To Whom It May Concern

Re : Eastside
After being briefed by the company that was appointed to carry out an environmental
impact study on the possibility of east side bunkering and after having considered the
consequences of this activity, at the Caleta Hotel we can only be against any kind of
bunkering.

Bunkering is totally against the nature of our industry and certainly not an environmentally
friendly activity. The consequences of such activity will result in water pollution, noise
pollution and smells. This is totally detrimental to our business and will spoil forever the
only unpolluted coast left in Gibraltar.

While we can understand and appreciate the commercial opportunities that such activities
might bring to Gibraltar PLC,it is totally detrimental to the environment and our industry. It
will jeopardise any future tourism development in Gibraltar and affect the residential areas
enormously.

The hotel will vigorously oppose such activity.
