He has been the same president of the company - it has specified - beginning from to inform me of the hypothesis of suspension of the Genoa-Olbia-Arbatax route the first October

The president of the Harbour Authority of the North Sardinia, Paolo Piro, has received with satisfaction the today's precisazione of Tirrenia Company of Navigation not to have assumed decisions and initiatives on the abolition of the line Olbia-Genoa ferry realized from the company, clarification that has reached after the same Piro had invited the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports to take part in order to ask for the abolition of the marine route ( of 11 and 12 July 2013).
"I learn with it like behind - Paolo Piro has declared - of the step that Tirrenia has intended to make with regard to the suspension of the Genoa-Olbia-Arbatax route. A choice tests that, finally, it returns justice to the right to mobility of the Sardinians".
The satisfaction of Piro for the announcement of the navigation company is but accompanied from the disappointment for what the president of the Harbour Authority considers to be is "a little corrected attitude of the company" in its confront: "he astonishes me - Piro has explained - than in the official notice of Tirrenia is used the term to refute, almost to mean that the undersigned can have launch a false alarm to all the members of the Harbour Committee and, what still more unacceptable, to same minister Lupi and the president of the Region. I would want to continue to think - it has found Piro - that features of a simple step behind to light of the mobilization announced from the mayor of Olbia Gianni Giovannelli and the labor organizations of category and an attempt ill-concealed not to be reflected on my person and on my acts".
Piro has remembered that 4th July the president of Tirrenia, Ettore Morace, that it had demanded the encounter with the president of the Harbour Authority of the Sardinia North, in that occasion had informed Piro of the hypothesis of suspension of the Genoa-Olbia-Arbatax route beginning from the first October. "Decision - it has specified the president of the harbour authority - that is accompanied by a series of solutions alternatives that I have intentional to subject to the attention of the Harbour Committee in the sitting of 10 Wednesdays July". Between these - it has specified - the proposal to on foot institute a coach of line between Porto Torres and Olbia for the passengers, the activation of a connection ad for the goods with small ships ro-ro and the will to meet the same olbiesi harbour operators in order to study solutions in a position to containing the serious occupational crisis.
"In the light of all this - it has concluded Paolo Piro - the categorical refutation of the company sounds me strange, almost to ridicule the seriousness and the professionality of the undersigned that, I hold to specify, in detail is informed by dottor the Morace of the real intentions of Tirrenia. I only hope that features of a banal error in I more use it of the term adapted in order to put the stone over to a decision, that of the suspension of the draft, on which I have express, since quickly, and in front of the same president of Tirrenia, all my reserves".
