Puertos Canarios has called a public auction to dispose of eleven vessels declared abandoned, with starting prices ranging from €1,000 to €12,000. The notice, processed under File 1312/2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands No. 162, of 13 August 2026 (reference BOC-A-2026-162-2919). The vessels are located in seven ports: Garachico, Playa San Juan, Puerto del Carmen, Morro Jable, Gran Tarajal, Corralejo and Playa Blanca.
