MOTRIL port is set to receive new subsidies for its Spain to north Africa sailings. The move will see the sailings between Spain and north Africa subsidised by the Spanish government. -- ADVERTISEMENT --The government had previously offered the subsidies to ports in Malaga and Almeria for their north Africa sailings, calling them a public service. The news comes after the Port Authority of Motril plans to give the fish market “the prominence it deserves”, and has drawn up plans for a “comprehensive remodeling that improves competitiveness and visibility”. The Port of Motril has also submitted plans to the European Union to seek innovation funds for a project to place photovoltaic panels on the roof of the fish market to reduce energy costs.
