December 13, 2012
The The International Propeller Club Port of prompt Taras I throw again of the plan for the realization of the distripark of the port of Taranto to the aim to withhold the goods in the port of call in order to put into effect logistics and working activity that adds value to the commercial traffic and allows a development of the economy of the city. "Without distripark - the president of Propeller evidences, Michele Conte - the port of Taranto, in the best one of the cases a port of transhipment (transfer of the containers from ship will remain large mother for transoceanici transports long-range to ship feeder, plus small, for transports shortly and short beam), without some advantage for the territory and an enslavement of the port to the exclusive necessities of the transoceanici carriers, that they can change broken (operating center) from a moment to the other only leaving unemployment".
Because the harbour field can contribute in determining way to the economic-social development and occupational of Taranto and the territory of reference - Count explains - "there is need to orient the port to a development logistic-manufacturer (the port-store) that, in synergy with the logistic-intermodal system, it can have, which connection element, a retroportuale area technologically equipped in order to attract productive takeovers for storage, storing, treatment, manipulation of componentry and shunting (reception, warehouse, distribution and redistribution) for the areas of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Balkans and far lands (Far East) that still they demand manufactures and produced goods of high value in Italy and Europe".
Evidencing the gravity of the current crisis economic-financial institution that it is crossing and modeling also the orders of the world-wide commerce, Count emphasizes that "the marine transport is considered, pacifically, one of the fields "device driver" for the increase of our system Country. If it is for the Country - the president of Propeller finds - to greater reason would have to be for Taranto that suffers, like not never and nobody other city in Italy, of all the crises evidenced, nevertheless have a port situated strategically at a distance very next to the Suez Canal and in an immense area that, even if next to the city, by the same one is not conditioned".
Rimarcando also the strategicità of localization of the harbour and retroportuale area of Taranto, Count by now remembers that for the development of the port they are in program, "from a decade, infrastructural works, comprised the dredgings, than, although numberless and, sometimes, useless normative and bureaucratic ties, would have to return it sooner or later more and more attractive for new traffics. The communal administration - the president of Propeller observes Club Port of Taras - would have to be beaten, towards the State and perhaps also against the agency Region, because this happens the first possible one, pain the risk to remain excluded from residual opportunities of development".
Count moreover remembers that "already by 2000 the realization of a distripark was assumed to Taranto in placed areas to the north-west of the port, to the west of Punta Rondinella, own with the scope to return it to the new commercial development of the possible port of call with the takeover of a terminal containers managed from a scope society fungible, the TCT Spa, generated and controlled from the Evergreen, one of the greater societies of vettoriamento of containers to the world".
The president of Propeller recalls the history of the plan for the distripark: "the promotion and the realization of the distripark - it explains - were entrusted to a SCARL consortile society to governmental capital constituted by Province, Municipality, Chamber of Commerce and Harbour Authority, than today it has supplied only and to the expropriation of the lands on which to only realize the structures and infrastructures. The characteristic of subject public, constituted from four public bodies, until now to presidency of the Province, rather than to sinergizzare and to facilitate the activities of the various agencies - denunciation Count - has multiplied for four solos the managerial deficiencies own of a public body, much to make useless every possibility of interest from the great operators of the production or the logistics hypothetical interested to invest in Italy and the area tarantina".
Count observes that "the start of opportunities of alternative development, though not monodirectional, must have in the communal administration the subject promoter and insistently it press because every form of ideazione and progettualità follows the ways more breviums and effective for the realization in times not more rinviabili and dilazionabili, pain the marginalization if not the exclusion of our territories from the development of productive activities and services to low environmental impact, to high yield occupational and still opened to sure not local foreign or national investments".
According to the president of Propeller Club Port of Taras, therefore, "the communal administration must assume the "governance" of the subject hypothesis-plan distripark acting as towards the other public bodies and to speed up the advertising action for the involvement of external private subjects because they take in consideration the possibility-opportunity to invest in the area. There is need but - Count concludes - of determined and univocal decisions that guarantee the investor from decisional hesitations".
