Answer

What makes Palma port an important point for drug enforcement?

Palma port is a major entry point for ferries, passengers, vehicles, and goods, which makes it a practical place for police and customs to intervene. Because so much movement passes through the port, traffickers may try to use it to move hidden cargo onto the island. That is why coordinated checks there matter for Mallorca.
