Fiom-Cgil, the sixth basin is of vital importance for the future of the naval repairs to Genoa



In an participation on the genoese daily paper "the Century XIX" the former mayor of Genoa Giuseppe Pericu asks if it is indeed necessary to equip the port of the capital of Liguria of the superbasin, that is a sixth dry dock of suitable dimensions to receive the more modern ships ( on December 5, 2007 and 21 Decembers 2010). In its Pericu reflection it remembers the event of the incomplete one and made unusable floating superbasin that was sold and left the port of Genoa in 1997 ( on 28 July 1997)

To the participation of Pericu Fiom-Cgil answers, that it considers the sixth basin "of vital importance for the future of the naval repairs". Emphasizing that the questions placed from Pericu "are the same ones that sets a part of the city, that is that of those citizens that moves always the questions on, the important is that nothing changes", the labor organization retort to the question mark on the created places of work evidencing that "they are beyond 3.500 that today they are occupied in the naval repairs naturally increased of thousand workers in the previewed induced one for the activity on ships of beyond 300 meters, total job 4.500 places".

According to Fiom-Cgil, "the former mayor makes confusion and he does not know the naval repairs". "The labor highly is specialized and in almost the Italian totality, if not genoese", it emphasizes the union and it specifies that the mentioned Croatian workers in the participation of Pericu to which it has been made resorted in the past "were present welders for peaks of working and on unfortunately devoid professionalities on Genoa".

To the question mark of the former mayor on the level of technological content of the activities tied to the sixth basin Fiom-Cgil observes that such activities "do not carry out exclusively repairs more for a long time but also constructions with hulls to the vanguard in the world".

Moreover, it adds the union, "to wonder if the market of the repairs is in increase, wants to say not to read the genoese daily paper neither. It has been felt to speak about an interest of genoese companies to move to Marseilles? Because - Fiom-Cgil explains - the future is on the great hulls: Genoa that continues to make questions risks to lose not the future, but also it anticipates".

With respect to the costs and to as they damp, the union it observes that "the question goes turned directly to the Harbour Authority, only subject that with clarity this has said that it thinks".

"It minds - the Naval responsible Riparazioni of Fiom-Cgil concludes, Giuseppe Durante - than in so little time forgets to us about activity that they are a point of excellence of this city, us it seems to remember that same architect Piano asserted to it. Today a new and illustrious supporter is numbered between who he supports a move elsewhere, because about this he speaks himself, if not part with the sixth basin. It is right to support that in this part of city it is necessary to have a project of with, but the Mr. Pericu because asks it today? And because does the entirety project exclude already something and someone? We are in order not to exclude nobody, but they must be dates various priorities, the increase, the job, the places where last wealth and for also free time is produced, and we are not interested to, more or less veiled, exclusively real estate projects on areas that must remain productive".
