The **Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife** has initiated the public information process for the substantial modification and extension of the administrative concession of **Votorantim Cementos España, S.A.** The cement company, which operates a clinker milling facility at the northern end of the East Dock, has formally requested a 15-year extension of its concession period, citing the **Consolidated Text of the State Ports and Merchant Navy Law (TRLPEMM)**.
The file, managed under the presidency of **Pedro Suárez López de Vergara**, responds not only to the request for extension but also to a necessary regularization. Following a technical analysis of the request, the **Port Authority** confirmed that the area currently occupied by the entity exceeds the limits established in the original concession title. This discrepancy necessitates a substantial modification for the expansion of the area, aligning the legality of the occupied space with the operational reality of the plant.
The public exposure period will last for twenty business days, beginning the day after the announcement is published in the **Official Bulletin of the Province**. During this period, corporations, entities, and interested individuals may examine the file and submit any relevant objections. Interested parties can carry out these procedures in person at the offices located at **Avenida Francisco la Roche, 49**, or via the electronic registry of the **Port Authority’s e-Headquarters**.
This request from **Votorantim Cementos** occurs at a crucial time for the **Port of Tenerife**, which is undergoing a process of optimizing its industrial infrastructures following the recent integration of projects such as the **Hidramar Ultra dock**. The regularization of the clinker plant at the East Dock aims to provide legal certainty to a strategically important facility for the construction supply chain in the archipelago, ensuring the continuity of an industrial activity that requires stable use of port land in accordance with current regulations.
