The Palma nautical bus will have to look for another operator before making its first trip. The joint venture led by TUI, selected to provide the service, announced on August 3rd that it was abandoning the procedure. It did so months after having ratified that its proposal was viable and that it would have the necessary vessels and personnel at its disposal. The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) is now preparing a new tender, which it plans to bring to the board of directors this September.

The future nautical bus of the port of Palma will have three differentiated lines and the ticket will cost 6 euros per trip. This was explained this Friday by the president of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB), Javier Sanz, during the presentation of the project, which will be managed for 15 years by a temporary union of companies formed by TUI and MallorcaAventura.
