IGY Ibiza Marina, managed by the consortium formed by Ocean Capital Partners (OCP), Grupo Empresas Matutes and Island Global Yachting (IGY), has obtained authorization from the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands to start the works that will allow the marina to have electricity supply, known as cold ironing. This improvement will be a very important change for the facilities because it will allow boats to turn off their engines while moored, with the consequent reduction of air and noise pollution. IGY Ibiza Marina has been managing these facilities since March 2024, through an administrative concession for eight and a half years and, after a series of procedures, it is now when the authorization of the port has been obtained to begin the works that will affect both the land area and the water area with a new mooring plant designed to accommodate boats from 20 meters to 120 meters in length, as governed by the specifications of the concession.
Work is expected to be completed before the summer of 2025.
IGY Ibiza Marina will also carry out repair work on the Duques de Alba walkways, as well as the refurbishment of the Martillo area with a commercial and office area to improve the current situation and integrate the area into the city and the Sa Marina neighborhood. The Ibiza Marina project was born with the medium-term objective of boosting the deseasonalization of the Ibiza destination and promoting the arrival of large boats during the months that are not part of the summer season, as well as maintaining a fleet of small and medium-sized boats in the low season or through basic contracts.
