ANPAN, the general picture of the marine industry are passed by "black" "to gray"



It is still a uncertainty phase that which characterizes world-wide the marine industry and, therefore, the field of the naval supplies. The impact of the economic recession is accused in different measure in the several world-wide areas and so also the incidence of the resumption is various from region to region. Such situation of open-endedness of the market is evidenced by the National Association Naval Contractors Provveditori (ANPAN), than it has met last weekend in assembly to Venice in Palazzo Erizzo - Ligabue, historical dwelling of Anacleto Ligabue, its first president "honorary", let alone promoter and father of the association that this year celebrates anniversary own 40°.

In the report, that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics", the directive council of the ANPAN presided by Alfredo Tosato has evidenced as 2010 are not passed as in the general expectations, with strong signs of resumption, but also in the positive sign, has evidenced a slow progress and wide beneath of the esteem. The association has emphasized as in a so little identifiable panorama the Italian shipowners have however bravely chosen to invest in new constructions, decision that - it has found ANPAN - "will sure allow with our armament of flag to face very positively the hoped resumption of the world-wide traffics".

Also the section of the naval supplies is not escaped to the impact negative of the economic crisis and is subordinate to the effects determined from the next climate of uncertainty. This general picture - it has observed ANPAN - induces the shipowners to a compression of the operating costs and to place great attention to every type of saving, above all regarding the consumption of the technical area, "where we assist - it has explained the association - to continuous cuts and reductions of the orders that our associates then are called to supply". However - according to ANPAN - the increment of the new constructions, that it sees the remarkable involvement of the Italian shipowners, produces to new possibility for orders first supply, than also spread in the time, they constitute good opportunity for the section of the ship chandlers.

The relation among other things dedicates to a wide digression to the increasing litigation in existence between terminalisti and ship chandlers, as these last ones today is often called to operate in harbour zones identified as "private terminals".
