The Port of Malaga begins work on the future headquarters of the Tax Agency in Muelle Heredia

La opinión de Málaga.

The Port of Malaga Board of Directors has today taken the final step to activate work on what will be the future headquarters of the Tax Agency at Muelle Heredia, a project that had been stalled for more than a decade and which has finally been unblocked after extensive negotiations between administrations.

Specifically, the Port Authority has approved the tender for the works with a budget of €9,890,664.79 and an estimated completion time of 20 months.

“This facility is key to the future implementation of an office building in the port area, which will expand the range of administrative and logistical services in the area,” the port insisted in a statement.

Three years ago, the architectural firm Ingravitto announced that it would design the building for these new offices after winning the competition for ideas for the execution of the project in a joint venture with Dicyp, a nationally and internationally renowned engineering firm. The Tax Agency highlighted the “sustainability and efficiency” of the project. It will be a 5,000-square-meter building.

Other infrastructure

The Port Authority has also given the green light to the tender for the contract for the “Structural Reinforcement of the Levante Breakwater in the Port of Malaga. Phase 3,” with a budget of €2,947,693.18 and a completion period of six months. “This intervention will improve the safety and operability of the port, guaranteeing protection against storms and reinforcing the shelter conditions for maritime traffic.”

Similarly, the tender proposal for the contracting of the project management service for the corresponding works of the New Border Control Post (PCF) project, which will be located on a plot at the end of pier 6, has been accepted. This project, with a budget of €185,000 and a completion period of 18 months, will provide the port with modern facilities that comply with European regulations, facilitating the inspection and control of goods from third countries.
