The Board of Directors of the Balearics Ports (Ports IB) unanimously approved this morning not to go ahead with the planned transfer into indirect management of the regional ports. The meeting was chaired by the director general of the Ports and Airports, Antonio Deudero, also the manager of the regional port entity, David Gómez, participated in the meeting.
With this decisión, the Board of Directors agreed to paralyze the administrative process of authorization of concessions to occupy and to exploit the port installations of Colónia Sant Jordi, Cala Bona, Porto Cristo, Fornells, Sant Antoni de Portmany and Andratx.
This paralyzation takes place after the Ministry of Tourism and Sports deems appropriate to wait for the results of a study over the development of demand for moorings in the Balearics – currently being processed – to be able to analyze the weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities of port installations in the archipelago.
All this with an aim to chart the necessities of both sporting and recreational, as well fishing and comercial sectors.
Additionally, it is worth pointing out that currently the parliament is processing the modification of the Law 10/2005, of 21st of June of Ports IB, which contemplates the creation of a new General Plan of the Ports as an instrument of ordainment of the ports and their installations.
COLLABORATION AGREEMENT WITH THE ISLAND COUNCIL OF MENORCA
Another of the points discussed was the collaboration agreement with the island council of Menorca – through SPEI – when it comes to prevention and extinction of forest fires, rescue and protection services.
Regarding this, the Board of Directors honoured the agreement by assigning to the island council of Menorca two inflatable vessels with towing capacity, apart from providing the human resources for the development of the required activities of vigilance.
