The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) agreed, in its last ordinary meeting, to directly grant an administrative concession to the Maó Fishermen’s Guild for the operation of the facilities for fishing activities located in the Poniente quay area of the port of Maó.

The Cofradía proposes to use the areas and facilities intended mainly for professional fishing for additional services such as a net drying area, a storage area for boxes, tools, gear and effects, storerooms and premises, cold rooms, control room, and the provision of premises to a third party for the development of commercial fishing and the management of the building.

They propose to build a pergola on the net drying area, with an investment budget of 158,000 euros for the works and installations. The viability plan for the concession is for a period of 15 years.
