The initiative of the association of the manufacturers has the objective to resolve the difficult situation in which harbour enterprises and societies they find to operate because of the limitatezza of the backdrops, a problem of general interest - it has emphasized Trapani Confindustria - because it involves marine agencies, harbour, shipbuilding, ormeggiatori enterprises, pilots, shipowners, etc, that they today represent a fundamental field for the province and that gives occupation, directly or through the induced one, to thousands of workers.
"As it is famous - Gregorio Bongiorno has written - the port of Trapani it is classified port of call of national interest and it is, unfortunately, gives beyond 30 years that do not come places in existence participations of dredging, to the aims of the adaptation and maintenance of the backdrops in order to return adapts them to the new requirements. The technological development of the modern ships has, on the other hand, carried to the realization of larger ships with draughts more and more elevated. To the current state, the port, anticipates the maximum backdrop of approximately eight meters, by now insufficient in order receiving modern ships, in relation to the commercial or crocieristico naval traffic. But the situation is still more alarming in correspondence than some harbour docks recently realization that still remain not operating because of the lacked excavation the next watery mirrors. The case of the Isolella dock, the new dock of the Ronciglio, and a good part of the northern docks is this. The auspice is, to this point - it has concluded Bongiorno - than political and national and regional institutions make cargo of the problem and reach to a fast solution".
