Ligurian Ports and NAPA steal the scene to "trasport logistic" of Monk
"I do not have nothing against the investments assumed for the Adriatic arc", Forcieri (Spezia explains), but it specifies: "from Liguria ports are a strong and solid truth and not a virtual scene"

Even if - as has declared the president of the Harbour Authority of, Lorenzo Forcieri - the will of the three allied from Liguria ports in the association Ligurian Ports "is not that to oppose to the ports of the Northern Range, but to contribute to improve the total efficiency of the "Europe system"", in this European system they figure harbour regions with which the alignment of the three from Liguria ports of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona sure in is opened competition. One of these is the system of the ports north-adriati reunited us in the alliance NAPA (North Adriatic Port Association), in which they figure the ports of call of Koper, Ravenna, Rijeka, Trieste and Venice.
Such antagonism is emerged in occasion of a debate held yesterday to the fair "transport logistic" of Monk of Bavaria during the convention on "the Italian logistic platform to the center of the traffics between Europe, Countries of the Mediterranean and East", that it has accommodated two round tables with protagonists the ports and Italian interposing you (you anticipate the presidents of Assoporti and Unione To interpose to you Reunited) and in particular the system of from Liguria ports represented from Ligurian Ports and the system of the ports of Alto Adriatico di NAPA, as well as the Interporto of Bologna.
Standard-bearer of the German counterpart to the convention has been the DSLV - Deutscher Speditions- und Logistikverband (German Association Shipment and Logistics). However, rather than I confront between Italy and Germany, it is emerged I compare all Italian (also increased, for NAPA, to the coast oriental of the Adriatic).
Concluding the convention the Ambassador of Italy in Germany, Michele Valensise, has placed the accent exclusively on the Adriatic corridor. Immediate the retort of the flagman of Ligurian Ports, Lorenzo Forcieri: "I do not have nothing against the investments assumed for the Adriatic arc - the president of the port of has explained - but we cannot neglect truth as ours that can grow soon and well in the interest of the entire Country, if the Third Pass and the Pontremolese finally saw under way to solution the realization of two important works which".
Forcieri has emphasized the economic importance of from Liguria ports of call in the context of the entire Italian harbour system and has restated that "from Liguria ports are a strong and solid truth and not a virtual scene". "The system of from Liguria ports - it has specified - is more and more competitive, with its almost three millions and a half of container enlivened in the last year and an increase that continues to two figures also in the 20011 and Harbour Authority of Genoa, Savona and La Spezia, is working in order to integrate it ulteriorly".
"We have - Forcieri has said - a precise indication, that we collect: the market is characterizing in our from Liguria system the answer to various problems and the requirements of more and more elevated efficiency. We answer with the acceleration of the realization of new docks and the operations of dredging, as well as with the implementation of all the computer science systems. We are opened to the private investments and the collaborations public/private".
"Today, with the increase of the traffics from and for Far East - it has concluded Forcieri - many reasons militate for the ports of the south of the Mediterranean, are in economic terms are environmental: not only the 5/6 days of navigation in less, but also a contribution to the observance of the directives EU in matter of reduction of co2. It is true that ulterior infrastructural participations are necessary, but from Liguria ports are a strong truth and solid and not a virtual scene, and, I hold to specify it, also in the terrestrial connections we are not per year zero! Already today every day connections exist towards Rotterdam, Antwerp, Herne; trisettimanali towards Switzerland; the biweekly towards Ulm and Amburgo, solo in order to cite of some, to equatable costs with those of the others European drafts, although famous infrastructural limits".
