The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has today begun its round of meetings to present the proposed reorganisation of the uses of the port of Palma to the different political parties represented in the Parliament of the Balearic Islands, starting with the PSIB-PSOE and Vox groups. This final phase of the participatory process launched by the APB comes after the principal ideas were put forward to more than 65 social, institutional and economic stakeholders with links to the port of Palma de Mallorca.
The president of the APB, Javier Sanz, and his team met today at the APB headquarters with representatives of the socialist group and Vox. On the agenda are meetings with MÉS per Mallorca, Mixt-Unides Podem, the Popular group and the Delegation of the Central Government. The purpose of these meetings is to inform them about the proposed new location for the four main uses of the port of Palma: industrial activities, passenger and goods transport, cruise activity, and port-city activities.
As in the other meetings held with stakeholders, the APB shared the strategic and conceptual vision of the new layout of the port in order to gather the initial impressions and comments of all the parties present. The tasks of defining the budget, the hectares allocated to each use, work schedules, etc., will be undertaken in a second phase as soon as the APB's Board of Directors approves the drafting of a new project that takes into account the suggestions put forward by all the sectors consulted.
Inform, listen and participate
In July of last year, the APB initiated a participatory process involving the different stakeholders that form part of Palma's port community, with the aim of obtaining maximum consensus on the reorganisation of the port. During the process, opinions and specific requirements are being compiled and will be taken into account in the drafting of a new proposal that addresses the needs and expectations of all stakeholders and prioritises the public interest.
