The improvement works at the La Savina Maritime Station in Formentera will start the next 2nd of March. The contract has been awarded to Ferrovial Agroman by the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) for 77.033 euros, with the aim of refurbishing and expanding the ticket offices and the toilets of the station. The works are scheduled for completion the 15th of May, although details will be worked out until the 31st of May.

During the refurbishing works, the ticket sale will be done at a provisional ticket office located in the Maritime Station, and the toilets will be set up outside the station, in temporary modules. These refurbishing works will allow for offering a better service to clients and for a larger space for shipping lines to carry out their business.

The construction of six larger ticket offices more is foreseen at the ground floor, four of which of eleven square metres, which will allow for attending two clients at the same time, and four more offices, of 20 square metres, for attending three people and dedicated to shipping lines operating mixed traffic. The new toilets will be expanded and located in the first floor.

La Savina is today the second port of the Balearic Islands with the highest traffic of passengers of regular lines, after Ibiza. In 2015, La Savina Port handled 1.6 million passengers of regular lines.
