"Isla Blanca" ferry could go into operation at any time
“Isla Blanca” operará en cualquier momentor.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Employees of the Maritima company say that about 20 permits are required to operate and the "Isla Blanca" ferry has met the requirements and should be given authorization to provide passenger service soon.
In March, SEMAR (Department of the Navy) made an inspection, which removed the "Isla Blanca" from operating for violating the reformed Law of Navigation and Maritime Trade. The other ferry, "Sergio Gracia", was only authorized to transport cargo vehicles, and its passenger service was canceled, so that since then it crosses to Punta Sam with its 180 seats vacant.

This information has already been translated. The summer day camp begins July 23, lasting three weeks, and includes recreational activities and sports, as well as cultural and educational activities. This includes basketball, handball, tae kwon do, soccer and physical activities, as well as visits to sites of cultural interest such as the Tortugranja aquarium, Mundaca, Punta Sur, the archaeological site of El Meco, the Cancun planetarium, and Isla Contoy, among others. Educational activities include recycling and learning about ecology and the environment.

Accident between cab and motorcycle

The driver of a scooter, Juan N., said the accident between his vehicle and a taxi was the cabbie's fault. He was taken away in the Red Cross ambulance for evaluation, after the accident occurred near the Middle School on Rueda Medina avenue, and both vehicles were taken to the impound yard while responsibility is being determined.
The Punta Sam ferry is still not providing passenger service due to instructions from the Department of the Navy (SEMAR), which is causing dissatisfaction among tourists who then must go to or return to Puerto Juarez. The Maritima company hasn't issued an official update, but it is said that they have met the safety requirements and are waiting for SEMAR to authorize passenger service, which they provide for lower prices.
Beaches that are clean & safe
Playas limpias y seguras [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Work is being done to ensure the beaches of Isla Mujeres are safe and clean during this summer holiday season when 15,000 visitors are expected daily, with coordination between various agencies at all three levels of government. This includes the Department of the Navy (SEMAR), the Mexican Red Cross, the Integral Port Administration of Quintana Roo (APIQRoo), the Federal Maritime Terrestrial Zone (ZOFEMAT), the Department of Public Security and Municipal Transit, the Department of Civil Protection and Fire, Ministry of Health, Aguakan and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).
Occupancy is at 75% and increasing, according to the Mayor. He said, "We want this vacation to be profitable for everyone, not only for our visitors, who can enjoy clean and beautiful beaches, and our natural beauty; but also for each service provider, hotelier, restaurateur and all the families that depend on tourism." He said he is committed to maintaining this vacation destination as one of the favorites for tourists from all over Mexico and the world
It is noted that Playa Centro has the Blue Flag designation, which requires meeting 33 criteria for quality standards.

A neighborhood committee of the La Guadalupana neighborhood, which was established as a civil association to follow the process of regularization of the 200 housing lots in the neighborhood, seems to have deviated from its purpose by endorsing the sale of two properties, which has generated disagreement, according to residents Leonor Hernández, Víctor Aké and María Moreno.
Expansion of the Maritime Terminal postponed
Posponen ampliación de la terminal marítima[+] Ver masFull article at this link
The project to expand the APIQRoo (state Port Authority) Maritime Terminal into the parking lot area won't take place until next year. The expansion should increase the size of the facility by about one third, which is expected to be a waiting area for passengers going to the Cancun Hotel Zone.
The delay is due to the fact that the agreement has not been completed for the use of part of the property of the Ministry of Communications and Transport (SCT) where the dock of the Harbor Master's Office is located, which is scheduled extend about 15 meters to compensate for the space this expansion would occupy. By the way, on the map, the lot of the SCT appears as a property of the Department of the Navy (SEMAR).
