This restoration will be helpful in providing a docking area for small cruise ships located at the core of La Marina neighbourhood.Aside from the newly-built facilities and improved services, access to power has also been included in the redevelopment. In mid-February, the electrical interconnection process was launched in the marina, this has allowed vessels to access shore power for a reliable and consistent electrical supply to superyachts.Thanks to the upgrades and redevelopments, the electrical capacity within the Sa Marina neighbourhood has also greatly improved which is useful for communication and swift exchange of information during emergencies.Furthermore, all nautical services have also been upgraded leading to increased safety and efficiency in marina operations.To mark this moment of the redevelopment project’s completion, an inauguration has been held in the marina attended by institutional representatives, clients, and local residents.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5903" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IGY Marinas (Company)">IGY Marina</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6822" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IGY Ibiza Marina (Company)">IGY Ibiza Marina</a> is expected to generate an overall socioeconomic impact of €30.4 million, around €3.3 million annually between 2025 and 2033.The investment on the redevelopment project is expected to strengthen the tourism capabilities of the marina in attracting large superyachts outside of the usual summer season.
