Grant Description
On April 30 and May 22, 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Albania signed letters of exchange related to a Container Inspection Equipment Project.
China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) was the source of grant funding, but the monetary value of its grant commitment is unknown. This project involved the acquisition and installation of container inspection equipment at the Port of Durrës.
The contractor responsible for the provision and installation of this customs scanning equipment was Nuctech Company Limited. It signed an equipment supply contract with the General Customs Administration of Albania on December 4, 2007.
Then, on April 15, 2008, the equipment was officially handed over to Durrës port authorities in the presence of Prime Minister Sali Berisha.
However, the equipment reportedly only worked for 200 hours before it broke down and required repairs by Nuctech Company Limited. The equipment was “out of use” between 2012 and early 2015 (when Nuctech Company Limited finally made repairs).
