In an interpellation submitted in recent days, the regional council of Sardinia and Pier Luigi Caria Bruno Mario Democratic Party (PD) have requested the President of the Region and the Regional Councillor for Transport what immediate action the council intends to implement to enable the Enermar shipping company to provide its services in a productive and cost-effective.
The private company Enermar, in fact, announced the termination of services of maritime transport services between Palau and La Maddalena to the first days of next month, complaining that, as a result of its application to the Regional Administrative Court - recalled Regional Councillors - Sardinia Region has issued a call for tenders for the award of public service night shipping links with the smaller islands where the requirements would put the company formerly subsidized foster the overnight connection in advantageous position.The latter is the Delcomar, also private, which together with the Saremar, a public company controlled by the Region of Sardinia, and the Enermar operates ferry services between Palau and La Maddalena.
Enermar said it is not opposed to public subsidies for the conduct of racing at night, but - indicating it is ready to carry passengers on the route free of Palau - La Maddalena at night - has urged the region to convene a special race.
"Enermar - replied administrator Delcomar, Franco Del Giudice - will not keep agreements, let alone promises to free rides at night." "The company - has accused the court - goes on to say that by March 1 will stop racing, but there is a written agreement with the Region to provide the service until March 31. So the company is unreliable. " Pointing out that two years Delcomar claim the ban on night rides, the judge added that "the real objective of Enermar links are the most profitable day, where the true interests are at stake. And if he had both become a monopolist. I'm ready - he concluded - to give me the night in exchange for their service during the day.I do not understand this controversy since it will be decided on the day and night for a public tender. Or they do not want and aim to have a monopoly? Ben is the free market. "
