The agency is instituted with Financial law 2004, that it has inserted Manfredonia in the directory of the endowed ports of included Harbour Authority in law 84/94 of I reorder of the legislation in harbour matter, and has been successively place under the guide of commissioner Gaetano Falcone and the added commissioner Guido Capurso waiting for the nomination of a president. However, to conclusion of a verification on the volumes of traffic recorded in the ports center of carried out Harbour Authority in 2007, the modalities previewed from same law 84/94 are decided the abolition of the baby Harbour Authority of Manfredonia second. At the end of 2007 Salvatore Giuffrè is named commissioner liquidator of the harbour agency. A first resource introduced from commissioner Falcone and added commissioner Capurso for the suspension of the provision of abolition of the harbour agency is rejected by the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Latium at the end of 2007, sentence that is overturned by the Council of State that at the beginning of 2008 has confirmed the powers of the commissioner and the added commissioner of the Harbour Authority of Manfredonia. Moreover last December the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Latium has received the resource against the liquidation of the harbour agency.

Commenting in recent days the next institution of Apulian Ports, the association constituted from the apulian Harbour Authorities of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto ( on 6 February 2012), president of the Region Puglia, Nichi Vendola, have evidenced the necessity to reason "in a logic of portualità integrated of system of net from Manfredonia to Santa Maria di Leuca" and, referring to the future of the port of Manfredonia, he has specified that "it is difficult to define it in connection with the same city or to its history, but if instead the system Apulia attributes to productive specializations to every single segment, integrating all our harbour structures, the truth that we could put on we become rich and attractive. The ports - it has found Vendola - by themselves have a future of loneliness and economic depression. Entirety instead can become a stepping stone for the future development". The president of the Region therefore has exhorted the minister of the economic Development, infrastructures and the transports, Corrado Passera, to start the formal procedure for the nomination of the president of the Harbour Authority of Manfredonia in order to allow the ordinary operation of the agency.

Expressing satisfaction for the inclusion of the port of Manfredonia in the programs of development of the apulian portualità started from the Region Apulia, mayor Riccardi has manifested weever satisfaction for the interest that the governor of the Apulia - he has explained - is demonstrating for the port of Manfredonia; "an interest - it has observed the first citizen - motivated from circumstantiated considerations, ascertainments said better, on the contribution that the marine port of call of Manfredonia is able to assure to the apulian harbour system. They are in fact totally in agreement with its logic of system integrated of the apulian ports. A projected realistic vision also beyond the same regional dimension".

Riccardi has been said "relieved from the favorable one taken of position of Vendola in confronts of the port of Manfredonia that seemed to be cancelled from the programs of development of the field started from the Region Apulia, and the engagements personally assumed in order to standardize the situation inherent to the management of the Harbour Authority of Manfredonia, for by now trare it from an infinite condition of commissariamento that has not been able to operate so as it was in the waits of all to reason of the potentialities and of the excellence that our port possesses as anyway it is recognized by the same professionals".

Riccardi has emphasized to share in full load the demand for nomination of the president of the advanced Harbour Authority from Vendola in the letter sends to minister Passera 13th February: "the auspice that I formulate - has continued the mayor of Manfredonia - it is that of having the just answers in possible the short time. As the same Region demonstrates through the launch of initiatives that allow with the equipped apulian ports of the prescribed administrative and technical organs, to compete on the market of the national and international traffics - it has explained - we cannot lose other precious time. I say from mayor of a city that it has in the sea and the harbour system, one of the fundamental hinges of its economy, of its development, but I say it also from citizen that it sees to vanish day after day many important opportunities of job. I make therefore mine the second consideration of Vendola which the ports by themselves have a future of loneliness and economic depression, entirety instead can become a stepping stone for the future development". "I throw again of the harbour activities - it has concluded Riccardi - is a requirement that cross-sectionally picks the objective interest of a which stretched out city to value its resources".
