The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) presented its "master plan" on Friday to transform the Port of Palma, aiming to change both its appearance and function. The project to renovate nearly 400,000 square meters will cost approximately 200 million euros, and construction is expected to be completed around 2036, according to APB President José Javier Sanz. The Port-City Integration Master Plan for the Port of Palma is based on four fundamental strategic lines. The first is the diversification of cargo and passenger traffic. Therefore, the APB—which handles nearly 18 million tons of cargo and around seven million passengers annually—intends to concentrate these operations primarily on the West Dock, the Ponent Wharf, and the commercial docks, with the goal of "reducing congestion and ensuring improved traffic flow," explained Sanz. On the other hand, the second strategic line focuses on the nautical industrial activity—which generates an annual turnover of €1.1 billion and employs nearly 5,000 people—which will be relocated to the West Dock. A space for vessel repairs will also be provided. Cruise ship activity will be centralized at the Ponent Wharf with the aim of offering a smoother and more enjoyable experience for both tourists and residents. The fourth strategic line of the plan is based on port-city integration through the complete renovation of the port area, "from end to end," as Sanz emphasized. The area will include green spaces, recreational areas, and spaces for social, cultural, and educational activities, which will be located on the commercial wharves, the Old Wharf, and the Mollet Wharf. Along the same lines, Sanz announced that Port Vell will become a "large public space" housing a Dual Vocational Training Center for Nautical and Fishing Studies, given the "current high demand for these professional profiles," he explained. A second building will also be reserved for university degrees.
