From Genoa years and its port they do not succeed to equip of a car park and Trasportounito nozzle a protest



Not that Gian Enzo Duci and Maurizio Fasce, mondays, have said that all in the port of Genoa goes smoothly ( on 31 March 2014). Certainly but the presidents of the associations of the shipping agents and the genoese shippers, than for the first time have reunited Assagenti and Spediporto in a combined assembly, evidencing almost exclusively the suitable digital road which covered to make to develop the logistic-harbour system of the capital of Liguria have decided to elude topics traditionally places under examination from their predecessors.

Not to case if in recent years the defects of the government of the portualità and the economy of Genoa found by the past president of the two associations were received sometimes with resentment or bitterness from the holders of the administrations and city institutions, mondays the representatives of the public affairs have appreciated the look turned to the future of the two young presidents of Assagenti and Spediporto, among other things headed at a distance - that of computer science to service of the logistics - than for same admission of Duci and Fasce has already reached a level of unimaginable efficiency years ago.

However it is not at all necessary to turn the look behind in order to characterize the magagne of the genoese logistic-harbour system. Enough to look the window and to examine the current state of the things. Who, if not the haulers who daily travel towards the port of Genoa or exit from its crosses, more is titled to estimate the state of efficiency of the income and the escape of the goods from the port of call, not on the digital roads but on those asphalted indispensable yesterday, today and in future to assure the connection of the port with its markets?

In fact to touch on a sore point us Trasportounito has quickly thought, that it has indetto a manifestation "also in order to sign - has explained textual the union of the road haulage - an alliance with the citizens against the bad administrators".

If the immaterial roads are almost sgombre, those asphalted just seem neglected from the genoese harbour administration so as from the communal agency. "A car park - it is the severe ascertainment of the current scene of Trasportounito - planned twenty years ago, moved virtually from a place to the other of the city and never realized. Trucks (more than 3.000 to the day) that the suspensions are destroyed on dissestate roads, abandoned spaces of pause in all the West city, but never granted, forced haulers to use tumbledown buildings as toilets to opened sky, a more and more dangerous overlap between heavy means traffic and city traffic".

According to Trasportounito it is the moment to say enough "proposing - it has announced the union - a great alliance to the genoese citizenship, cheat as the enterprises of road haulage from institutions, from the Harbour Authority to the local authorities, the Chamber of Commerce, than from a quarter of century they do not maintain promised retabling them as new in occasion of every convention. Alliance that will be sanctioned from a public manifestation 12 saturdays April, with the performance of Tir snail, along truck procession that the center will cross city until the Prefecture".

"Genoa, the port, the citizenship and beyond 1.700 assigned enterprises of road haulage with 10.000 - the general secretary of Trasportounito has denounced, Maurizio Longo, for years representative of the road haulage in the Committee of the Harbour Authority of Genoa - are paying the highest price that will become indefensible shortly". "The penalizations on the quality of the life in the quarters near the port - it has found Longo - are obvious, as it is the progressive loss of commercial efficiency, speeds and competitiveness of the port. As it is the by now tangible risk of an offshoring of enterprises of road haulage (with consequent loss of occupation on the genoese territory) towards Piemonte and Lombardy".

With the Trasportounito manifestation it intends to denounce "the precise responsibilities that exist behind this progressive degradation. A denunciation - it has specified the union - that regards the project of the car park. Before "placed" in the Colisa area, therefore assumed to Fields, therefore to Trasta, now in the former areas Ilva di Cornigliano or near the airport. With a single result: the car park does not exist. The only existing parking is to Fields, a swamp, characterized from chasms in asphalt, from the total absence of services, risks for the incolumità of the drivers. The all to costs salaries in order to park that they are double regarding those paying in other territories".

Trasportounito has anticipated that monday will introduce to the prefect a detailed dossier on the engagements disregarded from the local authorities, citing among other things - it has specified the union - "an emblematic case: a group of haulers nearby of Ethiopia Bridge has financed and realized a small center of showers and toilets publics, only to the service of the road haulage. Result. the Harbour Authority for red tape - it has accused Trasportounito - never has not been made loaded to manage the structure (for other automated one) and the haulers continue to use old tumbledown buildings as services to sky opened in disastrous sanitary conditions".

The president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa wants to leave a sign of its experience the guide of the port. Luigi Merlo thinks to the start of the procedure for the construction of a new outer dam to some hundreds of meters to sea from the current one. An imposing work, in short. It would come to say pharaonic. Certainly a car park would constitute a less marked sign. Also this inheritance, but, would guarantee an increase of the efficiency of the port that yesterday, today, but also tomorrow and for many years to come will not be able to dispense with the road haulage. Instead criticizing the trucks, it is perhaps now to begin to manage them at best.
