Interview by Paul Gonzalez-Morgan of www.gibraltar-shipping.com
Vicente Boluda, third generation Shipowner and President of Boluda Corporación Marítima (Boluda CM), heads one of the world’s leading and fastest growing shipping lines. They are present across the Spanish coast, Portugal, France, Italy, North and West Africa, the Indian Ocean and Latin America.
The ESG would like to bring to the public’s attention the fact that bathing water monitoring has now entered a new phase in Europe, and is now also enforced in Gibraltar. Under Directive 2006/7/EC designated bathing waters now need to comply with new standards that are twice as strict as they were prior to 2015.

The Government says it is “astonished and appalled” at the actions of the Spanish Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera (SVA) in the early hours of Sunday morning which appear to have resulted in at least one drug smuggler managing to avoid capture.
The Government of Gibraltar has said it is always receptive to genuine suggestions or proposals from any individual or group that puts its ideas forward in a constructive manner via an appropriate forum. Indeed, the Government has worked with countless individuals and groups in this respect since its election, some of them previously closely linked to the GSD.
