New railings added to the bike lane on Avenida Adolfo Suárez in the Port of Palma

The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) has replaced the bike lane's metal railings on Avenida Adolfo Suárez, in the Port of Palma, to ensure user safety and maintain the lane in good condition. A total of 1,698 metres of railings have been renovated.

Work on the improvements was done in two phases. The first began in March and involved the renovation of 1,053 metres of railing, from the APB building to the Anima Beach Palma restaurant.

The second phase was completed this week, ten days ahead of the deadline. Works have been carried out from the Anima Beach Palma restaurant to the pedestrian access stairway to Portitxol beach, which represents 645 metres of new railing.

The total cost of the renovation project, awarded by public tender to the company Thicorca Herrrería y Construcción S.L., was just over €520,000.

The APB adds 75 litter bins made from recycled fishing nets to the Port of Eivissa

The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) has updated some of its urban installations in the Port of Eivissa with the addition of 75 new litter bins made from recycled material extracted from the sea. These bins have been made from old fishing nets which have fallen into disuse.

The initiative falls under Serveo's cleaning and maintenance service for the ports of Ibiza and La Savina. At the same time, the company in charge of making the litter bins from recycled material is Fábregas.

Renewal of this urban equipment is the port authority's commitment to promoting the circular economy and environmental awareness. It is also an initiative which fits in with port-city integration.

Commitment to a circular economy

In March 2023, the APB had already installed 8 benches and 8 litter bins in the Port of Palma, which were also made from recycled fishing nets. At that time, it was carried out by the Plastic Free Oceans campaign run by the Gravity Wave association.

The APB takes acoustic measurements while the Ciudad de Granada is in the port of Maó

This weekend, the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) conducted noise level tests while the Ciudad de Granada was berthed in the port of Maó. The objective is to verify that the measurements comply with the acoustic limits stipulated in the regulations in force for the port area.

Javier Sanz, president of the APB, agreed to conduct the acoustic tests in response to the complaints received and the discontent expressed by the residents in the neighbourhoods around the port of Maó. The measurements were taken at various points in the port, both at night and during the day, to evaluate the impact of the noise generated by the vessel on the surrounding dwellings. They will be checked to see if they exceed the limits established in RD 1367/2007.

The laboratory responsible for taking the measurements is accredited by ENAC and has proven experience in the field of environmental and marine acoustics.
