The port of Venice is interrogated on the priorities in order to face the challenges of the crisis



While it is being operated with investments for 45 million euros within 2013 for the infrastructuring and to the recovery of 130 hectares of areas dismesse with a cost of acquisition of 130 million euros, it is necessary to assure nautical accessibility at least -12 meters until the terminals of Marghera Port and eventually to reach puts up draughts in order to allow the income in port of ships always greater tonnage. This is one of the priorities for survival and the increase of the port of Venice, also it to the taken ones with the impact of a crisis of which marine agencies and shipment enterprises they are paying a salted account with lay-offs and failures, that it is emerged in the course of the meeting "By transactions of Port to… Port of the Transactions" held yesterday near Bologna the organized hotel of Mestre and by the International Propeller Club of Venice.

Such measures have the objective to allow with the port to reach beyond a million teu the year and, graces also to the new terminal for ships ro-ro to Fusina (Marghera), to generate new occupation also with the realization of the platform of height to service of the Alto Adriatico system that will be placed to eight miles nautical from the coast on a -20 backdrop meters and that it will be able to receive oceanic ships are oil tankers that fullcontainer with disembarkation and boarding until 3.000 teu.

In the course of the encounter the president of the Harbour Authority of Venice, Paolo Costa, has evidenced as in the lagoon port of call to supply the heavy losses in the industrial and oil traffic it has been the increment of the commercial port, above all in the container, that he so marks an sensitive trend of increase as that of the crocieristico port, true "feather in the cap" of the Mediterranean portualità with optimal forecasts of increase.

Coast has emphasized as the future of the Venetian port is intimately legacy to its role in Europe, where already is inserted between the 83 ports of first level re-entering so in the European strategies with the ports of NAPA (North Adriatic Ports Association).

With respect to the perspectives of increase of the crocieristico traffic, president of the Venice Terminal Passeggeri (VTP), Sandro Trevisanato, has remembered the progettuale hypothesis of new docks to modular development in mainland in Dogaletto resort in order to accommodate ships always greater tonnage and has rimarcato the success of the Venetian crocieristico terminal that in next the three years he will invest beyond 32 million euros, success - he has specified - than does not only go ascribed to the appeal offered from the city of San Marco, but also to the conspicuous investments made in the course of these years in terms of new structures and technology applied for giving he put up guarantees in order to the times of boarding disembarkation and of logistics for ships and passengers. Trevisanato has rejected the hypothesis of eventual increases of for services harbour costs or the competition by the companies of navigation with "scope taxes" on the crocieristi: costs, these - it has explained - that they could make to disappear from Venice some companies, that they would divert their bows on more competitive concurrent ports.

On safety, the regulation and the discipline of navigation in the lagoon of Venice are taken part admiral Tiberio Piattelli, director of the Naval district of Veneto and commander of the Harbour office of Venice, remembering the several computer science systems and radio-radars that guarantee navigation and the controls.

In its Antonino Magro relation, commander of the Customs corps of Port, Airport and Interporto, has informed as, within a system of "Port Community" already in being in the ports of the Europe north, already operating system LOGIS to Venice for the side sea could be integrated with the informatizzazione advanced in the harbour processes and the sharing of the afferent data the traffic of the goods, arranges already applied after an experimental period of four months with the informatizzazione of a harbour passage.

"From Transactions of Port to… Port of the Transactions - it has concluded the president of Propeller of Venice, Massimo Bernardo - it has traced a new roadmap for the destinies of the port, but the engagement and the goodwill of administrators and local entrepreneurs enough in order not to save a port who has the great question mark in front of him who it will be its future, in which the advent of the total economy has upset every forecast and every certainty in the international role of the entire national portualità. The true challenge - it has added - is today in knowing to look beyond the crisis heading at a new economic culture in which navigable ports, railroads, freeways, airports, internal ways, the productive world, that of the services and that of the finance represent an all inseparable one of a "Italy System" that it are able to operate online with repentini the changes of the markets".
