Ocean Network Express (Europe) Ltd. has appointed Centralog Albania Sh.P.K. as its official agency in Albania, marking a significant step in strengthening its presence in the Adriatic and supporting growing demand across the Balkans region.
Centralog Albania Sh.P.K. is a newly established joint-venture company formed specifically to represent ONE in Albania. The venture brings together the strengths of Centralog, ONE’s existing and trusted agent in Koper, Slovenia with deep familiarity of ONE’s systems, culture and operational standards, and Shega Trans, one of Albania’s leading logistics providers with more than two decades of experience in freight forwarding, shipping agency representation, customs brokerage, warehousing, distribution, container depot services and inland transport through its own truck fleet.
By combining Centralog’s operational expertise with Shega Trans’s robust local infrastructure, the newly appointed agency is positioned to ensure a seamless service launch and deliver responsive customer support as ONE increases its regional footprint.
ONE’s new office in Durres (Fly Tower, Egnatia Street) is currently being finalised and is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of December 2025. The commercial launch has already begun, with ONE taking bookings from Asia since the 1st December. Consignments will be routed through ONE’s established regional transhipment hub in Piraeus, providing Albanian customers with seamless connectivity to ONE’s global network.
Takahiro Kikuchi, Managing Director, Ocean Network Express (Europe) Ltd., said: “Albania is an increasingly important market within the Adriatic and the appointment and establishment of Centralog Albania Sh.P.K. strengthens our commitment to customers in the region. This partnership combines established ONE expertise with strong local capabilities, enabling us to deliver reliable and efficient services to support Albania’s growing trade flows.”
Representing the new agency, Ervin Shijaku, Director, Centralog Albania Sh.P.K., added: “We are honoured to be appointed as ONE’s agency in Albania. Centralog’s long-standing relationship with ONE, combined with Shega Trans’s extensive logistics infrastructure, provides a solid platform to deliver high-quality and responsive solutions for ONE’s customers from day one.”
