What is the private use of maritime space?
It is the use by reserving an area or volume for the use of the marine environment or resources or ecosystem services superior to that obtained by common use and that results in an advantage for the public interest.
The right to private use of the national maritime space is granted by concession, license or authorization, regardless of the nature and legal form of its holder. It is formalized in the form of 'title of private use of the maritime space', briefly TUPEM.
TUPEM modalities
The concessions, licenses and authorizations for private use of the national maritime space are granted for a certain period, which is fixed taking into account the nature and size of the project, and in some cases (concessions) the period of time necessary for amortization and remuneration, being contractually foreseen extensions are permitted, up to a maximum limit of 50 years.
Concession
The private use of the national maritime space that makes prolonged use of an area or volume is subject to prior concession.

The concession fee is due for the private use of the national maritime space, except for the private use for the revelation and use of geological and energy resources.
