The Mogán City Council will debate in June the formal request for an extraordinary extension of the administrative concession for the Mogán Marina, currently in effect until March 29, 2031, with the aim of regaining direct management. The concession was granted to the City Council by the Council of Ministers on February 27, 1981.

The technical and legal documentation maintains that the City Council is the only entity authorized to request an extension, according to the resolution approved by the City Council on May 7, 1987. That resolution authorized the transfer of the operation to Puerto de Mogán S.A. but maintained the City Council’s exclusive right to request a possible extension.

Regional regulations allow for the extension of marina concessions when significant investments are made on the granted area. These actions must improve aspects such as productivity, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and port services, and reach at least 20% of the updated value of the initial planned investment.

The City Council also acknowledges the existence of hundreds of holders of usage and enjoyment rights derived from transfers made over decades by Puerto de Mogán S.A. Therefore, the Plenary Session will address the commitment to preserving these rights and the future signing of collaboration agreements that will facilitate coordinated and equitable management if the extension is granted.

These agreements will aim to ensure that users maintain their rights and proportionally assume the costs associated with the expansion, such as the necessary investments and the regional tax, without prejudice against those who acquired their rights in good faith.

The report to be presented to the full council details that it was the Mogán City Council that notified the Ministry of Public Works, on February 13, 1973, of its intention to build a port and a seafront promenade in Playa de Mogán. This intention materialized on August 19, 1975, when the council requested the administrative concession and authorization for the works. Approval took several years. It was finally granted on February 27, 1981, by Order of the Council of Ministers. The Council resolved to grant the Mogán City Council authorization for the construction and operation of the Mogán Marina.
