To Livorno the institutions manifest the will to develop the crocieristico field



Today to Livorno, in Sala Canaviglia of the Old Fortress, a workshop has held on the topic "the port of the cruises" organized from the Harbour Authority of Livorno and Port of Livorno 2000 in order to make the point on the perspectives of the crocieristica activity in the Leighorn city and its harbour port of call.

In the course of the encounter the representatives of the institutions have agreed on the fact that the road in order to promote the development of the field of the cruises already is traced by the Portuale Town development plan. "To Livorno - the president of the Tuscany Region has said, Enrico Rossi - various entrepreneurs are interested to the pulling ahead field of the cruises. We cannot pull itself behind: we must say they that the livornese port of call has crono a sure program and very defined, than the times are not a causal variable, and that the infrastructural problems of the port of call will be resolved timely". "For me - it has continued - the 46 and the 47 are alone two numbers, but if riuscissimo to assign these docks to the cruises in times not too much long, we could also ask the shipowners to invest on our territory. The Tuscany Region assumes own responsibilities because this distance goes successfully".

"In Tuscany - Rossi has rimarcato - we are famous for our proclivity to the controversy. And it is a thing that does not do good us. To the investor foreign countries we must return to give a cohesion image. We must make the understandings".

From part its president of the Harbour Authority of Livorno, Giuliano Gallanti, has evidenced as the problem is first of all decisional, that is political: "we must be put in agreement - it has explained - to sit down to a table and to wonder: we want to develop the cruises or not? If all entirety we decide that so it must be, then we must be entrusted to the lines guides of the Portuale Town development plan, that it is prepared for the term of along turn consultations with the stakeholder of the local portualità and that has already clarified which will be the new crocieristico pole".

"46 and 47 of Alto Fondale - Gallanti has confirmed - will go to the cruises, this already are decided, so as are decided that the activities of the Cilp (today concessionary of Alto Fondale), will be delocalizzate on the side north of the Italy Pier as soon as of it we dredge the backdrops: if from the ministry the authorizations in reasonable times will arrive, could be ready for the next crocieristica season (june 2013)". But if so it did not have to be, if that is they had to be we bureaucratic delays - it has specified - "we must however to find squares all harbour entirety, institutions and operators, in order to find solutions alternatives".

Also the mayor of Livorno, Alessandro Cosimi, has emphasized the necessity to act: "we cannot more - it has found - stuffed to find in "surplace". For the 2013 we must deliver to the city and to the shipowners of the clear choices and very defined. A development cannot exist if we do not give the legs to it from a infrastructural point of view". "If all we agree on the validity of the PRP - it has added - then the issues on the compatibility of sent back the business activities and crocieristiche they cannot more being. Let us put themselves to a table and we decide".

And to the necessity of fast and sure decisions one has appealed, in convention opening, also the president of the Port of Livorno 2000, Roberto Piccini: "Tourism - one of the society has observed the number that on the other hand manages the cruises of Port Authority - is flies of increase of the local and regional economy: the cruises to Livorno relapse of 40 million euros: many are the money spold, between purchases on the territory and excursions, from the million passengers who today stop themselves or journey from Livorno". "We - he has continued - are making our part in order to implement the flows of direct investments towards the cities of art of the Tuscany, we are making it also operating from various time in conditions of obvious promiscuity with the commercial traffics. Well he is intended: not there is some confrontation between the two spirits of the port but, besides the PRP, of which we share the formulation wide - he has concluded Small - is necessary to trace a distance for gradual step aerobics that you carry Livorno to having a terminal to the height for the acceptance of the crocieristi and docks for the ships give beyond 300 meters".
