion), management system ESRI - GIS editor and web GIS View for consulting GIS information on APD, JDE-Oracle Edwards Enterprise One financial administration, electronic invoicing and inventory system, maintenance and warehouse management system (Main Saver), parking management system, multimedia electronic information board system, system for real-time monitoring of the position of ships in the rada (sea shore) and aquarium (KRIO). The Harbor Master of Durres uses VHF satellite radio, AIS equipment, AIS INLINE, NAVTEX and official e-mail with positions. The constant increase in maritime traffic also increases maritime safety risks. Due to ongoing warnings related to passengers, illicit drug trafficking, terrorism and other criminal acts, the issue of security is a key priority for ports and ships, along with safety and prevention of marine pollution. The port of Durres has adopted modern technology and information systems. All of these systems need to be interconnected into a single e-platform platform dedicated to logistics process management and its benefits such as developing an accurate and up-to-date port organization infrastructure to support reorganization of ports, their role and impact for a green, sustainable and safe solution for Albanian ports, which elaborates the analysis between the ports for the development of a common market of the northern Adriatic.
