MSC Cruises on a national level asks a cabin for direction for the management of the ports
Pellegrino: "many Italian ports are not neither in a position to receiving the great cruise ships of last generation"
October 28, 2011
. Taking part yesterday to Venice to the forum "Italian Cruise Day", the managing director of the company, Domenico Pellegrino, it has found that "the market of the fleeting cruises will reach this year 17 million world-wise, that they will become 25 within 2015" and that "Italy is main Paese of boarding of the Mediterranean, but if protagonist wants to remain - she has emphasized - must quickly start serious politics of modernization of infrastructures on a national level, exceeding the provincialistica mentality that has carried today to the creation of beyond 60 ports that boast a crocieristica vocation. Little but - it has added - are today indeed competitive to international level, while on the contrary often they ask the companies mark market against inadequate services outside".
"It is not thinkable for our Country - it has continued Travelling - to succeed to hold the step of the volumes of increase of the crocieristico field without to institute a direction cabin on a national level, as the operating costs of a number so elevated of ports are by now indefensible. Already now, for example, many Italian ports are not neither in a position to receiving the great cruise ships of last generation and the main reason resides in the fact that the economic resources come unavoidably dispersed in order to manage this excessive fragmentation".
"The travel in cruise - it has concluded the MSC manager Cruises - begins and finishes to earth, therefore it is fundamental that the infrastructures guarantee the embarking, disembarking passengers and in transit the same offered comforts on board of the ships. Otherwise the companies will be forced to choose other more competitive destinations".
