Today to the Fornelli Pier of the port of, near terminal LSCT, enlivened number 100,000 in from Liguria port of call is celebrated the railway wagon. The Harbour Authority spezzina has emphasized that this year the port has enlivened on track about 35% of own goods, remarkable percentage that is destined to grow until to reach 50% of the volumes graces also to the development plan of the port, to the potenziamento of the railway system and to the new society La Spezia Shunting Railways that will manage the entire railway service of the port ( on 28 November 2013).
"Today - the president of the Harbour Authority has confirmed, Lorenzo Forcieri - more than than a celebration, I would speak about the testimony of a success and a engagement for the future. The constitution of the society for the management of the railway maneuvers, the official start of the customs only door, the signature of the agreement happened yesterday between the local directions of Customs and the Harbour office for the start of the preclearing, is all elements that will carry to a development of the competitiveness of our port of call. They are, in fact, going successfully all the actions for which we have worked hard during the last few years. From January the port will be still more competitive. We hope alone - it has specified - than the "stop and go" tax from the administrative resources do not discourage the German investor who have headed about us with 200 million euros that they will serve to realize the works of the Portuale Town development plan and that they will create good occupation for hundred of young people spezzini".
"With this occasion - the managing director of La Spezia has declared Container Terminal (LSCT), Michele Giromini - we celebrate a year, 2013, to the standard of the development and the speed. Two words that are to the center of our engagement in order to offer to our customers more and more reliable and innovative services. The train always has been a competitive characteristic of LSCT, not only for the effects on the environmental sustainability, but also for the efficiency that earns us a system of industrial processes as that of the terminal. Our objective is to continue to grow the quota volumes via railroad and is convinced that all the actors of the La Spezia system are working together with we towards this direction. The result today is yields of a team job who involves the terminal, shippers, the MTO, the railway enterprises, the Harbour Authority and all the institutions that operate in the port".
Marco Simonetti, vice-president Marine Terminal of Contship Italy, society to which is under responsibility LSCT, has remembered that "the Contship group has the train in own DNA until from 1969, foundation year. We have always looked to the operations of dock - it has found - in way integrated with those of earth heading at the intermodalità as a service to added value on which the group it invests in order to acquire own strategic assets. With concentrating itself of the question of service by the navigation lines, the ports will be more and more found to manage great volumes concentrated on an inferior number of touched ship. The train is the efficiency answer and sustainability on the base of which we are sure, La Spezia, will continue to make the difference in the panorama of the Italian ports".
