Based on my research, which lasted a few years, I was able to put this data together (on the reception capacity of Albanian ports during the Greek campaign):
Material start-up from Italy (monthly in round figures)
- normal supplies - 95,720 tons
- various-2,270 tons
- completion G.U.-683 tons
- live by civilian population - 6,000 tons
-genius materials -6,000 tons (including deck equipment)
- Supplies for Aeronautics and Marina - 7000 tons
- building name-6000 tons
Port capacity (daily in round numbers)
San Giovanni di Medua
-300 tons at the Intendancy Service
-100 tons to civilians
-200 tons to the genius
Durazzo
- 2000 tons at the Intendancy Service
-300 tons vehicles and quadrupeds
-200 tons Regia Aeronautica
-100 tons genius materials
-100 tons to civilians
Valona
-800 tons all at the Intendancy Service
To be able to reach the foreseen discharge capacity independently of the permanent provisions (construction of piers) the number of boats destined for unloading and transport was increased as follows:
- Port of Durazzo
20 boats and more precisely
-5 Maone of the river type from Venice
-5 Maone from Brindisi
-3 Maone from Genoa (transported by steamer)
-8 Maone civilians hired
Valona bay
-4 motor tankers
-10 Maone of the Regia Marina
-20 motovelieri
-16 Private hired charters
and also for all three ports (in total)
-2 tugs
-2 Maone of the Regia Marina
-5 Maone rented
- Brundusium superhull (for tug use)
-3 motovelieri (San Giovanni di Medua)
In Albanian ports they could be placed under discharge at the same time:
San Giovanni di Medua
-1 steamship of around 1000 tons
-2 small steamships (300-350 tons each)
-5 motovelieri
Durazzo
-6-8 steamers for vehicles and food
-3-4 troops for the troop
-1 steamer for forage and various materials

-3 motovelieri
Valona
-2 small steamers
- 4 steamers for troops or quadrupeds
-1 steamer for fuels
-1 forage steamer
-1 steamer for food

For Italy-Albania traffic, the following vessels were used:
For transporting personnel
-21 steamships for a total of 17,000 transport seats
For quadrupeds transport
-9 steamships for a total of 5500 transport seats
For transporting vehicles
-10 steamers for a total transport capacity of 1000 medium-sized vehicles
For transporting foodstuffs
-10 steamers
For transporting oats and fodder
-10 steamers and 12 motovelieri
