At the meeting of the Navigation and Port Council of the Port of La Savina, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) presented the current status of ongoing projects and the planned investment programme. This plan includes strategic actions aimed at improving the infrastructure of the port of La Savina, strengthening security, modernising port services and advancing the management of the public port domain of Formentera. The total investment planned for the period 2025–2030 amounts to more than €9.4 million, most of which is concentrated on infrastructure and environmental improvements.
Among the most significant actions are the improvement of accessibility and the modernisation of the Ro-Ro ramps at the commercial docks, which will be completed in 2026 and will facilitate the loading and unloading of vehicles and goods. In addition to this project, the second floor of the Harbour Master's Office building is undergoing renovation, scheduled for completion in 2026, which will improve workspaces and customer service. Progress is also being made on the renovation of defences, an essential intervention to increase safety during docking manoeuvres.
One of the strategic projects that will shape the future of the port is the commitment to a single marina, a unified management model for moorings, commercial premises and parking spaces. This initiative will eliminate administrative and operational duplication, improve management efficiency, guarantee legal certainty and provide La Savina with a single point of contact capable of undertaking structural investments and ensuring uniform standards of quality and sustainability in all nautical and sports facilities. The tender process is moving forward and a decision is expected in 2026.
As part of its strategic planning, the APB continues to promote the Special Plan for the port of La Savina, for which it has proposed the creation of a joint commission with the Formentera Council to review and update its content.
The port's environmental commitment is reinforced by the implementation of new regulations aimed at improving air quality and the condition of port waters. Likewise, the process of decarbonisation of the Ibiza-La Savina line is progressing, incorporating stricter environmental criteria in the new tender for the maritime service.
The port of La Savina is also participating in the technological advances of all the ports managed by the APB. The implementation of the new Posidonia Operations V2, the technical-nautical services platform, the digitisation of maritime signals and the updating of electronic administration tools are improving the coordination, safety and daily efficiency of the port. Future improvements to the CCTV system and cybersecurity projects complete this commitment to a smarter port model.
Actions completed in 2025
During the current financial year, the APB has completed several key actions that are already improving the functionality of the port of La Savina. Of particular note is the segregation of the navigation channel with the aim of increasing the safety and fluidity of maritime traffic entering and leaving the port. Accessibility has also been improved, with the renovation of pedestrian routes and the adaptation of spaces to offer safer and more comfortable mobility, especially for people with reduced mobility.
In terms of public port domain, a decisive step has been taken this year with the formalisation of the agreement with the Formentera Council for regulated vehicle parking in the port area, a tool that allows for the organisation of access and use of space for residents and visitors. Progress has also been made on the agreement with the Ministry of the Interior for the installation of an integrated surveillance system at the La Mola lighthouse, reinforcing maritime safety on the island.
