The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has started drafting its Strategic Plan which will address the future of the five ports it manages (Palma, Alcudia, Mahon, Ibiza and la Savina). The APB intends for it to be a useful tool for guiding and prioritising its activities over the next few years. At the same time, it will offer transparency as it establishes and explains the different APB projects in a coherent manner to the institutional, financial and social entities. The resulting dialogue and collaboration with them will help the ports offer the best possible service.
To draw up the Strategic Plan, the APB has engaged the services of a joint venture that comprises Teirlog Ingeniería and Estrada Port Consulting. The work is expected to last approximately 15 months and the Plan will be valid for 10 years.
A participatory process
During those months, a participatory process will be launched in order to bring together and listen to the input of the whole port community and all the public and private stakeholders regarding the ports of general interest and the lighthouses on the Balearic Islands.
The idea of the public participation arose from the desire to achieve more efficient and competitive ports, and that their main lines of activity –freight and passenger traffic, recreational boating and the cruise market– are in keeping with the needs of users and with the territorial strategy of the island and the sustainable development of the environment.
Those interested in completing the questionnaire and participating in this drafting process of the Strategic Plan can do it via the APB website (www.portsdebalears.com) through a campaign the public body has set up called #APORTA, under the slogan ‘We want to hear from you’.
