The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has recently agreed to open a public tender to award the management and operation, under an administrative concession, of mooring berths for charter boats on the seafront promenade of the port of Palma.

 

The tender procedure aims to award the operation of a total area of approximately 18,000 square metres of public port land, located next to the Golondrinas quay. Most of the space will be allocated to mooring around 95 boats that may be over 20 metres in length. The contract also includes a building for toilets and a harbour master's office.

 

The services that the successful bidder must provide include managing moorings for charter boats, supplying water and electricity, including electric chargers for at least 4% of the moorings, and supplying fuel to boats moored at the facility, among other services.

 

The maximum term for the management of the concession will be eighteen years. The tender sets an initial occupancy rate of around €430,000 per year, subject to increase, and an activity rate of 4% of annual turnover.

 

Environmental competitiveness

Investment in infrastructure, environmental improvements such as the use of renewable energies, the quality of materials and the suitability of the environment will also be assessed.

 

In addition, the specifications will assess the most competitive rates in the proposals, differentiated for basic and transient vessels, with different rates for high and low season, calculated in euros per square metre per day.
