Balearic government deploys underwater ROV for coastal surveillance

The Balearic government has introduced a new underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to strengthen its coastal monitoring capabilities across the islands’ waters.

The CHASING M2 PRO is capable of carrying out inspections of port infrastructure and monitoring anchorage areas and posidonia meadows at depths of up to 300 metres.

The new kit forms part of a comprehensive coastal surveillance system operated by PortsIB, which currently comprises 22 vessels, qualified inspectors with enforcement powers, a centralised control centre, and aerial drone operations conducting ten-hour daily patrols.

The unit conducts daily inspections across all Balearic islands, with particular focus on anchorage monitoring and charter vessel activity. Since June, 82 compliance notices have been issued, primarily concerning expired documentation, incorrect declarations and charter contract violations.

🚨 LIVE Q&A: Gibraltar`s New EU Deal - What It Means for Yachting 🚨

📅 Tomorrow (Friday 13th June) at 12:00 noon CET

🎯 Topic: The game-changing UK-EU-Gibraltar agreement and its impact on yacht operations

The historic treaty announced this week will fundamentally alter how Gibraltar operates - ending its role as a "Schengen reset" destination and potentially affecting VAT-free fuel/services.

🎙️ Join our Gibraltar expert as we break down:

- End of the 90-day Schengen workaround
- New customs union implications
- What this means for provisioning
- Alternative strategies for yacht operations
- Timeline for implementation

Whether you`re a captain, owner, manager, or crew member - this affects your Mediterranean operations.

📺 JOIN THE LIVE SESSION: https://youtube.com/live/vVPBgZK602E

💬 Drop your questions below or bring them to the live session tomorrow

🔔 Set your reminders - this is essential viewing for anyone operating yachts in European waters
