The BOP publishes the eviction order for 22 boats in Puerto Naos for "unduly" occupying the public domain

The Official Gazette of Las Palmas (BOP) publishes this Wednesday the eviction order for 22 boats, docked at the docks located in Puerto Naos, in Arrecife, for occupying "unduly" the public domain. The bulletin publishes this announcement, given the impossibility of notifying this order to the owners of this boat.

This situation dates back to 2000. The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Las Palmas awarded the tender for the exploitation under a temporary authorization regime of two floating docks for a period of three years. Four years later, the successful bidder still had not renewed the license, despite the "numerous requirements made by the Port Authority to regularize its situation", as stated in the BOP.

For this reason, an administrative eviction procedure was initiated, which was resolved by the Board of Directors in March 2009. Subsequently, in May 2010, the Justice authorized the entry to these two docks and in June it was notified to its "illegal occupant" that a forced eviction was going to take place "with the help of public force if necessary".

Faced with this situation, the successful bidder decided to send a letter in which he communicated his "formal resignation" to the exploitation of these two docks. Therefore, the forced eviction was left without effect, as explained in the BOP. However, the former owner handed over the docks "in a dilapidated state and with 83 boats inside".

For this reason, the Port Authority of Las Palmas has requested that these boats be removed, within a period of one month. If this is not carried out, the entity warns the owners of these boats that it will execute it in a subsidiary manner.

No supply

This complicated situation does not end here. In January 2011, the owners of these boats informed the Port Authority of the "disruptions" that the cut of supply in the docks was causing them. The entity again required them to remove the boats from this space.

Thus, it warns them that if they do not remove these boats by September 5, the Port Authority would proceed to remove the docks from the water surface, a job that the owners themselves would have to pay for.
