Alarm of president of Propeller Club Port of Taras for the decline of the port of Taranto



President of the The International Propeller Club Port of Taras, Michele Conte, nozzle an alarm for the decline of the activity of the port of Taranto, port of call that in the first eleven months of 2013 has recorded a bending of the -22% of the volume of the goods enlivened. Count emphasizes as recent studies, as that of the specialistic society Jones Lang LaSalle, indicates that the volume of the transported containers by sea could double from today to 2030. "Taranto - president of Propeller Club remembers - at the end of years ‘90 had made sure a slice of this market adapting quickly between the ‘98 and 2001 (ideazione, contract, execution and test of the work) the Polisettoriale Pier (work made unusable for 20 years) to terminal containers offering to Evergreen (that the possibility operated to Gioia Tauro) to install own terminal of distribution of the Mediterranean. Consequently the possibility was devised and programmed that in bordering lands to the harbour area a Distripark and of the harbour area came true inside, contiguous to the railway and in wait street net goods, a logistic platform to the aim to transform the traffic of transhipment (passage of the transported containers in oceanic crossings from the great ships - ships mothers to smaller ships - ships feeder-) for the redistribuzione, with routes shortly beam of the containers, always closed and with the goods to work in the ports of final destination. To Taranto 100-150 euro and little occupation, to destination or in the centers of working 100-1,500 euros and great occupation".

Count evidences as other ports are being equipped in order to answer to the wait increase of the transported containerized volumes from the ships, and they make it also equipping themselves of logistics systems or increasing of the efficiency. "Taranto - it finds - was and is one of the little ports outside city and with great spaces on hand. Obviously - Count specifies - the question for logistic systems varied according to localization and of the characteristics of every single port and from the apt land availability for the development. Various companies in Europe and the world are planning and intensifying the development of the "warehouse-stores" (Distripark) and own this field can become a real estate opportunity for the logistic one and the development of the occupation to environmental impact almost zero. To this point does the question rise spontaneous, because instead to Taranto the traffic of the containers is reduced almost to zero and has the Distripark project become a mysterious object of which "… it is better than it is not spoken… ", while the expenses but continue? And - denunciation president of Propeller Club - if it is not spoken about development projects about that it is spoken? If a lot which displayed apulian harbour platform will not be will destination of a slice of the containers that travel the world be able to give the goodbye to the increase of the ports, to interporto (yes those apulian), to the airport cargo, the rail shipment and the logistics in general terms and - Count concludes - if not there is logistics that future attends to us? We are at the beginning of a new year of was globalizzata, but Taranto returns behind".
