The port in Alcudia has been affected by two closures - the partial shutdown of the Es Murterar power station ahead of its complete decommissioning in five or six years time and the end of cement production at the Lloseta Cemex plant.
Little coal is now being imported for the power station. There will be less this year than last, as Es Murterar is scheduled to operate for only 500 hours later this year compared with 1,500 hours in 2020. The loss of the coal imports has affected jobs at the port, but there is compensation in the form of cement.

In 2019, the port received 16,860 tonnes of bulk cement
