Also Federagenti protests for the Eurostat data, but it informs: Italy of the ports indeed risks to sink



Federagenti, the National Federation Agents, Raccomendatari Marine and Mediating Marine, agrees partially () with the protest of the president of the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti), Pasqualino Monti, and of the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, Luigi Merlo, for the calculation of the volume of traffic enlivened in 2012 from the Italian ports that are elaborated by the statistical office European Eurostat, appraisal that - Monti and Merlo have denounced - does not reflect the truth of the Italian portualità ( on 18 March, 19 March and 19 March 2014). In particular, Merlon has contested to Eurostat to have attributed to the port of Genoa a volume of inferior containerized trade to that really enlivened from the port of call of the capital of Liguria. In the approachable page to this link we publish an elaborated diagram inforMARE that it evidences the differences, in excess or defect, between the data I am diffused by Eurostat and those introduced from the Harbour Authorities of some of the main European ports.

"President Monti is right - he has observed the president of Federagenti, Michele Pappalardo - when he says that the traffic of 2013 has grown (in many cases more for the ability of the marine operators whom for the ability of great part of our ruling class) and that must hold account of the fragmentation of our ports cause the orographic nature of our Country (but we not we have made nothing from decades in order to resolve the problem)".

"President Merlo is right - he has added Pappalardo - when protest that the data of its Genoa are undershoot and are true perhaps that relative statistics to 2012 on the European portualità are impietose for the Italian ports and do not reflect real state of health and the effective role of many of our ports of call. Because it is continued to compare not homogenous truths and to for example forget that in some fields, as the traffic of transhipment and the crocieristico traffic, Italy however maintains a leadership European (even if obviously it could be made more so much)".

"But those rigidly statistical and amassed data - it has emphasized the president of Federagenti - tell us also that Italy of the ports indeed risks to sink. It is true that it is not all so, but could be it shortly if it will not be taken part in fast times reorganizing and cancelling where possible above all those bureaucratic constraints that prevent to the natural logistic platform of the Mediterranean (Mare Nostrum) to attract those traffics that for our guilt only pass to us in front of without stopping themselves".
