GALA is responsible for provided services for the vessels, as well as organising Customs procedures and supporting the companies involved in the discharge and storage of the pipes.
The project will see around 130,000 tonnes of pipers discharged at the East Terminal in Durres. GALA's sister company and operator of the terminal, EMS Albanian Port Operator (EMS APO), will be responsible for unloading the cargo.
