Marín announces a competitive merit-based call for a permanent port police position

The Port Authority of Marín and Ría de Pontevedra announces a permanent position for a port police officer through a merit-based competition in a restricted shift for the state-owned port system. The call is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) no. 205, dated October 23, 2026, within the State Administration section, with the official reference 2026074476. The announcement was signed in Marín on October 20, 2026, by the president of the entity, José Benito Suárez Costa.

The text appears under the heading of the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility and Puertos del Estado, and includes the call in Galician and Spanish with identical content. This is a recruitment process in a restricted shift for the state-owned port system, meaning a modality that the announcement itself limits to that scope and which is resolved by the evaluation of merits rather than an exam.

The position is registered under the III Collective Agreement of State Ports and Port Authorities, the conventional framework that regulates the conditions of the permanent labor staff of the port authorities. The announcement limits the information published in the gazette to the essential data of the call and refers the complete conditions to the regulatory bases of the process.

A single port police position

The call comprises a single position, with the following characteristics detailed in the announcement:

• Job position: port police officer, classified in Group III, Band 2, Level 3.
• Number of positions: one (1) effective.
• Contract type: permanent.
• Selection system: merit-based competition.
• Regime: permanent labor staff subject to the III Collective Agreement of State Ports and Port Authorities.
• Applicant requirements: those established in base IV of the regulatory bases of the process.

The announcement does not detail the syllabus, the evaluable merits, nor the specific conditions for participation in the provincial gazette, but instead expressly refers to those regulatory bases. Therefore, anyone interested in applying must consult the full document before preparing the application.

Merit competition and reference to the bases

The chosen system is a merit-based competition, meaning the selection is resolved through the evaluation of the merits provided by the applicants and not through a knowledge test. The announcement does not specify the scoring or the weighting criteria, which are fixed in the regulatory bases.

The publication in the BOPPO serves as the official announcement of the call, while the development of the process is based on the bases accessible electronically and in person. The integrity of the published document can be verified with the secure verification code 3VA3CWQSISZR9MST.

Ten business days deadline

The deadline for submitting applications is ten business days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra. The text itself establishes that, if the final day of the period coincides with a Saturday or a public holiday, the count is moved to the following business day.

The rules of the call are available through four official channels:

• The notice board of the Port Authority of Marín and Ría de Pontevedra.
• The entity’s website, www.apmarin.com.
• The Puertos del Estado website.
• The General Access Point of the Administration, http://www.administracion.gob.es.

Impact for applicants

The call is of limited scope —a single position and in a restricted shift—, but it is relevant for personnel of the state port system interested in securing a permanent position as a port police officer in Marín. The deadline is short and begins immediately, therefore any interested person should consult the regulatory bases and prepare the documentation in the first business days following October 23.
