Flovac strengthens its ties to the port sector at the 2nd National Congress of Marinas in Spain
The company, which specializes in vacuum sanitation solutions, is participating in the sector’s leading event in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and has reaffirmed its commitment to the Canary Islands Pact for Marinas (Pacto de Canarias por las Marinas).
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, November 6, 2026 – Flovac participated in the 2nd National Congress of Spanish Marinas, held on November 4–5 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The event brought together marina managers, public authorities, companies, and industry professionals to address key issues affecting the management and future of Spanish marinas.
As a Principal Partner of "Marinas de España" (Spanish Marinas), this leader in environmental solutions for port facilities took part in an edition focused on the role of marinas as infrastructure linked to coastal development. Key topics included the modernization of facilities, sustainability, innovation, operational management, and the relationship between the sector and public authorities.
Flovac’s involvement also included a highly technical component on Wednesday, November 4. The company participated in the Operations and Maintenance Committee—one of five working groups where marina professionals shared their needs, experiences, and potential strategies to improve facility management.
In this context, Flovac contributes its expertise in vacuum sanitation systems—a technology uniquely suited to port environments and marinas, given the specific characteristics of such facilities. The company develops solutions for nautical and port infrastructure that focus on efficient wastewater management, the reduction of environmental impact, and the ability to monitor and control systems.
The Congress also enabled Flovac to maintain direct contact with port managers and companies through working sessions, B2B professional meetings, and various networking spaces provided throughout the event. The format combined an analysis of issues common to the sector with the exchange of experiences and solutions applicable to the day-to-day management of marinas. The company has also strengthened its alignment with the objectives of the gathering by joining the "Canary Islands Pact for Marine Areas" (Pacto de Canarias por las Marinas), which was signed at the conclusion of the Congress by around fifty public and private entities.
The document establishes a set of principles and commitments aimed at moving toward marinas that are more sustainable, competitive, and open to society. Its areas of focus include the modernization of facilities, public-private collaboration, protection of the marine environment, improved efficiency, innovation, digitalization, and the need to create conditions that sustain and increase investment in marinas.
Flovac’s adherence to this Pact builds upon its ongoing work with *Marinas de España* (Marinas of Spain) and its presence in a sector where sanitation, efficient water management, and the integration of new technologies directly impact the sustainability and daily operations of these facilities.
The 2nd National Congress of *Marinas de España*, held under the theme "Strategic Infrastructure for Coastal Development," brought together representatives from marinas across Spain, as well as public authorities, companies, and industry organizations, over the course of two days. The first day was dedicated to the technical work of five committees, while the second day focused on bringing key issues into the realm of institutional dialogue through presentations and eight panel discussions.
