Debate on material and immaterial infrastructures of the port of Genoa to the assembly of Spediporto
For those materials, local authorities and government say that this time there are. Of harbour areas - according to institutions and operators - us of they are also too many
March 28, 2011
In new the Slowly National of the Logistic figure Unico Doganale Door and this it certainly constitutes a victory for the Association Shippers Couriers and Conveyors of Genoa (Spediporto) that during the last few years the institution to the aim has invoked some insistently to simplify the operations of import and export by means of an only document transmission for via data transmission.
"To see understood between the 51 priorities of the National Plan of the Logistics the requests that Spediporto in the course of the last assemblies launch to the government in matter of logistic services, norms, rules and data transmission - the president of the association has confirmed with satisfaction, Roberta Oliaro - it is for me reason of great satisfaction".
The Unico Doganale Door is not only one of the objectives of this programmatico document. Article 1 of I decree n. 242 of Prime Minister of ministers on November 4, 2010, that he defines the terms of conclusion of the administrative procedures that concur to the performance of the customs operations of import and export, has in fact sanctioned its institution near the offices of the Agency of Customs.
The satisfaction of the association to in the report traspare obvious of the directive council to the assembly of Spediporto, met this morning to Genoa near the Galata Museum of the Sea, that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics". A relation almost lacking than you blunt critics regarding assumed the political and operating measures from the local and national institutions, than previously traditionally they were goaded by the analyses of the association.
Taking part to the assembly the mayor of Genoa, Marta Vincenzi, it has appreciated "the expressed less pessimistic considerations" from the summit of Spediporto. They seem disappearances, for example, the worries of the genoese harbour community for the deficiency of harbour areas that in recent years plagued the cluster of which the shippers take part. Quite there is a fear of opposite sign. It is that express from the president of the Region Liguria, Claudio Burlando: "the worry - the governor has said - is not to succeed to saturate the spaces on hand". Of the same warning president of Assiterminal (Italian Associazione Terminalisti Harbour), Alessandro Giannini, second which, with an ability that for the single from Liguria ports of Genoa and Savona without to count La Spezia will go up in 4-5 years to four million container teu, an offer excess can be looked on to "".
The opinion to inform
We afford to advise to the shippers, to the harbour cluster and the genoese institutions some precaution. Without to today get to the point of many projects and initiatives mentioned in the course of the assembly of Spediporto and data for acquired, we limit ourselves to observe that almost the totality of these works and programs is not put into effect and not even not started and do not have even a cover financial institution.
We are very conscious that recent the serious economic crisis has changed the papers in plank. However that to which we are assisting is schizophrenia symptom. There is, for example, in the Italian harbour field and the same genoese harbour community who shows scenes of increase of the traffic of the container to two figures and the necessity to realize new works in order to satisfy the question and who leaves to intend that the current harbour infrastructures could be sufficient in order to satisfy the necessities in the years to come. Maliciously we could observe that such genoese analysis risks to inflict a mortal blow to being been born the terminal of the Maersk group to Vado Ligure.
In order to introduce an element of critic in a dogmatic day, we observe moreover that the analysis of the directive one of Spediporto appears to be censorious only in confronts of the road haulage, accused of being "the field that in absolute it has received more from the State in terms of facilities, normative contributions and participations". Al beyond choice of association to make use of results of study of administration governmental American, that she appears to light misleading of the enormous differences that elapse between the Italian system Geo-economic and that American, we limit ourselves to find that the road haulage will continue to being for many years one of the main services of which the port of Genoa it will have to be made use and that, although this, the capital of Liguria is not still successful to equip itself of a simple car park.

Also the anxiety for the lacked realization connection infrastructures of the port of Genoa with the markets seems to be itself almost dissolved. "I believe - the regional president has declared - than these infrastructures I will make" and that "the third pass will be made also", that is the railway line Genoa-Milan asked from decades from the genoese operators.
To esternare doubts it has been instead the president of the Province of Genoa. Alessandro Repetto has them but in he confronts of the initiative of the joined new of the Piemonte Region that, in order to coordinate the logistic development between Liguria and Piedmontese territory, has proposed to institute a corridor society that includes the ports, private the territorial and subject agencies, project evidently in conflict with the SLALA mission, the foundation constituted (as society) in 2003 from from Liguria and Piedmontese local authorities with the objective to promote logistic infrastructures and areas.
The president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, Luigi Merlo, has brought back the attention on "immaterial infrastructures" and in particular on the customs only door, for which five million euros have asked the government the deep ones for about that would be necessary in order to realize a center only pilot in the capital of Liguria.
Also the undersecretary to Infrastructures and the Transports, Bartolomeo Giachino, hoping that "this is the year of the logistics", he has perceived "a new climate regarding the precedence assemblies". "Given to the situation of the accounts publics - it has found - the better thing that we can make is debit course to the actions of the Plan of the Logistics, that they are actions to cost zero". The first already put into effect - it has specified Giachino - is that on the times of attended to the aims of the previewed cargo and of the drainage in transport contracts that is defined last week in an appropriate one I decree managing ( on 25 March 2011).
Diametrically opposite the opinion of the president of Assiterminal is on decrees on the times of cargo and drainage, than - according to Giannini - on purpose seems made in order to open a farragine of litigations, is domestically of the Logistics that - it has denounced - "it sees disregarded the requests of the marine cluster". Also Spediporto is of the warning that with I decree on the times of drainage and markup of the containers "is being tried to force the quadrature of a problem that we consider impossible to resolve on the base of a sanzionatorio approach"; according to the association of the shippers the solution of the problem of the improvement of the times would have instead to pass through the location of "best practices" shared between the actors of the logistic row and through I use it of computer science systems that optimize the procedures of arrival warning, reservation, of cargo and drainage.
Luigi Grillo, president of the Commission Lavori and communications of the Senate, have.blamed the Railroads of the State and the Cociv consortium in order not to have still found an agreement blocking the start of the first functional lottery of the third railway pass, for which - he has remembered - "there are already in safe 750 million euros", a cover financial institution of the work that - it has emphasized - is defended in spite of some purposes to address it towards other employs not being still used.
