| Improving pedestrian access and promoting the use of sustainable vehicles are objectives shared by the company and the Consistory | The Mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, accompanied by the Councilor for the Environment, Cristina Mora, has shown her willingness to support the Plan for Improving Access to the Navantia Shipyards, during the meeting she held this morning with Agustín Álvarez, Director of the Shipyard, Pedro Rodríguez, Head of the Environment, and Rafael Morgade, Head of Human Resources at Navantia Cartagena.The 'Plan for Transportation to Work.

Promotion of Urban Mobility in Accesses to Navantia ', has been prepared by the Isaac Peral Chair, formed by Navantia and the UPCT, and includes measures to improve access to the shipyard, promoting sustainable mobility and the use of vehicles such as the bicycle.“These are objectives that we share, since the City Council is working to promote sustainable mobility, which is one of the pending issues of the municipality to which we must respond.

For this reason, we find it very positive that companies like Navantia prepare their own plans, and from the City Council we will support their proposal that it be included in the access adaptation project in which we are working together with the Port Authority ”, she.The different measures contemplated in this document include the adaptation of the pedestrian accesses to the shipyard, specifically the Senda de los Elefantes, which goes next to the Wall of Carlos III, with more lighting, change of pavement and elimination of parking ."The adaptation of this path will not only benefit the workers of Navantia, but also the hundreds of people from Cartagena who travel it every day since it has become a common area for sports.

In addition, the Port of Cartagena has a project to adapt the accesses to the Christmas Lighthouse, the Algameca road and the Espalmador area, which fits perfectly with Navantia's proposals ”, stated Castejón.The project presented by Navantia also includes the improvement of the La Algameca road and its transformation into a cycle-street; the expansion of car parks, the promotion of the use of bicycles and sustainable vehicles; and the promotion of teleworking and sharing.“In general, they are easy to implement measures whose benefit is very important, according to the report they have presented to us.

Since, according to the study, the reduction of trips and kilometers that would be made, if they were carried out, would mean a reduction of more than 231,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere per year.

It is a very important project that we are going to study in depth ”, highlighted the mayor.
