Today, the APB Chairman, Alberto Pons, visited the Port of Maó on what was his first official visit since he took up the position. The aim of the visit was to get to know the Minorcan authorities personally, tackle the most conflictive issues facing the port community and try to find solutions to them.
The first stop-off point was a courtesy visit to the port facilities to meet the Port of Maó’s staff. Pons then boarded a boat to visit the port area by sea.
This was followed by a series of institutional visits to the island’s authorities, including meetings with the President of the Minorca Island Council, Santiago Tadeo, the Spanish Central Government representative in Minorca, Javier López-Cerón, the Mayor of Maó, Águeda Reynés, and the Mayor of Es Castell, Lluís Camps.
In the afternoon, Pons chaired several meetings with members of the port community to get their impressions about the issues that affect the port, and then gave a speech at the Maó Ateneo.
The APB Chairman revealed that the Port of Maó is a “priority” and highlighted its “potential” and his confidence in its future.
