The period has been open for lodging statements and observations regarding the delimitation of port spaces and uses proposal of Alcudia’s Port, approved by the Board of Directors of the Balearic Islands’ Port Authority (APB) last 3d of February.

The time limit for lodging statements is 45 days from the following day of the publication of the corresponding BOE (24th of February 2016).
The proposals of delimitation of port spaces and uses are tools set out in Article 69 of the Consolidated Version of the Law of State Ports and Merchant Shipping, with the aim of managing the port space according to needs.
Alcudia’s Port stands out for its combination of its marina for yachting and the need of goods provisioning for the island and the traffic between Minorca and some ports of the peninsula.
Alcudia has two distinct areas: the berth for commercial traffic and the berth for small ships, which comprises the fishing dock and the marina. However, it is eminently an energy port. Coal is unloaded at its facilities in order to produce electric power, as well as butane and propane gas.
Alcudia’s Port handles 1.5 million tons of goods every year and 250.000 passengers of regular lines. The arrival of 11 cruise ships is foreseen this 2016, the double than in 2015, which demonstrates the growing interest in this port and its possibilities for cruise tourism.
