The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has approved the specifications for the public tender for the management, under administrative authorisation, of a dry marina facility for small charter boats in the port of La Savina.

The 754.5 square metre operating area has been put out to tender, of which 247.4 square metres is water and 507.1 square metres is land. The services to be provided include the hoisting and launching of boats, storage, surveillance and safeguarding of boats on land, as well as the supply of water and electricity to them.

The annual amount of the occupation fee is 9,197.18 euros and the activity fee, in accordance with Articles 187 and 188 of the State Ports Law, will be 4% of the turnover. The duration of the authorisation will be two years, as of the granting of the authorisation, with the possibility of a further one year extension.

The provision of this service shall be compulsory for the authorised person during the high season (1 June to 30 September). The rest of the months will be optional.

This public tender is justified by the great demand in the port of La Savina for small charter boats of up to 7 metres in length, due to the new anchoring restrictions imposed in S'Estany des Peix.

Basic facilities project

Bidders must submit a basic project that defines a solution compatible with the specifications in the terms and conditions and plans. It will include the characteristics of the actions to be carried out, which will consist of dismountable structures, the extension of the area of the public port domain to be occupied, the intended use of each of the spaces provided by the APB, the estimated budget for the actions, the planned execution schedule, as well as any modification, specific refurbishment actions or demolition of existing elements that are considered necessary to improve the provision of the services and activities defined. The project will also include the possible environmental impacts and the corrective measures foreseen.
