ISO CERTIFICATIONS
BLUE FLAG
Awarded the Blue Flag continuously since 2012, Alcaidesa Marina demonstrates its sustainability commitment through environmental management and marine safety standards. In accordance with Blue Flag requirements, it promotes environmental education and awareness among marina customers, local residents and the wider community. Activities include the annual ‘Discover Your Harbour’ programme, seabed clean-ups and other environmental education initiatives throughout the year.
Since 2015, we have held a Good Environmental Practices agreement with the Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras. It provides a 15% reduction in the activity levy, which is reinvested in environmental improvements at the harbour. Each year we reinvest well over the 50% required by the agreement. This ongoing investment has enabled key improvements including drainage and retention grilles in the boatyard, LED lighting, photovoltaic energy and, progressively since 2018, a remote metering system for smart management of utility consumption at pontoon pedestals.
