The APB (Port Authority of the Balearic Islands) has launched the refurbishment works of the docks at Illa Plana, a project that will also cover the adaptation of the surface area intended for sailing and canoeing schools of the various boat clubs at the port of Maó that often visit these facilities for their sports activities.

With a budget of €304,202.89, the company Dragados, S.A. will repair, reconstruct and lay the pavement of the docks, implementing works over the course of around 4 months with a view to improving the sporting use and safety of the facilities.

Although these works were set to get underway mid-2015, it was not feasible until now. The inability of the winning company of the first tender to undertake the project and the subsequent new tender process for the works that had to be performed caused the delay.

With this activity, the APB seeks to harness the public domain and steer it towards sporting and recreational activities that boost the Maó Maritime Club and the Villacarlos Sailing Club and, in particular, to protect the safety of children who take part in the light sailing, canoeing or paddle surf courses that are on offer.
