Today the first reunion of the new Harbour Committee of Livorno has held that is centralized on the new Portuale Town development plan, document which examined from the precedence talks last July of the Leighorn port of call ( on 13 July 2011).

"The start of the argument in Committee of the new town development plan - the president of the Harbour Authority has explained, Giuliano Gallanti - is an important step forward on the land of the competitiveness. Hence on 29 March, day in which the Harbour Committee will meet newly, I waited for me warmly that all the critical observations reached us from the interested subjects are translate in concrete emendative proposals. For the time being what it counts truly is that Livorno finally has a project for the future".

"During the consultations - it has found Gallanti - it has been a total sharing by the interested subjects. All have comprised that we must exceed the fragmentation and head for the aggregation of the functions in order to concentrate the engagement at the increase of concorrenzialità of the port of call".

The harbour authority of Livorno has announced that between the observations on the new PRP emerged during the today's Committee, many have been centralized on the new order of the Port Fleeting: in particular, the decision to delocalizzare the traffic of the forest ones on the Italy Pier and to leave from quickly the cruises it approaches 46 and 47 of Alto Fondale, have provoked some perplexity. There is in fact - it has confirmed the agency - who is worried that, in the optical of a full transformation of the TAF to functional area of the crocieristica, the loss of the areas covered and discoveries on this area adequately will not be compensated by the destined areas to the Port Cellulose, also because already in great part used for this purpose.

From part its Harbour Authority considers that the displacement of the traffic several cellulose and goods from Alto Fondale to the Italy Pier will not negatively affect the course of the traffic of the forest ones: "new sheds in the destined area to forest - it has specified in charge of the Portuale Town development plan of the authority, Claudio Vanni - these the spaces will be built up in order to construct superficial covered are: pack-saddles to think to the industrial areas of the Cementeria Know to us or of the Sosietà Intercontainer". The only obstacle to the full development of the traffic of the forest ones - it has observed - is represented if not from the singings, the tugs, the granaglie and the concrete: "they are activity - Vanni has explained - than at the moment is not possible to think of delocalizzare".

The Harbour Authority has specified that for the future descents Pisa, Orlando and Alto Fondale are previewed also participations improved to you on fleeting infrastructures of the new port (). In particular it is under consideration the possibility to riprofilare the descent Being bordered and the head of Alto Fondale, to the aim to afford the access to the most modern cruise ships. The other objective is the filling of good part of the Florence basin in order to use it as multi-storey parking, realizing at the same time a "platform" of connection between the areas of the Carrara descent and the areas of the descents Pisa and Orlando.

The harbour agency has evidenced that on the remaining areas defined from Gallanti us have not been divergences. The proposal of the amalgamation of the traffic of the freeways of the sea in an only great terminal constituted from the Inghirami dock and the Sintermar areas is confirmed so as the hypothesis of maxi a Multipurpose terminal with the objective to reach to a more efficient and productive use of the east side of the Tuscany Dock considering that to its shoulders there are great areas in great part little used or not used, as, for example, that of the former Seal of property of the Harbour Authority. Confirmed also the proposal to place in this within the terminal solid bulk currently it anticipates on the Descent Bordering.

For the realization of the Europe Platform, logistic plate for the container, the first proposed phase consists in the consolidation of the first bathtub of control of the mud of escavo of the port. Once consolidated, the first overwhelmed bathtub of will be taken advantage of as a new large square with dock of about 600 meters and will be a part of that earthwork South that, second the general lines of the PRP, will be used for the traffic of the containers.

In opening of the today's reunion Gallanti it has announced that the next week the contracts for the realization of the second overwhelmed bathtub will be stipulated of and for the characterization of the mud of the Tuscany Dock.

With respect to the industrial activities of the port, the Harbour Authority has confirmed the intention to throw again the section of the dry docks, placed to the west of Porto Mediceo and has announced that, with such objective, it is given sent to the RINA to define a study of market and an industrial plan in order to reactivate the basin in masonry, in order to restructure which serve today between the 18 and 20 million euros. In reference to the complex of the basins - it has found the harbour agency - it moreover becomes necessary to reconsider the relative communal Detailed Plan to the Door to Sea in order to modify of partially the functional destinations and to return it compatible with the activity of the dry docks.

At last, in order to carry to complement the project of waterfront of the historical city, the realization of a nautical landing place to the Bellana is previewed where to delocalizzare the nautical circles presents in Porto Mediceo and the New Dock.

In the course of the today's Harbour Committee it has been spoken also about the regional tax on the marine concessions, the sovrattassa that on the base of a norm of 1971 the Tuscany Region has tax to the concessionary terminalisti of areas of the Federal property. The Harbour Authority had previously sent to the Tuscany Region a note with which asked the suspension for the iter procedural for the tax collection sinché had not reached a clarification by the civil service. Unfortunately - it has remembered the Harbour Authority - the regional offices have disregarded the invitation of the general secretary, that it had already manifested deep perplexities in reference to the applicabilità of the tax to the state property concessions. For this reason, today the Harbour Committee has given sent to president Gallanti to intercede near the president of the Region, Enrico Rossi, so that "the inapplicabilità of the tax comes understood", and "it comes at least arranged the suspension of the already under way procedures of collection until pronounces of the civil services".

Gallanti has at last communicated that in the next reunion of the Harbour Committee it will be reproposed, for the definitive adoption, the implementing regulations for the effettuazione by Agelp of the instrument of "starter" of long period.
