In November the works of the marina of Morro Jable begin.

The Minister of the Government announced this morning in parliament that the works will cost a total of 8.5 million euros.

Sebastian Franquiz, Minister of Public Works, Transport and Housing of the Government of the Canary Islands, explained today in the Parliament of the Canary Islands that it has been possible to reactivate the project to build a new sports dock in the port of Morro Jable.

 

The project in which 8.5 million euros are going to be invested and which was presented 8 years ago will begin in a few weeks, in view of the fact that the concessionaire company has entered the 562 thousand euros as a mandatory deposit to carry out the work.

 

The project, awarded by Puertos Canarios to the company Puerto Calero S.L involves the concession of 64,180 m2 to that company, which would build the sports dock, and will be in charge of its operation for the next twenty-five years. The new space will house 290 new moorings and 20 commercial premises of 1,800 m2.


A project, which aims to be a boost for the local economy. In fact, once the works are finished, it is expected that "Marina Jandía" will directly employ twelve workers from the municipality of Pájara. In addition, Puerto Calero has closed collaboration agreements with the Club Náutico Península de Jandía, the Fishermen's Guild of MorroJable and the Red Cross to make their activities compatible and to have an impact on the benefit of all entities.

 

The project called Marina Jandía is a commitment to provide facilities dedicated to sports boats and commercial area, in the line of Puerto Calero or Marina Rubicón in Lanzarote.

 

In this sense, we have also tried to carry out a project that aims to reduce the impact of the carbon footprint and improve waste management both in the construction and in the operation of the new sports marina".

 
The Marina Jandía project will have 2,000 square meters for commercial development with about twenty premises for trade and restoration.
