At its latest meeting, the Board of Directors of the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) approved the collaboration agreement with Club de Mar Mallorca on best environmental practices in the Port of Palma. This five-year agreement aims to promote environmental investments at the nautical facilities.

Club de Mar Mallorca agrees to invest at least 50% of the subsidy obtained in initiatives to improve the environment. It must also comply with a set of technical and operational instructions, based on the best environmental practices guidelines approved by Puertos del Estado. The company is also required to have ISO 14001 certification.

 

Club de Mar Mallorca holds a concession to operate a sports dock, with its complementary uses, next to the Ponent docks in the Port of Palma. Pursuant to the legislation, the APB foresees that all those concession or authorisation holders who carry out certain types of port activities (including fishing and nautical-sports activities) may enter into an agreement on best environmental practices, which will give them a 15% rebate on the activity tax quota.
