Pasqualino Monti calls the Italian ports to a union of attempts
Servants - she emphasizes - an industrial plan of the Italian portualità, with projects, investments and sources of financing. Coast (AP Venice) defends the project of the terminal of height from the genoese assault
November 16, 2012

Pasqualino Monti, vice-president vicar of the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti) and president of the Harbour Authority of Civitavecchia, has called the national ports to a union of attempts turns to throw again the Italy system with concrete proposals. Draft of a real appeal to the unit of the Italian harbour cluster, turned proposing all the presidents of the ports a change of march that places the association in the position of being able to introduce to the government a total proposal, shared, of I throw again of the field.

"It is not - Monti has explained - a future for the ports which we ask. It is a future for the Country, than without efficient ports and in a position to programming a coherent development with the economy and the market, autocondanna to increase the gap logistic and competitive that already penalizes it in it confronts of the European and Mediterranean competitors".

"In this optical - it has found - today more than ever Assoporti is called to a effort of cohesion unprecedented, introducing proposed concrete: it for infrastructure serves an industrial plan of the Italian portualità, with projects, investments and sources of financing for each work of every port and of ground connection. Only so the Italy System gets back in motion. Divisions and disagreements go set aside".

"With a country that risks every day more also for infrastructural deficiencies to be cut out from the routes of large trade the international one - it has continued Monti - we must become we, presidents of the ports, the key in order to exceed contrasts, parochialisms and to trace delivering it to the State, of which we are emanation directed on the line of the front of the globalization, a document that defines the harbour and logistic priorities of the Italy system. A serious and structured relationship that work for work analyzes, individuals and verify the bancabilità, the reliability, the private hypotheses of collaboration between public and, in conclusion, the possibility to arrive to the goal of the commissioning and the profit, than in a period of crisis as that current one represents also the key of time of the good administration" -

"The thing worse that we can make in this moment - has concluded Monti - it is to divide to us while own the ports are in condition today, for the contribution that however continue to supply to the national economy and the jettison at sea of the State, to become the tip of diamond in a new season of management of the public affairs".

The participation and the exhortation of Monti, even if evidently revolt to the entire Italian portualità in a crucial moment for the future of the competitiveness of the marine ports of call and the entire national economy, seems addressed also to reduce the tones of the most recent diatribe that has relit antagonism between the ports of Genoa and Venice and that it is primed by the approval of Wednesday by the Commission budget, treasure and programming of the Chamber of Deputies of an amendment to the Law of Stability 2013 that, in order to ahead allow the financing of the activities finalized to the realization of a platform of height to the port of Venice, authorizes the transfer to the Harbour Authority of million Venice five euro for 2013 and 95 million euros for 2014.

From a part the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, Luigi Merlo, has announced the purpose to discharge himself from the charge of president of Assoporti if the Senate does not cancel the green light of the Chamber to the Venetian project. From the other the institutions and the economic world of the lagoon city have been lined up compact to defense of their port and the project in order to realize the new offshore terminal.

The president of the Region of Veneto, Luca Zaia, has rejected as "useless and harmful" the controversies with regard to the Venetian portualità and - he has emphasized - "of the unavoidable decisions that they must be assumed in Senate. Memory to all, comprised the supporters of a raid that would only serve to make confusion between the ports of Genoa and of Venice - it has added - that how much must arrive for the financing of the offshore Venetian it is not, and does not have to be, I yield of some abashment".

Replying to the hard dispute of Merlon, that it has emphasized as agrees to give the green light to the financing of 100 million euros for Venice when the entire resources that the State has on hand for all single the Italian ports are about of 70 million euros, Zaia has been said aware "that around the port of Genoa and its interests, however it legitimizes, are preparing the unavoidable askaris for support. We say simply to they and other eventual camel-borne troops - it has beaten again - than this is a battle that Genoa does not have to not even imagine of being able to make, that draft of deep thought for the port of Venice and is sure that any parliamentarian, of any extraction or origin, will not be able that to support of legitimate and the due distribution in favor of Venice. I hope - it has concluded the president of Veneto - than also the genoese ones do not want to embrace the hypothesis of we smash distributive. The day will come in which we will support other causes, provided that legitimate: in this case legitimacy is exclusively Venetian".

The president of the Harbour Authority of Venice, Paolo Costa, has received the words of Luigi Merlo with sbigottimento and has decided to send a letter to it in which he has written: "I am esterrefatto of your declarations that, unfortunately, discount a total ignorance of the facts". "100 million the Mose mitigation for the port of height of Venice - it has explained Coast in the missive - enters not there nothing with the deep ones for the ports. If in 2016, when Mose gets up in order to save Venice, it is not operating the previewed one "permanent structure of access" - it has emphasized - the port of Venice will have to close. With this end in view it would have had to adapt the previewed navigation lock to Malamocco. But it is obvious that the increasing dimension of the ships cannot be run after with continuous widenings of the conca, neither with ulterior escavi intralagunari incompatible with its morphologic balance".

"The height terminal - it has still explained Coast to Merlon - is the alternative, less expensive for the State, than we have engaged ourselves beginning from to realize with project finances this "demanded sign" from investor who must decide to engage on Venice figures of the order of billions. It is true - it has concluded - that I have tried to transform a weakness (the closing risk) in an asset (a port of call with backdrops from 20 meters and beyond), but this, if can worry the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, must return the president of Assoporti happy".

