Original news





This morning, the President of the Port of Livorno, Giuliano Gallanti, presented to members of the Port Committee a first hypothesis of reorganization of the port functions of the airport labronico. Gallanti stated that it is not a draft Port Master Plan, "but - he explained - only the first step of a long and complex process, which brings us to approve the new Port Master Plan. The slogan - he added - is to clarify and provide the port development project of a future. "

The premise of the proposed new structure of the port functions is that the existing port areas are organized into promiscuous mode and messy and that is necessary for this specialized areas depending on the type of goods and traffic.In the explanatory memorandum on the new Port Master Plan presented by the head of the Port Authority, Claudio Vanni, and engineering design firm of Mark Tartaglini LWULT are, in detail, the new forecasts of the airport zoning.

These innovations contained in the Port Master Plan presented by the Port Authority:

The Port passengers and cruise passengers will continue to crowd the banks of the oldest part of the port closest to the center, or by berths and related areas, ranging from the north bank of the Elbe Quay Pier Carrara. The novelty is that the new tourist port will be dedicated around the Quay Pier by Pisa and Orlando High Bottom, to concentrate here the berths for cruise ships that currently moor in different parts of the port;

Forest products, pulp and general cargo: will be favored a more marked terminalization an area already highly dedicated. The berths to be dedicated to this specialized area ranging from the root to the southern shore of Upper Bottom Dock Ugione, including around the quay and the jetty Italy Magnale.At the root of Italy Pier was also planned the construction of an infrastructure corridor width of about 60 meters through the tomb of the slipway present along the north bank of the dock and the Caulkers change of use of areas located on the back of the north bank Calafati the dock.

Motorways of the sea: it is proposed to concentrate the ro-ro traffic, new cars and trailers in the dock areas of the industrial port of Inghirami, Benghazi and the Descent of the first half of the west bank of the Industrial Canal, to the limit of the concession areas Sintermar . In the future it is intended to move to Europe, North Pier Platform;

Multipurpose Port: terminalization will dock the east shore of Tuscany, plugging in the areas of railway property, and Terminal Paduletto terminal part of the west bank of the dock from Tuscany tooth berth aft. The Port will also have a specialized area dedicated Multipurpose the bulk of traffic, currently located on the quay Orlando.

Marina: Port Medici and the new dock, as expected, will be converted to tourist port functions.The "boats of the people" will be temporarily moved to the platform 75, provided, however, that prefigures the City in its planning tools an alternative solution, actually prosecuted, timing and means well defined.

Ship Repair: is expected to raise the ship repair activities in the area of river basins, including the platform 75 and areas of ground in the root of such basins, strictly related to their operation. As soon as the surveyor to determine the extent of remedial measures to restore the Great Basin, the Port Authority will conduct a competition for the award in the management of dry docks. Pending the reactivation of the Basin, the platform 75 will be used temporarily for boats of social circles, now allocated at the Port and Dock New Medici.

The representatives of the Port Committee mandated to Gallanti to open one or more tables for discussion with public institutions, the port community, cultural institutions and specialized in logistics. It is focused on observations and opinions on the adoption of the new PRP.

During today's meeting of the Port Committee were also examined issues of privatization of the Port race in 2000 and the custody of the secondary cargo handling service, projects for which the President is committed to present their schemes call for good first race at the Port Committee, "it is - said Gallanti - a change from the past. From now on all drafts of the most important notices will be presented and discussed in the Port Committee. "

In particular, during the meeting and noted the future division of the Port 2000 in two separate subjects, the first having a patrimonial character, the second will continue to ensure the conduct of business; Gallanti was mandated to define the pattern of public tender for the sale of majority shares of the company and the sale of the service management of passenger services. The outline of a contract should be presented to the Port Committee in September.

For reliability of service of railway traction, as was announced last month (of 16 June 2011), was authorized to carry out a European tender for a restricted-year concession of the service operation / traction within the port. The peculiarity is this: the winner of the tender exercise will not only shunting secondary (Livorno Calambrone station to the terminal and vice versa), but also to primary operation (movement of goods from the running line from the beam Calambrone track that leads to the terminal), provided, however, that the firm that guarantees the national rail network and that performs the maneuver primary self grant a license. The other novelty is that the Italian Railway Network (RFI) has declared its willingness to allow the railway undertaking to act as winner of "Manager Comprensoriale Only". Today - said the port authority of Livorno - each terminal operator pays a fee to RFI the amount of which is inversely proportional to the number of wagons handled: the greater the number of cars put on track the lower the fee to be paid.Put together the terminal operators, this concept skeleton, adding all the wagons they moved within the port - the Port Authority has said - and you'll get a fee equal to zero: this is the objective which would be achieved with a Manager Comprensoriale Act.

Today was also discussed the appointment of the Secretary General of the Port Authority. At the suggestion of some members of the Port Committee, the current Secretary General, George Gionfriddo, has been extended for a short period. Gallanti had returned with the confirmation of the Secretary-General.
