The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) agreed yesterday in a meeting held in the port of Palma, to grant an extension of 15 years to the Club Nàutic Portitxol. The agreement also involves modifying the concession to incorporate more than 12,000 additional square metres of water surface area, which will allow for the reorganisation and expansion of the club's dock and nautical services.
This extension means the concession will now run until 15 December 2040 and is linked to the club making a total investment of around ten million euros. The project proposed by the CN Portitxol foresees important actions in port infrastructures, including the reorganisation of the inner dock, the creation of an outer dock with new pontoons and a breakwater, a new dry dock, improvements in port facilities, buoyage systems, cleaning of drafts and plans for safety, health and environmental monitoring.
In terms of sport, the club is committed to strengthening its social and educational function, maintaining its focus on teaching sailing, promoting grassroots sport and social access to small boats, on a not-for-profit basis and at reduced rates. For the APB, this profile coincides with the model of installation that is intended to be preserved in the redevelopment of Portitxol.
Port-city integration
Port-city integration is another of the axes of the approved extension. The project foresees actions aimed at improving pedestrian connectivity, removing physical barriers and reorganising service areas to facilitate a more open relationship with the urban environment. Some of these actions may be coordinated with urban interventions planned by the APB itself on roads and promenades in the area.
In the environmental field, the Portitxol NC must implement advanced measures for waste management, quality control and environmental monitoring, as well as guaranteeing that any action that requires it has a favourable report on compatibility with marine strategies prior to the technical approval of the project.
With this extension, the APB guarantees the continuity of the sports and social services of the CN Portitxol, now adapted to the needs of the future redevelopment of the port area and the objectives of sustainability and environmental improvement set by the port authority.