Motivating with more dovizia than particular to it prints the reasons that has induced the Harbour Authority of Venice to define the project of the height terminal, Coast has restated that, in lack of other participations, when beginning from the 2016 mouths of port of Venice will be closed by Mose in order to defend Venice and its lagoon from tidal wave the port would be found forced to suspend its activities, as it would have happened for example last week if the Mose system had been already active, returning the repeatedly unfit for use port of Venice for days. "It is for this - it has remembered Coast - than in the 2003 in approving of definitive project of Mose has given a binding prescription to realize "a permanent structure of access to the port" that separating to safeguard and portualità it did not make to pay to the port costs avoidable. The solution was found in an adaptation of the dimensions of the navigation lock to the mouth of Malamocco. In that year the largest portacontainer that it turned seas carried about 8.000 teu. In 2008, having to set to the conca, a lot to south of the location of the current commercial port was taken note that the same adaptation would have at least cost 700 million euros moreover with the single result to allow to reach the single Port of San Leonardo, with the maximum ground of 14 meters. The engagement to this adaptation was assumed in an agreement of program authorized from the ministry Infrastructures and Transports, between Magistrate to waters of Venice and signed Harbour Autorità on September 16, 2009. In 2009 the largest portacontainer that it turned seas carried about 14.000 teu. He is obvious - it has found Coast - that the increasing dimension of the ships cannot be run after with continuous widenings of the conca, neither with ulterior escavi intralagunari incompatible with the morphologic balance. Ulterior appraisals about the avoidable one I cant costs/benefits of the participation of adaptation of the conca, also to light of progressing of naval gigantism - it has remembered still Coast travelling over again the stages that have induced the agency to reach the project of the height landing place - it made to accept to the Harbour Authority a various solution constituted from the affiancamento of a terminal container of height to the oil terminal of height previewed from law 798/84 on the safeguard of Venice and its lagoon and whose procedure lay near the ministry of the Atmosphere. The harbour Authority of Venice agreed according to agreement of program with the Magistrate to Waters of Venice, always authorized from the ministry Infrastructures and Transports, and signed on August 4, 2010, with which it subordinated the renunciation to the adaptation of the conca to the realization of the foretold terminal. The ministry Infrastructures, through the Magistrate to waters of Venice was engaged to approve of the definitive project of the terminal of height within on June 30, 2012. Of the aforesaid agreements of program and the necessity to proceed to the realization of the height terminal the CIPE with its deliberation took note on May 5, 2011 inviting the ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports to report in a next sitting on the advance of the work. In date 16 june the 2011 Italian government and the Region of Veneto signed the additional action to the general understanding picture State-Region for integration of the eighth program of strategic infrastructures - law 443/2001, (Objective Law) - previewing between the strategic works also the harbour terminal of height. The preliminary project of the harbour terminal of comprehensive height of the pier container is written up by the Magistrate of Waters of approved of Venice and from the technical Committee of Magistracy that replaces, if Venetian, the Advanced Committee of the Public works. On May 3, 2012 - in the year in which largest portacontainer they attest themselves to about 15.000 teu - the Magistrate to Waters of Venice transmitted to the ministry of the Atmosphere the Study of Environmental impact for an appraisal that today has already exceeded the phase of the observations”.

Coast has remembered moreover that “the Harbour Authority is in these months used in order to pursue the realization of the entire project, is that under the responsibility of the State (Magistrate to Waters of Venice) is that under the responsibility of the Harbour Authority to come true in public-private partnership. The hypothesis - it has added - is supported and encouraged by the European Union that it has co-financed to 50% - 770,000 euros - the predisposition of the international contest for the realization and management of the terminal. The contribution of the State, previewed in Law of Stability - it has specified - has the scope to correspond to the obligation assumed with the agreements of program over recalled and to give the necessary sign to the international investor who, desirably, will have to contribute with not inferior figures to the two billions of euro to the completion of the project within 2018. In that year in fact - it has concluded Coast - they will turn for the world portacontainer also from 20/22.000 teu”.

From part its president of Venetian Confindustria, Andrea Tomat, has rimarcato that “the development of the Northeast is contingent on its infrastructural system and the two corridors towards north pass necessarily from the port of Venice. It is for this - it has continued - than Venice and Veneto needs the port of height in order to continue to grow and to being of stimulus for the national economy and has right to being supported from the government as however it has happened to other ports of call in Italy for perhaps less strategic projects for the national economy. The Senate - it has agreed Tomat - must confirm the appropriation of deep - for other already destined to Veneto (to Mose) - allowing to reach two objectives at the same time: the safeguard of Venice and the sustainable development of the economy”.

“Veneto and the East North - it has still found the president of Venetian Confindustria - already are inserted in the new European programming and the project of the height terminal is one of the fundamental assets for the development of a logistic area considered strategic from same Europe, that it looks to its relations with the great areas of development, of far away the Middle East, Russia and the Balkans. Brave and far-sighted policies that preview projects as that of the offshore one - united to the contribution of private capitals and to I use it of new project the European bonds - are destined to equip the Region of a logistic platform, than besides to serve from multiplier of the services to the manifacturing one and to the industry it consolidates the centrality of the area, in the exchanges between the Mediterranean, Europe of the North and the East. Veneto and the East North - it has concluded Tomat with I take bellicose - will not renounce to beat themselves completely and by all means in order to confirm this objective”
