the Committee Cruise Venice restates its "not" to the transfer of the crocieristico traffic to Marghera Port



The Committee Cruise Venice has restated its "" to the transfer of the crocieristico traffic to Marghera Port in order not to avoid that the great ships reach in proximity of the city of Venice. Taking part friday slid to the audition of IV the consiliare Commission of the Municipality of Venice (combined to the V, YOU, IX and X Commission), convened in order to face the topic "Illustration and comparazione of the progettuali hypotheses alternatives to the current route of transit of the cruise ships", the president of Cruise Venice, Massimo Bernardo, has reaffirmed the necessity to confirm "those full stops - the president of the association has explained that promotes the crocieristico traffic - that they allow with the city and its port to maintain that leadership that in the crocieristico section places Venice to the first place as home port in the Mediterranean and quarter port to the world, in the light of how much recently declared from the president of the CLIA Europe (the international association of the crocieristiche companies in Europe) Manfredi Lefebvre d' Ovid: "we move the ships where there is a pleasant regime, where they do not make manifestations us against"".

"Given that the current crocieristico terminal of the Marine one with the great investments already made and in existence is not moved with the magic wand, without to count that this would involve, in spregio to every economic logic, a intolerable waste of public money - it has found Bernardo in the course of the audition - I would want to remember that the displacement to Marghera Port for the chemical risk and the commistione between the commercial crocieristico traffic and that and industrial one, also according to the Marine Authority, does not appear conceivable is under the profile of safety of the navigation that under that economic one as the activity of the many terminals today engaged in the commercial traffic would be penalized".

"From the point of view of the economic fallen back one - it has continued the president of Cruise Venice - I want to only remember that, second the elaborated data of the 2012 from the university of Padua and Ca' Foscari of Venice, the crocieristico traffic is worth about 465 million euros of direct expense of which 365 million (that is beyond 90% of the total) comes from advanced ships to the 40,000 tons; these last ones represent million and 700 thousand crocieristi. From it can here be had a premonition as the application of I decree Clini-Passera, if applied in the previewed terms, also against the development of the naval industry - it has emphasized Bernardo - it would mean the dead women of the crocieristica Venice with a loss for the Municipality of Gross Domestic Product 3.6% of the premises and about job 4.225 places (on a total of 7.600 total units of the section, second the data of the Harbour Authority). Without to count the damage to the other great engine of the traffic, the airport, that it enlivens about 500.000 crocieristi, 30% to the boarding/disembarkation, while the direct contribution of the crocieristi to the Municipality of Venice/participated companies go around on 3,2 million euros for purchase tickets ACTV, pass ZTL for airport People Mover, Alilaguna, etc, not to mention hotels and restaurants, travel agencies and stores of every genre".
