The commercial use of moorings for the 7th list boats in autonomic ports is forbidden

PortsIB responds to the new regulation of the State and reminds that the mooring spots assigned to private boats will not be used with economic purposes.

The Balearic Islands Government has dictated a resolution to avoid the moorings conceded for particular use in ports of autonomic management to be used with economic purposes, such as touristic renting of private boats. The measure adopted before the entry into force of the statal resolution allows the private recreational boats to temporally change their commercial use, and in exercise of the exclusive competence that the Autonomic Community owns ombre the public portuary dominion.

The resolution clearly establishes that any commercial use of these moorings means a serious infraction, which involves the opening of a sanctioning report and the immediate expiration of the authorization. 

The base moorings of the direct management ports have the purpose of keeping a balance between social and lucrative moorings. So using social moorings for a financial end means denaturating its purpose.

Ports de les Illes Balears (PortsIB), owned by the Sea Council and Water Cycle, highlights that the Balearic model of portuary ordination clearly distinguishes particular and commercial uses, so it implies different affections and necessities, often incompatible. This differentiation allows preserving the balance between nautical activity, the security of the facilities and the coastal environment protection.

From the Government, it is insisted that the State resolution published in the BOE on July 22nd does not modify the autonomic juridical mark, nor can it impose upon the established use conditions in the occupation titles of PortsIB. For that reason, the controls and the tutelage over the use of the moorings to guarantee that they are destined exclusively to the finality for them to be conceded.

The resolution will be published in the BOIB and it can be checked in the website of Ports de les Illes Balears

Meanwhile, and with the aim of reinforcing the control over the autonomic ports in regime of indirect management, PortsIB has solicited to the concessionary entities that they present, in a maximum period of 10 days, a provisional proposal of division of moorings according to its use. The destined ones to particular use only and the reserved ones to professional activities must be clearly differentiated, specifying in this case if it’s nautical renting of non regular maritime transport.
