Lake Koman Ferry (Albanian: Trageti i Komanit) is a passenger ferry service operated by several local companies along the Koman Reservoir (also known as Koman Lake) in Northern Albania.
Following the construction of the dam and inundation of the area, a ferry service was established to serve the local population. Since the 2000s, the area has become a growing tourist destination. As a result, the old car ferry ship Dardania underwent a complete makeover and began regular trips in May 2015 with the new name Alpin Ferry. Between June 2012 and April 2014, the Jezerca X car ferry was no longer running. The new A1 highway connecting the Albanian coast with Kukes and Kosovo made it redundant and allowed for the Dardania ship makeover. Presently, several private companies offer custom tours packages with acceptable vessels.
Also, there is the Dragobia Boat (the cabin of which was converted from a bus), which has been operating in the lake since 1994. Now they also have the Berisha Ferry, which can carry up to 5 cars.

Scheduleedit
In May 2015, the revamped car ferry ship was re-introduced with daily service on a new timetable. The journey takes two hours. Other ferry services such as Berisha have an inverted schedule. There are schedule changes in the winter season to accommodate lower ridership.
Transportationedit
Furgons (minibuses) serve the area and are usually located at the ferry docking stations. Furgons depart from Shkoder in the morning.
