Answer

Why do abandoned boats create problems for ports in Mallorca?

Abandoned boats can block berths, limit access ways, and create extra work for harbour staff. They also bring storage costs and administrative steps that can take time to resolve. In busy places like Portocolom, that can affect the daily running of the port even before a final decision is made.
