Italian Compagnia di Navigazione (CIN), an alliance formed by shipowners Gianluigi Aponte (MSC companies, SNAV and GNV), Emanuele Grimaldi (Grimaldi) and Vincenzo Onorato (Moby Lines), plans to retire from the race to acquire the public company Tirrenia, a race which CIN was practically winner being the only remaining participant ( of 19 May 2011). The target, which if converted into a further decision would result in a resounding failure of the privatization of the company, Vincenzo Onorato has been anticipated by the newspaper "La Nuova Sardegna".
"Tirrenia out of the deal - said the president of the Sardinian newspaper Moby - we pull out. There are no more conditions, to move forward. And there's a culprit: the folly of Sardinia.
The Region of Sardinia has indeed decided to entrust the conduct of maritime links between the island and the mainland to Saremar, a company that was part of the Tirrenia and whose ownership - in the early stages of privatization - has been remitted to the Sardinian regional. Last week, the president of the regional, Ugo Cappellacci, together with the Transport Department has introduced the new Christian Solinas Saremar routes, which by June 15 will activate the services between the ports of Civitavecchia and Golfo Aranci and between Vado Ligure Porto Torres ( of 20 May 2011).
Asked by Umberto Aime La Nuova Sardegna "what has changed compared to before, is" that the Sardinian fleet - Onorato responded - just go down there. It is unacceptable for us - he explained - we have invested 380 million, who wanted to save 1,500 jobs and avoid the Sardinians remain isolated this winter. "
