Assologistica nozzle an alarm for the possible block of the Italian ports to May



Assologistica has launch an alarm for possible a new block of the Italian ports to May. "As a year it makes - it has emphasized today the association - is newly real and concrete the possibility that from on 16 May next the activities in the Italian ports, that they will endure a serious slow down of the operations of less competitive, more expensive cargo and drainage turning out and the less sure regarding those of the European ports, after and although heavy costs that the terminaliste enterprises will have to support of structural reorganization for the homogenization to the parameters of the terrestrial activities, in a picture of economic recession are blocked that is already hitting hardly the Italian harbour industry. In fact, in spite of the delay of another year happened in 2011 for the times of harmonization between the general dispositions in work safety matter (I decree legislative 81/2008) and I decree legislative 272/99 on safety and health of the workers in the within of the operations and harbour services - Assologistica has explained - still nothing is made and it is risked that, to expiring of the delay date, the field enters in the river bed of the application in via exclusive right of the single one decrees legislative 81/2008".

Manifesting appreciation for the job of vice minister Ciaccia for a general norm on safety of the job in transport, however the association has emphasized and thrown again the specificity of the ports, "due - it has evidenced Assologistica - to their only characteristics of connection of the earth to the sea, that they obligate to contemporary organizations of the job of many various enterprises in the logistic process of cargo handling, than cannot be omogeneizzate neither to the parameters of safety of the construction yards, neither to those of the other logistic nodes".

"A rough draft of the outline of regulations for the modification of I decree legislative 272/99 and its harmonization with the norms of the 81/2008 - the association has remembered - was already defined by April 2010 with the involvement, promoted from the Head office of the Ports of the ministry of Infrastructures and Transports, of all the parts interested comprised the labor organizations". Assologistica has asked therefore "that the rough draft so shared is emitted that is, subordinately, is arrived to a new dismissal, in order to avoid catastrophic consequences on the economy and the logistics of the goods originated, destined, in transit or which reshipped in our Country and enlivened by the Italian ports in hundred of million tons per year. Various, from on May 16, 2012 for every ship that will climb an Italian port will have to be made a specific risk assessment and the harbour operations will only begin after a long bureaucratic procedure".

Assologistica has specified at last that the approval of the regulations outline "is without burdens for the State and avoids heavy consequences on the national economy - exporting enterprises, importers and consumers - much more serious than those of the block of the road haulage".
