The construction of the new pontoons for the port of Sant Antoni has already begun, marking the start of a transformation that promises to completely renew the floating infrastructures of this port area. With a budget of 879,986 euros, this initiative of PortsIB, an agency of the Balearic Government, seeks to replace the old pontoons deteriorated by the passage of time and ensure their functionality and safety.
An investment to modernize the port
The project includes the dismantling of the existing pontoons and all associated elements, such as supply towers, water and electricity networks, bollards and stairs.
Subsequently, new floating modules equipped with modern technology will be manufactured and installed, from renewed supply systems to elements that will improve the operability and safety of the infrastructure. According to the plan, the execution period is six months, which means that the new pontoons will be operational in the summer of 2025, a crucial time for the island’s nautical and tourism sector.
A key port for Ibiza
The renovation of the pontoons is part of a broader plan to improve the infrastructure of the port of Sant Antoni and its surroundings. Among the initiatives also highlights the repair project of the Passeig de la Mar, with an investment of over one million euros, which aims to modernize the pavements and harmonize them with the design of the coastline. The port of Sant Antoni is one of the strategic points for recreational and commercial boating in Ibiza, being key in the tourist development of the island. This investment not only seeks to guarantee safety, but also to reinforce the attractiveness of the area as a quality destination for visitors and residents.
