The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) met yesterday and agreed to select the proposal submitted by La Lonja Marina Chárter as the most advantageous bid in the public tender for the management and operation of moorings for rental boats on the seafront promenade of the port of Palma, under an administrative concession.
The concession will last for 16 years and involves a committed investment of over €4.5 million.
It covers a total area of 17,915 square metres of public port land, of which 17,100 square metres correspond to water surface area, and includes mooring berths and a fuel supply facility for rental boats.
La Lonja Marina Chárter's bid was particularly highly rated for the environmental improvements it incorporates, in line with the APB's commitment to sustainability and protection of the port environment.
The actions planned to boost marine biodiversity include installing mooring systems that help regenerate the seabed and using Econcrete technology, designed to encourage marine life to grow on port infrastructure.
Water management measures include a custom-built drinking water production system, rainwater reuse for cleaning and flushing, and the installation of consumption control systems to detect potential leaks and improve efficiency. Smart planters are also planned, which significantly reduce water consumption.
To reduce energy consumption, La Lonja Marina Chárter plans to install solar panels, which will generate some of the electricity needed for its operations. In addition, the project includes an electric charging infrastructure with several points for electric boats, as well as a charging point for electric bicycles and scooters, promoting more sustainable mobility in the port area.
This announcement marks a step forward for the APB in its goal of improving port services and promoting a more efficient and environmentally friendly management model in the port of Palma.
