Al via the contest for the increase of the channel of access to the port of Livorno
Gallanti: the restrictions will be removed that up to now they prevent to the ships of last generation to reach the port of call
April 9, 2013
The ban of contest for the realization of the microtunnel of crosswalk of the Channel of access to the port of Livorno is published. The work will interest the final part of that traffic bottleneck that today it prevents to the great ships to journey fully loaded because of the presence of the oil pipe-lines of Eni. With the transfer inside of the tunnel of these pipelines it will be finally possible to resecare the side north of the Channel and to construct a new dock on the della Torre side of the rear Marzocco of 25 meters. The participations of riprofilamento will currently on hand carry the navigable section to a useful width of 120 meters regarding the 75 meters of the ships.
The Harbour Authority of Livorno has remembered that the participation was attended for a long time, from when, beginning from July of 2010, AP and Enel has begun to meet in order to define a shared project that the displacement of the oil pipe-lines allowed, project whose definitive version is introduced to the ministry of the Atmosphere to september of 2011. From that moment it is passed almost a year and means before from Rome gave the go-ahead free to the work.
"This work - the president of Port Authority has declared, Giuliano Gallanti - is of fundamental importance for our port. With the increase of the navigable section of the access channel those restrictions will fail all that until today they have prevented to the ships of last generation to reach the port of call".
The amount made up of contest is of 6,15 million euros. The ban is published today on the site of the Harbour Authority of Livorno and previews that the award is carried out by means of the criterion of the economically more favorable offer.
