Answer

What happens to wrecked boats after they are recovered in Mallorca?

Recovered boats are usually stored temporarily at a municipal yard or similar facility before disposal is arranged. Because many wrecks are contaminated with fuel, oil or damaged materials, they cannot simply be recycled like ordinary waste. Specialized companies are often needed, which makes the process slower and more expensive.
