“I do not understand how the Port continues to insist on closing spaces to citizens.” This is how the mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, expressed himself yesterday about the installation at the back of the old Jet Foil station of a pilot project to supply gas to ships. The alderman acknowledged that the Port did not officially inform him about the installation of the gas plant. “I knew it unofficially because I sent a guasap to the president asking him about the matter,” he indicates.
Bermúdez points out that “we are talking about an area that has been used for leisure activities for years, which is freely accessible, the only area where one can walk and look out over the sea in the most urban core of the city. I think it’s nonsense to do things like that, just as I think it should already be a city. It is a part that has been used before and during as a city area”.
From the Port it was clarified last Friday that the space of the old station is still open in its front part, although it is true that the rear part, the one that faces the sea, has been closed. The reason is the launch of a pilot project to supply gas to the Maritime Rescue ship that docks at the North dock, a work that only occupies one end of the terminal that, insists the Port, does not close the passage through the area.
