New Palma port jetty nears end

The Port Authorities will officially open the project on 26th November which will have been completed at a cost of 33'122'645 euros.
The number of cruise liners docking in Palma has increased over the past few years to the point where there are over 400 stop-offs a year. The Ports Authority had said that Palma needed new specialised docking facilities. Although there has been a decline in cruise tourism over the past year, several particularly large cruise liners have needed to moor up during the same day
The new jetties consist of 18 separate pre-fabricated sections which were brought over from the mainland by sea. Once in place they prolonged the south jetty by 380 metres and the north by 360.
