What the buyer is looking for
The service to be contracted is the cleaning of floating waste from the docks of the Port of Barcelona as well as the participation and collaboration with other port service providers for the implementation of the Maritime Interior Plan (PIM). The general territorial scope of provision of the service is the port protected water area (zone I), including the spring of the docks and the slopes of the breakwater breakwaters. At the request of the APB, the territorial scope of the provision of services must be extended to those areas that it indicates, either by incorporating new surfaces of water sheets currently not existing, or for other reasons. These possible extensions will always be within the internal waters of the port. Exceptionally and always at the prior request of the Port Authority of Barcelona (APB) occasional cleaning and support work may be carried out in the fight against pollution in open port waters (zone II).
