The APB opens two new slip lanes to the West dock

The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has opened two new slip lanes to the West dock for vehicles heading for the ferries. The aim is to optimise the control of incoming vehicles to this part of the Port of Palma.

With the current replanning, the West dock now has three slip lanes. The existing lane is for incoming taxis, shuttle buses, and employees. The second lane is for access by trucks boarding the ferries. The third lane, which runs behind the Nàuticopesquera Vocational Training Centre, is exclusively for cars and motorcycles.

The two new slip lanes are operational from 8.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m., Monday to Friday. The aim is to clear traffic at the entrance to the West dock during the peak times at the port, when vehicles board regular line ships.

The APB has also built a small roundabout after access control to improve traffic. The different routes to follow have also been marked in different colours to guide vehicles according to the location of their ferry.

The APB replaces the floating pier of the fishing quay in the port of Ibiza

The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has completed the work to replace the floating pier of the fishing quay in the port of Ibiza, used to moor the vessels of the Fishermen’s Guild and for use by the APB.

The work consisted of renewing the original pier, which dated back to 1993 and had come to the end of its working life. Four prefabricated reinforced concrete floating pier modules measuring 2.4 m wide and 12m long with an expanded polystyrene core and wooden fenders were installed for this purposes. The existing wiring was also entirely replaced, and new water and electricity utility towers have been installed on the piers.

One side of the pier will be used by the Fishermen’s Guild to moor their fishing vessels. The other half will be used for moorings directly managed and used by the APB.

The work has taken four months and was awarded to the company Sealand on Offshore Services SL. The budget for the work amounted to 378,000 euros plus VAT.

The APB hands over a donation cheque to ADDIF to mark the Es Port. 360 Experiences event on International Yoga Day

The Balearic Port Authority (APB) and the Rotary eClub Eivissa International yesterday handed over the donation cheque to ADDIF (Adapted Sports Association of Eivissa and Formentera). A cheque for €3,568.17 was handed over at the Ebusus Cultural Society during the Es Port. 360 Experiences event, held on 21 June in es Martell square.

The APB delegate for the ports of Eivissa and La Savina, Ignacio Revilla, said that " it gives the APB great satisfaction to be able to present this cheque to ADDIF, so that they can continue with their admirable daily work to include people with functional diversity". Revilla hoped that the charity event last June, "will be the first of many more charitable initiatives as part of our aim regarding corporate social responsibility, to facilitate this type of activity and to help integrate the port into the city".

Among those present at the event were the Mayor of Eivissa, Rafael Triguero; the Councillor for Social Welfare, Carlona Escandell; the President of ADDIF, Myriam Martín; the President of Rotary e-Club Ibiza International, Denise Klischan, as well as representatives of the collaborating associations and sponsors who took part in the event.

AIS accessibility certificate

The APB was also recognised for promoting the first national event with AIS (Accessibility Indicator System) accessibility certification from FARS (Accessibility and Social Responsibility Foundation). A large group of young people from ADDIF also took part in the event and enjoyed this unique experience.

AIS (Accessibility Indicator System) is the only international accessibility certification. This certification was based on criteria of functional diversity, whether physical, sensory or cognitive, so that anyone, regardless of their condition, could move around the event comfortably and safely.
