Venetian Assoagenti, is impossible to make to berth the cruise ships to Marghera Port



The shipping agents of Veneto have launch an alarm for the impossibility to make to berth the cruise ships to Marghera Port being the necessity to find alternative landings place to Venice because of the closing of the mouths of port for the work of Mose, the system for the defense of the Lagoon of Venice from tidal waves.

The Association Raccomandatari Agents and Marine Mediatori of Veneto has explained that recently some associates have had to manage the problem of riposizionare some fleeting ships in emergency on Marghera since these ships could not find an alternative mooring in other ports and that, therefore, already by last August are verified the possibility to characterize of suitable the possible moorings/to Marghera Port. "In spite of the will of all to look for a solution - he has emphasized Venetian Assoagenti - he has had himself us to surrender in front of the truth of the facts that the cruise ships are not, to the current state and sure in short/the medium period, accoglibili to Marghera Port if not of limited dimensions, in particular conditions and therefore putting to risk the peculiarities of service for passengers, to regulate of line".

Moreover Venetian Assoagenti has found as an advanced warning was founded two months ago from the association about the deleterious effect that would have had the decision to unify the commercial traffic and that crocieristico to Marghera Port ( on 25 September 2013). "If us it had been some need - it has evidenced Assoagenti - has had the new evidence than from we already expressed and that is that the co-existence in Marghera Port of the two traffics would represent a tragic destiny for both the productive truths are for the incompatibility, are strongly for the economic impact negative on the cost of the nautical services. This is worth above all in obvious way for "the large" ships, over the 96,000 tons of tonnage, to new evidence that turns out necessary a substantial revaluation by the competent organs of the limits to impose to the passage of the ships during the transitory phase before the escavo of the channel of alternative access".

Venetian Assoagenti has specified which are the problems, "at the end - it has specified the association - turned out practically unsurmountable", found during the attempt to find a solution to Marghera Port for the ships excluded from the work of Mose and in particular for unit of greater tonnage of 96.000 tons. Draft in the first place of limitations deriving from specification, incompatibility of the concessions and from outage tied to the existing commercial traffic in the single titular terminals of concession; of limitations deriving from the formation of the convoys of income and escape of the ships based on the priorities; of limitations for Air-draft, with the obligation to raise a cable of Enel high voltage (demanded to make with an advance payment month), that it determines a restriction to the dimension of the ships. The problems consist also in the necessity to implement new plans of safety for the commercial terminals, in the environmental limits for the presence of dusty, malodorous materials and strong incompatible acoustic pollution with thousands of passengers in transit, in the lack of a suitable paving to the transit in safety of the passengers (presence of tracks, lack in drawn asphalt poles, logoffs), in the lack of a suitable area terminal for the operations of transit, acceptance and control of the passengers and crew, in the lack of suitable covers (also in lack of terminal) in order to guarantee the inflow of the passengers and crew and in the limitations taxes the practicability to rethink completely in order to afford the separation of the flows of the trucks from those of the passengers. Moreover - it has observed Assoagenti - sussistono risks of safety for the impossibility to reach the historical city on foot or with public transport that imposes the use of shuttles bus or lancioni, risks of safety for the impossibility to separate to the flows of the passengers from the flows of the supplies/baggages (all on the flat dock) let alone risks of safety for the presence of tight and disagiate docks also for the management of the supplies (are foods that technical).
