The Government assures that the shelter conditions of this port would be improved, in such a way that it allows the safe docking of large vessels
The Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Housing of the Government of the Canary Islands, directed by Sebastián Franquis, has informed this Thursday of the progress that is being carried out in the remodeling and expansion project of the port of Gran Tarajal, in Fuerteventura, with the objective of improving the security and berthing conditions of the port facilities.
This was communicated by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Gustavo Santana, in a meeting with the mayoress of Tuineje, Esther Hernández, to "advance on the proposals made so far as a result of communication between administrations to coordinate and promote this project". .
The main action proposal that is foreseen in the area, projected by the Ministry, focuses on the extension in a straight line of the existing breakwater by about 280 meters, maintaining its same width, but allowing a remodeling of the bottom of the dock to reduce the connection with the inner dock that is intended for fishing and recreational activities.
"With this measure, it is possible to increase the degree of shelter in the port and provide Gran Tarajal with a safe berthing line to accommodate large ships," he says.
According to the Government, "the creation of this dam will allow the different areas of operation -commercial, fishing and recreational- to be separated in order to reduce interference between them and achieve greater security, capacity and quality of services for users and visitors. ”. Thus, the inner dock will continue to be used for fishing or recreational boats, improving the existing services for the sector.
Finally, within the works to be undertaken, the reorganization of the land area of the port itself is contemplated to adapt it to the new benefits, through the creation of commercial and leisure areas close to the urban center of Gran Tarajal and that "will make it possible to boost its activity ”.
At this meeting, the vice-counselor informed the municipal corporation that, in the coming weeks, this project will go to public information so that people interested in it can present allegations, observations and queries through the project's public information process.
The Ministry of Public Works awarded the drafting of this project to the joint venture formed by Berenguer Ingenieros, Evalua Soluciones Ambientales and HIDTMA, for a total amount of 264,825 euros.
This project, which has been coordinated with the local administration of Tuineje and the fishermen's association of the area, will provide a definition to the works that will be undertaken in the port and will have support for the environmental processing of these works.
