The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) rejected today the request filed by the company Puerto Deportivo Botafoch, SL to extend the term and prolong the administrative concession that Marina Botafoch has at the Port of Ibiza.
The APB has deemed that the actions proposed by the applicant are not in the public interest, and this opinion is also shared by the other public administrations involved.
Furthermore, it considers that the proposal is not in line with the planning scheme in place at the port, nor does it comply with the consolidated text of the Law on State Ports and the Merchant Navy (TRLPEMM) as regards term extensions and prolongation of concessions. In addition, it holds that the current concession operator has committed certain breaches, including unauthorised occupancy.
Marina Botafoch submitted its request for extension of the term for its facilities pursuant to transitional provision ten introduced in Law 18/2014 and for an extraordinary prolongation in virtue of article 82. 2. C1 (strategic and relevant) of the TRLPEMM.
