The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in the port of Palma, passed a resolution to award the company OCIBAR S.A. the management, under administrative authorisation, of the moorings, the service station, the dry dock area and the shopping premises located in the Botafoc area, in the port of Ibiza.
The management period granted shall be for an initial period of two years, extendable for a maximum of three years. At the moment, the Special Plan for the Port is at an advanced stage of processing, which envisages, until it is approved, a call for tenders for a long-term concession - between 20 and 30 years - which would allow the significant investments necessary for the complete renovation of the facilities to be undertaken.
This tender is intended to guarantee the provision of quality services in the port area during the transitional period, while the new planning process is being finalised. The plot of land under management covers a total of 97,000 m², of which 43,000 m² are land area, with various buildings for commercial uses, a service station for pleasure boats, and an area for mooring and repairing boats. This is in addition to more than 54,000 m² of water surface area, with 432 mooring places distributed over five pontoons.
The award envisages an annual occupancy fee of €2,215,013.76 and a business tax of 4% on the turnover generated by the operation of the port services. In addition, OCIBAR S.A. has offered a fee improvement of €8,850,000 per year.
With this resolution, the APB ensures the continuity and improvement in the management of one of the most important sites of the port of Ibiza, while waiting for the new Special Plan to allow the area to be comprehensively developed in the long term.
