As a consequence of the declaration of the state of alarm/emergency in Spain last Saturday March 14 (Royal Decree 463/2020), caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, and the inherent need to manage the health crisis situation, last Tuesday March 17 the Minister of Transport of the Spanish Government issued out an Order (TMA/247/2020) establishing the transport measures applied to the connections between Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands.

The fee was due to come into force by last January 1st, 2020 but on December 18th, the APB Council decided to suspend it temporarily due to the strong unease and controversy it caused in the local yachting industry. The rate ranges from 1.5% to 3.5% on the turnover of the Companies rendering such services within the service areas of those ports and the specific percentage will depend on the kind of authorization held (permanent or temporary) and whether the services are being undertaken in those facilities expressly dedicated to repair&refit activities or in other different port facilities. The most common scenario will be that the works are carried out in those facilities expressly dedicated to such [...]
