Last April 5th<\/sup> the project for the expansion of Corralejo’s Harbour was presented in the Municipal Auditorium. According to the statistics of the Canary Island Government, this harbour gets the largest number of visitors in all the islands, even outnumbering those in Playa Blanca, Morro Jable and Agaete.
\nThe figures in the year 2013 record 912.174 passengers (853.886 through regular line and 58.288 on day trips) and 212.227 vehicles (167.078 cars and 45.149 industrial vehicles)
\nThe conditions of this harbour at present do not fulfill the present demand, as there isn’t enough room for all the boats that need it \u2014there is a long waiting list of boats looking for berth\u2014, it lacks appropriate lighting and a petrol station where boats can refuel, with all the risks that transporting jerry cans with fuel entails.
\nMoreover, it doesn’t count on a dry-dock to clean and repair the boats.
\nIt seems that all these deficiencies will be sorted out by the implementation of this project by the \u201cPlan de puertos de la Comunidad Aut\u00f3noma\u201d, which represents a running cost of 40 million Euros and that the Canary Island Government has declared as of exceptional public interest.
\nThe aim is to provide Corralejo with a large berth marina living up to expectations, so that water and leisure activities can be enhanced, such as boat trips to Lanzarote or to the islet of Lobos, while modernizing the facilities for traditional fisheries. All this will mean a new attraction to some visitors looking for a different tourism \u2014such as water tourism\u2014 instead of the mass sun and beach tourism.
\nAmong the reforms to be implemented at Corralejo’s Harbour we must highlight the restoration of berths for the ships that communicate our island to the neighbour Lanzarote (Playa Blanca) and also very important to highlight the creation of a new additional marina, which will be located to the North of the present harbour.
\nThe environmental impact assessment has taken particular care of the design of the new dock so as not to interfere with the wonderful views of the islet of Lobos and Lanzarote, paying maximum respect for the surrounding landscape.
\nThe expansion, in figures, will mean 38.900m2<\/sup> of earth surface, that added to the existing ones will become 68.900m2<\/sup>, and the expansion in the surface of sheltered water will reach 68.900m2<\/sup>, 14.000m2<\/sup> of which will be developed as commercial harbour, 55.700m2<\/sup> as marina (with 767 berths) and 125.000m2<\/sup> as outer dock.
\nThe license of the petrol station has been awarded, for 15 years, to Domofuture Green Alliance, which will need an estimated capital outlay of 750.000\u20ac and will have to supply fuel to fishermen at subsidised prices plus one cent, and to recreational boats at the stipulated price by the \u201cLey de Tasas del Gobierno de Canarias\u201d plus two cents of Euro.<\/p>\n

This project was registered by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment\u00a0 on 12th<\/sup> August 2013, after being approved in the environmental impact statement on the 27th<\/sup> May by the Commission on Land management and Environment in the Canary Islands\u2014 a long process whose study considered 15 different alternatives and institutional environmental queries\u2014and it was drawn up by the consulting company Viatrio Ingenieros S.L.
\n<\/i>Right now it’s awaiting to be passed and assigned in the Matitine-Terrestrial public Domain.<\/i><\/p>\n
