I'm currently in Bar, Montenegro heading south towards Corfu. The advertised fuel station in the marina is closed and there's no tanker service. I have more than enough fuel to get to Durres where I planned to check-in to Albania but they've no fuel station there and getting tanker delivery sounds complicated and expensive - apparently you have to pay for the fire brigade to be on standby during fueling plus they charge for the tanker.
So my question. Does anyone know other ports south of Bar in either Montenegro or Albania with an actual fuel station or a normal tanker service?

Probably doesn't help, but at least there's a phone number, which might be useful?
Thanks. I think that relates to the fuel station in the marina where I am but it's closed - a new company taking over but it won't open for another 20 days. I checked with the agent here and there's no tanker delivery facility.Screenshot_20240427_131716_Chrome.jpg

Getting fuel in Albania is a pain; I couldn't find any for love or money, I ended up running out in Himare and paying a kid on a scooter €50 to fill up some jerry cans from the local service station...I was relieved he actually came back.

I eventually filled up in Orikum marina near Vlore on my way south. I called a day before and they ordered it by truck. It was €1.92 per litre and I'm certain the clock on the truck was reading as much as 10% over what I actually got.
