The Board of Directors definitively approved the Port Authority's 2024 Business Plan and gave initial approval to the 2025 Business Plan. The latter will need to be ratified by State Ports at an upcoming meeting to be held in Madrid, which will be attended by Chairman Jose Benito Suárez Costa, accompanied by the entity's management team. Both business plans align their structure with the Strategic Framework for the port system of general interest, approved in 2022, which serves as a reference document for port planning. Regarding traffic, the 2024 Business Plan projects an increase in cargo movement compared to the levels achieved in 2023, and anticipates continued and sustained growth in subsequent years. The budget outlines a scenario of maximum prudence and realism in revenue and expenditure estimates, taking into account the current economic context. The objective is to maintain investment efforts to adapt to demand needs without compromising the entity's financial equilibrium. Furthermore, the plan proposes maintaining the adjustment coefficients for vessel and cargo fees in both 2024 and 2025 to support operators. In the area of investment, the implementation of monitoring and control mechanisms for projects receiving European funding stands out. The Port Authority has been allocated funds for these projects, which include works related to energy efficiency improvements, intermodality, and fishing facilities.
