Confetra - Confederation General Italiana of Transports and of Logistics has introduced today own note conjunctural semiannual on transport goods with data, found for number of shipments and for turnover on champion of 200 enterprises between more representative of several fields, that they evidence as in the year the 2011 Italian traffic goods has shown a altogether positive balance, is in terms of volumes that of turnover.

In particular, the transport cargo on the road in national within has recorded timid a +1.2% regarding 2010 in terms of travel and a +4.7% in terms of turnover, while in international within the values are of +0.3% (travels) and +3.1% (turnover). Inferior results have been recorded for the national couriers that have marked a +0.4% in terms of deliveries and a +0.6% in terms of turnover.

Continuous the railway modality the trend negative -3,7% for the crisis - Confetra explains - at this point chronic of this system of transport.

Negative also the marine traffic ro-ro (ferries for transport goods) dropped of the -3,8% probably for the reduction of the Mediterranean traffics with the Countries of the Africa North remained involved in the course of 2011 in the infightings of the so-called "Arabic spring".

The data of the marine traffic, are regarding the container that the bulk, is positive: +1,5 for the container teu and +1,8 for the bulk. At the level of single ports, the better result is reached by Trieste that continues the positive trend of the last years, recording meaningful a +39.6%. Trieste - Confetra specifies - sees to grow its level of attraction thanks to the natural depth of its backdrops, adapts to receive the portacontainer giant that more and more are used by the greater world-wide shipowning companies; beside historical companies which MSC and Maersk, now make port of call to Trieste four important companies: Hanjin Korean and Hyundai Merchant Marine, Yang Ming of Taiwan and the UASC of the Arabic Emirates. Other worthy note data: the decrease of the traffic container in the port of transhipment of Gioia Tauro (- 17.6%), explained fundamentalally from the abandonment of the port by the Maersk, the Danish company that alone enlivened about a quarter of all the harbour volume of traffic container and that it has favorite to move to Port Saïd in Egypt. The port of Livorno (- 15.3% in the bulk loses traffic quotas) that it discounts the delay in the mass in work of the dredgings in order to adapt the backdrops. Positive the data of the bulk in the port of Taranto (+15.6%), for the important increase of the iron traffic used from the local Ilva steel mill.

In the traffic goods with aerial modality I confront to level anniversary has remained positive (+3.5%), but in the second half of the year of the 2011 a strong reorganization of this modality of transport has been recorded that in the first semester of 2011 regarding the same period of 2010 had recorded a +8.7%.

Regarding international shipments the data are substantially positive are for traffic that for turnover. Better turned out in the terrestrial section (road and railroad) that it has made to record a +4% in terms of traffic and a +5.7% in terms of turnover. In the aerial section the values are +3.1% for the traffic and +2% for the turnover, while in the marine section the traffic is gone up of 2.7% and the turnover of 1.7%.

Good the results of the Express Courier that have marked a +6.3% in terms of deliveries and a +3.4% in terms of turnover.

"It must hold account - he has found the president of the Confetra, Fausto Forti - than the altogether positive balance of 2011 is in reality the result of a first followed semester expanding from a progressive aggravate slow down in recent months of the year. An important reflection regards the unitary turnovers: unless for the modality on the road, the increase of the turnover is considerably inferior to the increase of the traffic, to new evidence of the continuous erosion of the margins which the enterprises of the field are subordinates from years. The modality on rubber probably records an increase of the turnover in greater measure regarding the increase of the traffic, because of the fort increase of the price of the diesel oil that it has made to leaven the prices to the customers".
