The President of Puertos del Estado (State Ports), José Llorca, visited the Port of La Savina and the La Mola Lighthouse in Formentera today accompanied by representatives from the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) and Formentera Island Council.
The trip was led by the President of the APB, Joan Gual de Torrella, alongside the President of Formentera Island Council, Jaume Ferrer. Gual informed José Llorca about the comprehensive beautification project that will be put out to tender soon at the smallest of the ports managed by the APB. Gual also outlined some of the construction details of the new fishermen's guild, as well as the agreement reached with Formentera Island Council to convert the La Mola Lighthouse into a maritime ethnographic museum that will also host cultural events from the island's agenda.
The President of Formentera Island Council, Jaume Ferrer, highlighted the importance of the visit paid by the State Ports President to the Port of La Savina to confirm that the lines of action that were previously agreed on with the APB are being implemented in line with the needs of the island of Formentera, and that the investments made by State Ports for this purpose are warranted.
Meanwhile, José Llorca drew attention to the fact that La Savina was declared as a port of general interest thanks to the indispensable services it provides to the citizens, claiming that "Formentera would not be Formentera without its port". State Ports strives to establish contacts with local bodies at all ports of general interest in the hope of coming to an agreement on the future of its ports.
This visit forms part of the program that draws to a close tomorrow with a trip to the Port of Ibiza to check the current state of this port and to find out about its future perspectives.
