València, 26 September 2024.- The Board of Directors has approved today – in an ordinary meeting held in the Clock Building – the signing of the agreement between the Port Authority of Valencia and the Valencia City Council. This agreement, approved by the City Council at the ordinary session of its Local Government Board on 20 September, is the result of the work and willingness to dialogue between the two administrations and is aimed at:
– The coordinated management of the competences attributed respectively to the City Council of Valencia and the Port Authority of Valencia, through the creation of an inter-administrative cooperation body that will carry out its functions with respect to certain real estate of their respective ownership, both of a demanial and patrimonial nature, integrating the physical space known as La Marina de València.
– To regulate the composition of this body (parity: equal number of members from the city council and the APV); its operating regime (with the Presidency corresponding to one of the members appointed by the City Council of Valencia); and also its functions.
– Identify the specific property and patrimonial assets – owned by both public administrations – over which the cooperation body will exercise the functions entrusted to it.
‘The joint work and dialogue between the two administrations unblocked a very complex legal situation in La Marina. This joint project will benefit all citizens,’ said Mar Chao, president of the PAV, after the agreement was approved at the meeting.
Not included in this agreement -approved today by the Board of Directors- are the port assets integrated in the Marina of Valencia destined for nautical-sports and nautical-recreational uses, which have been the object of the granting of a concession in the same session of the Board.
Awarding of the concession for the management of the nautical-sports areas in the northern area of the Port of Valencia The management of these assets has been the subject of a public tender under an administrative concession regime, which has been awarded today in the same Council to the companies: Serveis Maritims Port Eivissa, S.L and Ocibar, S.A., after completing all the legal procedures foreseen.
This concessionaire, which will make an investment of 84.8 million euros, will be responsible for the adaptation and operation of the nautical-sports facilities in the northern area of the port of Valencia for a period of 35 years, extendable with up to a maximum of two successive extensions of 8 and 7 years, respectively.
The public domain assets subject to the concession awarded to Serveis Maritims Port Eivissa, S.L and Ocibar, S.A. include a land area of 236,894.00 m2 and a water surface area (after the execution of the works) of 283,056.00 m2.
The proposal of Serveis Maritims Port Eivissa, S.L. and Ocibar, S.A. includes a series of initiatives aimed at offering excellent nautical-sports facilities to users and pleasure boats, as well as the promotion of nautical, sporting and cultural activities for the public and the generation of quality employment.
