The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) approved the terms and conditions that will govern the public tender for the management of a centre for cement distribution and storage in silos for the commissioning of the seawall at the port of Alcúdia.

Services will include pneumatic loading and unloading of cement through pipes from the ship to the silos and its storage and distribution, as well as other optional services to be proposed by the bidder related to the previous ones.

The aim of this tender is to consolidate the important role played by the port of Alcúdia in the handling of solid bulks by developing a logistics terminal within the port for use as a cement reception, storage and distribution centre. The bidder may also choose to offer a cement bagging service. The entire logistics operation must contemplate the measures with the most eco-friendly measures out of those that are technologically feasible.

The annual occupancy rate to be improved by the bidder corresponds to €158,785.50 excluding VAT and will remain in force for a maximum of 18 years, from the date it is granted. Operations will depend on the granting of a licence for the public area of the port to use the existing facilities, with a total area of 890 m2, including the plot where the two silos and the underground pipelines are located.
