The Isaac Peral S-81 submarine, built in Cartagena for the Spanish Navy, will be available for free public visits on 3rd October during an open day that will allow the public to explore one of the Navy’s most advanced vessels from the inside.
The submarine will be docked in the port of Cartagena, opposite Héroes de Cavite, and guided tours will take place between 16:00 and 20:00. In total, 240 places will be made available, distributed in groups of 15 people every 15 minutes.
Registrations will open on Monday 28th September at 16:00 via the Cartagena City Council website, www.cartagena.es. Each application will only allow a single person to be registered, meaning it will be necessary to complete an individual registration for each visitor. The application must include the identity document number.
The characteristics of the submarine mean that access and the tour present certain difficulties, leading to specific restrictions. Children under 6 years of age will not be able to enter, nor will individuals with reduced mobility who might encounter difficulties accessing and moving through the interior of the submarine.
Entry to the S-81 is via ladders and narrow passageways, meaning access with baby pushchairs or similar items will also be prohibited. The organisation recommends attending in comfortable footwear and clothing that facilitates movement, taking into account the gradients, ladders and confined spaces encountered along the route.
For security and access control reasons, visitors must arrive without rucksacks, handbags, waist bags, carrier bags, briefcases or other similar items. The recommendation is to arrive with hands free to facilitate both boarding and movement inside the submarine.
During the visit, taking photographs, videos, audio recordings or any other type of image or sound capture will not be permitted due to confidentiality reasons.
Once on board, the crew will accompany visitors throughout the entire tour. It will be necessary to follow their instructions at all times and respect the areas and elements that are not designated for the visit. Furthermore, equipment must not be manipulated, and doors, hatches or accesses must not be opened or closed unless the staff expressly indicates that it is permitted.
