Spain awards €54m in coastal surveillance contracts

€54 million in coastal surveillance contracts covers Spain’s Canary Islands and three other coastal areas. Mallorca is not named in the announcement. The fixed systems spot arriving boats in real time, and Spain’s Interior Ministry has awarded contracts to maintain them, according to a notice published on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

The systems are known as the Integrated Exterior Surveillance System, or SIVE. The notice says they help combat drug trafficking and manage immigration. The maintenance contracts cover the Canary Islands, the Atlantic–Strait zone, the south-east and Levante.

Escribano Mechanical & Engineering has won four of the five contracts: €14,295,000 for the Canary Islands, €15,498,000 for the Atlantic–Strait zone, €10,449,600 for the south-east and €12,446,400 for Levante. TRC Informatica has won the €1,383,000 contract for logistics support. European Union funds for border management and visa policy finance the programme.
