Expired the term for the presentation of the offers, on the table of the extraordinary commissioner of Tirrenia it remains only the proposal of Italian Company of Navigation



That of the Italian Company of Navigation (CIN) is the only offer remained in contest for the acquisition of Tirrenia ( on 16 March 2011). Expired the terms for the presentation of the proposals some society has today not been made ahead and on the table of the extraordinary commissioner of Tirrenia, Giancarlo D' Andrea, it has only remained the offer of network CIN constituted from the Gianluigi Aponte shipowners, than work in the field of the ferries with Great companies SNAV and Navi Veloci (GNV), Emanuele Grimaldi of the Neapolitan shipowning group Grimaldi and Vincenzo Onorato, president of Moby. In sight of the expiration of today's term CIN it would have attached ulterior documentation to the offer, that it would have a value of 380 million euros, to the aim to improve it.

Now the procedure would have to preview forwards of the documentation of offer to the committee of surveillance and the ministry of the economic Development that will have to express their binding opinion.

Discounted - according to the general secretary of Uiltrasporti, Giuseppe Caronia - the outcome of this last phase of the contest for the privatization of Tirrenia. "As he was by now wide expectable - it has found the trade-union representative - the only binding offer for the acquisition of Tirrenia has been
that of the Italian Company Navigation. As I have already said previously not there is some doubt that the associates of this newco, made however the due differences, not only represent the best of the shipowning imprenditoria of the Country and of the Country, but is equally obvious that draft however of the same shipowners owners of the totality of the today concurrent societies of Tirrenia, company that, except improbable scene stealers, will be adjudicated in the next hours. We are worried therefore that, in reason of an expectable rationalization of the connections up to now altogether insured persons, can themselves be introduced occupational problems in the near future.

"I want to this point to wish to me - it has continued Caronia - than the same attention that wide fields of politics, the mass media and the public opinion have intentional until today reserving to the thematic ones of so-called "the beloved-rates", on which personally me they are already clearly express, now come opportunely revolt to the problematic ones of the workers to which guarantees and certainties will have to be assured on their future. I want therefore to hope that finally the government realizes that he cannot more stave off to I confront with the union and the new property of Tirrenia which will have in its turn preliminarily to sign for acceptance the engagements already assumed from the executive about the occupational guarantees and the contractual continuity".

"The sfiancati workers of Tirrenia from an agony that lasts by now from too much time, whose responsibility is not in no ascribable way to they - have concluded the general secretary of Uiltrasporti - they have a great desire "to recommence" and of giving the their effective contribution to I throw again of this glorious society, but at the same time they are not available for no reason to sometimes renounce to the their sacrosanct rights conquered in the time with enormous sacrifices and fights a lot
hard. They wish and they demand therefore that, to happened award, it is opened immediately I confront trade-union and those indispensable understandings reach that, only in this case, will be able to assure a profitable and intense summery activity".

Commenting the outcome of the contest procedure, the general secretary of Fit-Cisl, Giovanni Luciano, it has emphasized that "the privatization of Tirrenia is one unwinds crucial in the new order of the marine transports in Italy. It is necessary - it has observed - to conclude in immediate the location of the new society, putting fine to a cloudy phase that is dragged too much from time, without to melt the substantial nodes of the cession of the public company".

"We restate the necessity - it has added Luciano - to make clarity on the future of Tirrenia, starting I confront of merit, concrete and ultimativo with the unions in all the centers, is institutional, to the greater level, is business. The necessity to guarantee to the marine transport efficient connections to contained costs is never urgent how much, so that exceeded the bureaucratic procedures it can be guaranteed in the concrete the occupation and the salary of all the workers, with the certainty of services of quality and indispensable routes for the associate-productive life of particularly fragile areas of the Country".

"The privatization of Tirrenia - the general secretary of Fit-Cisl has restated - will not be able to happen without a direct involvement of the workers, a sharing of the development and enterprise plans, the location of opportune guarantees in order to complete, without traumas, neither offer reductions this transformation".

"We wait for trusting until from the next hours - it has concluded Luciano - positive news destined to clear the field from the too many uncertainties and the silences of this phase, in order to resolve the eventual real nodes that remain to face, before to see to be born an important new company of Italian navigation. The controversies of these days on the beloved rates on the routes for the Sardinia say it long on which effects they could be produced by sea on the traffic if it opportunely were not addressed. The contributions previewed for burdens of public service guarantee the shipowners for a consistent period, as many tangible guarantees go offered to the workers and to the citizens who depend on the marine connections".
