The APB’s Board of Directors has approved a good environmental practices agreement with Marina La Savina

At its latest meeting, held yesterday in Palma, the Board of Directors of the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) approved a collaboration agreement with Marina La Savina on good environmental practices in the general interest port of La Savina. The agreement, which will be valid for six months, aims to increase environmental investments in the nautical facility.

As part of the agreement, Port Med Formentera S.L. has pledged to invest at least 50% of the savings in environmental improvement projects in the surrounding area. In addition, it must adhere to a set of technical and operational instructions based on the guidelines for good environmental practices approved by the State Ports Authority. The company is also obliged to have ISO 14001 certification.

Port Med Formentera S.L. is the company currently authorised to manage the moorings on the western quay of La Savina Port, operating under the name Marina La Savina. In accordance with current legislation, the APB provides that all holders of a concession or licence to carry out certain types of port activities — including fishing and nautical sports — may subscribe to an agreement on good environmental practices in exchange for a 15% discount on their business activity fee.

The APB is putting the management of the moorings on the western quay of Ibiza Port out to public tender

At its latest meeting, held yesterday in Palma, the Board of Directors of the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) approved the specifications and operating clauses that will govern the public tender for permission to manage more than ninety moorings for recreational vessels on the western quay of Ibiza’s port.

The facility occupies a total surface area of more than 20,000 square metres of public port domain, most of which is water. Specifically, the contract being put out to tender includes the management of two floating jetties and the berthing line on the marina's western quay, known as es Martell.

The lengths of the vessels covered by the licence range from six and a half to sixty metres. Of these, twelve are between 25 and 60 metres long.

The duration of the contract also provides for the possibility of two one-year extensions. The annual occupancy fee will be, as a minimum, around 579,000 euros.

The APB supports and champions the role of women in the Port Police Force

The APB (Balearic Port Authority) today held a round table discussion to celebrate International Women’s Day. Under the slogan Somos Mujeres, somos Autoridad, somos Portuarias [We’re Women, we’re Authority, we’re the Port Police], the APB’s aim was to highlight the role of women in the force, which had historically been a male domain.

At the event, the APB Archive team presented some previously unpublished documents that show very clearly that the Authority was a pioneer in Spain in terms of the incorporation of women into the Port Police.

Inmaculada Morán, who in 1991 became the very first female Port Police officer in the Balearic Islands, took part in the round table. Furthermore, many of the women who are currently working for the APB, and either are, or have been, members of the Port Police at one of the five ports of general interest managed by the organisation, including Olga Peñalver, Elke Fernández, Raquel Ripoll, Maribel Torres and Fosi Jiménez, talked about their own experiences. They recalled the process of preparing to sit the Port Police entrance exams, and what working relationships with the other members of the port community were like.

One of the very first female members of the Port Police was Olga Peñalver, who joined in 1996 and is now head of the Conservation Department. Peñalver said that “among the male officers, the fact that there were now women on the force came as quite a shock. In fact, they didn’t have changing rooms or uniforms for women”. She added that “when a Port Police Officer became pregnant, they didn’t quite know what to do or how to manage the situation”.

Many of the women who started out as Port Police officers subsequently pursued a professional career within the APB, and today hold managerial posts within the company, like Olga Peñalver.
