The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) will install a children’s playground on the cruise ship quay in the port of Maó. It will be enclosed by fences and will have a safety floor. It will have a marine theme, including a Santa Maria ship, whale and fish shaped piers, a fortress tower and four activity panels.

It is aimed at encouraging port-city interaction through social activities for all, at the same time as being compatible with port activity, both for local residents and port users.

Architectural barriers

The work also includes the elimination of architectural barriers on pavements. Therefore, the pavements around the APB buildings in Maó will be remodelled in order to eliminate an existing step that extends the entire length of their central axis, in Moll de Ponent and Moll de Llevant streets.

This is in line with the APB’s CSR policy, which includes the progressive elimination of architectural barriers to make them a safe place to suit the abilities of all users of the port’s infrastructures.

The tender budget amounts to 464,380 euros. The work will last 3 months. The deadline for receiving bids is 6 April 2022. Interested parties may submit their applications through the APB e-Tendering Portal.
