The APB and the Ibiza Island Council have today renewed their cooperation agreement on occupational health and safety, firefighting, sea rescue and civil defence for the Port of Ibiza. This extends the agreement signed in 2001 for another fifteen years and aims to increase safety levels at the Port of Ibiza’s service area both on land and at sea.
The agreement was ratified today with the signing of the document by the APB Chairman, José María Urrutia, and by the Council’s President, Vicent Serra.
Under the agreement, the APB will pay €50,000 per year, will acquire consumables to the value of €51,000 and will defray the purchase of a fire engine valued at €199,000, net of VAT, which will be owned by the Port Authority but will be loaned to the Ibiza Fire Service. For its part, the Ibiza Island Council undertakes to contribute the necessary human capital and material resources to ensure safety at the port, and to train the APB staff.
Both APB and Ibiza Island Council valued this agreement positively as it takes advantage of the resources and synergies available, and therefore prevents services being duplicated.
