Answer
What kind of boats and operators can bid for the Palma pier concession?
Only charter companies with at least two vessels or marina operators can bid for the concession at Palma's excursion pier. That makes the process much more selective than a normal public tender. Smaller family-run operators are unlikely to qualify unless they join forces with others.
