The USS Harry S. Truman CVN 75 aircraft carrier to call at the Port of Palma in April
Palma de Mallorca
28/03/2014
Next week, the Port of Palma will be visited by the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman CVN 75 and the cruiser San Jacinto on a five-day call during which around 6,000 soldiers will be visiting the island. The visit of these US Navy ships will bring a considerable boost to the economy as it is estimated that each soldier who disembarks spends around €120 per day.
The visit will have a positive impact on car hire firms, excursions, restaurants, hotels, taxis, and shops in general. The presence of the USS Harry S. Truman CVN 75 and the cruiser San Jacinto at the Port of Palma means that other services such as pilotage services, tug boats, waste treatment companies, underwater activities, and maritime transport will also be required.
The ships are set to be docked at the Port of Palma from 3rd to 7th April. It is the first time in two years that North American navy ships have visited the Port of Palma.
