The company Naviera Amas plans to create "in the short term" a cargo terminal in the port of Los Mármoles in Arrecife. This was announced by the capital's city council in a press release. The aim is to create a space, for the exclusive use of the shipping company, on a surface area of 8,431.43 square meters, which is equivalent to a football field.
The mayor of Arrecife, and member of the Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Las Palmas, has detailed that the official announcement of the Port Authority has been inserted in the BOE. It submits to public information the request of Naviera Armas, S.A. for the "state concession" to occupy this area of public port domain, with facilities included, and which is located in Functional Area 5 of the service area of the Port of Arrecife, Lanzarote.
Last Thursday, the first Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Las Palmas was held, with the presence of the new members after the elections at the end of last May. On behalf of the Arrecife City Council, the mayor of the capital of Lanzarote, Yonathan de León Machín, has been appointed as a member of the Navigation and Port Councils.
The capital's first mayor has highlighted that the contracting of technical assistance for the preparation of the new Strategic Plan of the Port Authority of Las Palmas with the temporal horizon of 2035, with decarbonization and the Port-City relationship as central axes, has been approved in this Council.
This scope of study will be complemented with a long-term contribution and vision, until 2045. It will include strategic proposals for each of the ports dependent on the Port Authority of Las Palmas, including Arrecife, in the capital of Lanzarote, taking into account the singularities from the commercial, logistics, industrial, tourist and citizen use point of view.
For Yonathan de León, knowing this future vision of the union of the port of Arrecife with the city - in its triple accesses (from Los Mármoles, Puerto Naos and Marina Lanzarote), will allow new proposals to be developed in parallel in Arrecife as a port capital and leader in the reception of cruise tourism in the non-capital islands.
The capital's mayor has remarked that Arrecife currently has a series of municipal works underway for the modernization of its seafront, primarily focused on the city's areas.
When this work of the AP is completed, it will allow to complement the vision from the port area and its links to the center.
