Marbella launches an "ambitious" maintenance plan for the Marina

The Marbella City Council and the Virgen del Carmen Marina will launch an "ambitious" maintenance and comprehensive conservation plan for the marina ... which will result in an investment of one million euros and represents "a firm commitment to ensure safety, the quality of the facilities, and the excellence of the services." The investment will be executed over the next five years, allowing continuous action on the structural and functional elements of the equipment, including the paving of docks and pontoons, improvements to the electrical system, the replacement of urban furniture, masonry work, and enhanced cleaning and general conservation of the site.

This plan, which will be implemented through a contract, "demonstrates the constant effort made by the City Council to maintain strategic facilities for the municipality in perfect condition," said Diego López, the councilor responsible for the Marina. "Marbella is a city that has four ports, a key infrastructure for our economy and our international projection. Therefore, the permanent maintenance of this site is not an option, but a priority," he highlighted. López explained that the investment will allow action with planning and foresight. In this regard, the councilor stated that "the goal is to ensure a safe, well-maintained, and fully operational port 365 days a year, and this contract allows us to prevent deterioration, act quickly in the event of incidents, and ensure the best possible experience for users and visitors."

Likewise, the councilor emphasized the importance of conservation as the basis of service quality, ensuring in this regard that "taking care of what we have is the best investment and keeping the Marina in optimal conditions is to protect public heritage and reinforce the image of Marbella as a top-tier nautical destination." For his part, Carlos Romero, the director of the Marina, highlighted the importance of daily management of the site. "Maintaining a port requires constant supervision and immediate response capability. This contract will allow us to act swiftly in the face of storms, runoff, or incidents that may affect the safety of users, workers, and boats."

Enhancement of Cleaning

The plan includes enhancing the cleaning of about 13,000 square meters of public areas and offices, especially during peak periods such as Easter or summer. "The port's activity is continuous and requires permanent conservation work on pavements, anti-slip painting on pontoons, review of electrical installations, and periodic hygienic-sanitary treatments," Romero noted. The planned actions include improvements to bollards, manholes, walls, dock surfaces, and pedestrian areas, ensuring safer, more functional facilities prepared for the site's daily activity.

With this multi-year investment, the Marbella City Council reinforces its commitment to maintenance, conservation, and continuous improvement of the Marina, consolidating it as a key infrastructure for the economy, tourism, and the international image of the municipality.
