The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) is organising a lunch this Friday to thank the workers for their effort on the Es Martell square and Levante dock works, on the Marina promenade at the port of Ibiza, after making it possible for the works to be completed on schedule.

The celebration will consist of a paella served at lunchtime tomorrow in the newly opened Es Martell building, where 60 people are expected to attend. The guests are the workmen from the companies Acciona, Melchor Mascaró and other technical staff responsible for the technical management of the works.

Acciona's efforts over the last six months to complete the building and prepare Es Martell square for use provided direct employment for 60 people, while the intervention by concession company Sovren Marina at the Levante dock in Ibiza provided direct employment for 45 people on average since 23 April, with peaks of up to 80 workers.

It is worth noting that a large group of Muslim workers who worked on the project have declined the lunch invitation due to the fact that they are currently fasting during the day as part of Ramadan. Nevertheless, the APB and the various other companies involved recognise their effort and dedication all the same.

The Es Martell lookout point will be opened to the public tomorrow at midday once the commissioning certificate has been signed and just before the thank you lunch.
