Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) plans to earmark €30 million between now and 2030 for the Port of Alcúdia, including €15 million to be spent in three years during the period from 2025 to 2028. The most important projects include the construction of an electrical shore connection point for ferries at a cost of €2.6 million, financed with European funds.
The President of the APB, Javier Sanz, and his team are in Alcúdia today, where they have met with the Town Council and various sectors of the port community to listen, learn and act on the most important issues affecting the port. They have dealt with topics related to public investment in the port of Alcúdia and commitments to action by the port body.
The actions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of public lighting, budgeted at €1 million, and the adaptation for energy self-sufficiency of the Maritime Station of the Port of Alcúdia, budgeted at €1.4 million, also deserve a special mention.
Networking session
After meeting with the port communities of the ports of Maó, Eivissa and La Savina, a networking session is now continuing with the second port of general interest on the island of Mallorca, managed by the APB. According to Javier Sanz, this commitment to “maintaining a fluid and constant dialogue with the port communities pursues the objective of checking out the current situation of the ports and therefore responding to the needs of the different sectors”.
Fina Linares, the Mayoress of Alcúdia, said that this meeting, “together with the coordination meetings held every three months, show that there is a clear desire to collaborate between the Town Council and the APB in order to continue improving our port and the surrounding area”. Linares highlighted that more than 50 litter bins have been installed on the promenade, as well as the improved maintenance of the area and the lighting, “as well as other actions which will undoubtedly improve the quality of life of our citizens”.
Along with the municipal representatives, the APB has met with other entities directly related to the port, such as the fishermen's guild, the shipping agencies, Alcudiamar, harbour staff, the Restaurant Association, as well as the APB staff assigned to the port of Alcudia
