* Total: 43&nbsp;km plus Albanian sections of [[Lake Scutari]], [[Ohër Lake]], and [[Prespa Lake|Big Prespa Lake]] (1990)

Albania's main seaports are [[Durrës]], [[Vlorë]], [[Sarandë]], and [[Shëngjin]]. By 1983 there were regular ferry, freight, and passenger services from Durrës to [[Trieste]], [[Italy]].[[File:Panorama of Durres Port.jpg|thumb|310px|The advantageous location of [[Durrës]] makes it the biggest port in Albania and among the largest in the [[Adriatic Sea|Adriatic]] and [[Ionian Sea|Ionian]] seas.]] In 1988, a ferry service was established between Sarandë and the Greek island of [[Corfu]]. A regular lake ferry linked the [[North Macedonia|Macedonian]] town of [[Ohrid]] with [[Pogradec]]. The limited capacity of the wharves at Durrës caused severe bottlenecks in the distribution of foreign food aid in 1991. In 2011, the [[Port of Durrës]] underwent major renovations including the construction of a new passenger terminal. The port is expected to be relocated nearby, and a new luxury yachts marina constructed by Dubai based Emaar company called Durres Yachts and Marina.
