Federimorchiatori, "misleading and distorsiva" the accusation of excessive cost of the services of towing turned from AP of Venice



According to Federimorchiatori, the denunciation of the Harbour Authority of Venice does not correspond to the truth about the excessive cost of the technical-nautical services and in particular of the harbor tug. Referring to an umpteenth relief on the excessive cost of such services moved in recent days from the harbour agency in with parliamentarians Venetian occasion of an encounter ( on 24 September 2012), the Italian Federation Shipping of Tugs has replied that, "in a so delicate moment for the Italian portualità", Federimorchiatori considers the affirmation of the Harbour Authority of Venice "a misleading and distorsivo action".

Federimorchiatori has evidenced that "the societies of harbor tug are ordered within arranged clear and transparent parameters in a system that of it previews the merit argument and prevents to any arbitrariness and tariff discrezionalità. The societies of harbor tug - it has explained the Federation - are subordinates to controls and the examination of merit of the budgets of the concessionary societies, the single voices of cost and their ability to manage the service effectively, in a process that on the first floor involves the Harbour Authorities and the representative associations of all the users of the service, beyond those of the distributing ones, with the control of the competent ministry. Therefore, for any subject commercially interested - Harbour Authority, shipping agents and shipping - it is possible to get to the point of management and organization of the towing service, and therefore in the consequent rates who gush some, with a total process transparency".

"For that it regards the port of Venice - it has specified Federimorchiatori - cannot be neglected that draft of a port lagoon with the commercial docks between the channels, unattainable without the support of the nautical services technical and, generally omitted detail, with enormous times of crosswalk: the maneuvers of the ships in the port of Venice demand a time of engagement to the towing service that it does not have equal in Italy. To this an organization of the service which spread on the 24 hours joins to the every day natural phenomenon of the tide peaks homogenous, that it altogether generates a congestionamento of the port of about 5-6 hours a day for the ships that demand all the draught, being profitable impossible".

"Then to the ports know them - it has found the Italian Federation Shipping of Tugs - he becomes obvious that to rise Venice to port pilot in order to change laws, norms and regulations cannot that to appear at least bizarre, dates the corografiche characteristics and meteomarine that return it only. In the same way, to try to exceed the distributing morphologic handicaps to the detriment of services, the even being invoked regulations ad hoc one that would introduce a distortion in the competition between ports, cannot that to appear instrumental".

"It is not making of every port a state - it has concluded Federimorchiatori - that we will be able to face the crisis and the auspicious resumption. At last, for the report, to Venice the towing rates are uniforms for type of ships and anyone will be able to verify that, for example, a satisfied ferry boat 500,00 touched euros to".
