the Chamber of Commerce of Savona lists the "ten good reasons" in order to defend the autonomy of the port of the city



They are the ten motivations for which, second the Chamber of Commerce of Savona, the Harbour Authority of the city does not see to be accorpata to that of Genoa as expected from the plan of reorganization of the governance of the Italian ports proposed from minister Maurizio Lupi. The Chamber of Commerce has listed to them this morning in the course of an encounter to which he has convened all the economic categories of the province, on behalf of which therefore he has asked to maintain the autonomy of the port of Savona-Go in order not to make useless the job that, in the years, he has allowed with the savonese port of call to conquer a role of relief in the within of the national portualità.

"We must remain strong in Liguria - it has emphasized to you anticipate the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Luciano Pasquale - in order to make to become all from Liguria system more hard". With respect to the hypotheses of harbour reform, under consideration Paschal it has manifested the availability of the savonesi economic categories "to work with all on proposals of efficiency recovery, spending review, greater competitiveness, but - it has specified - we do not accept as argument land you finish which parochialism, isolationism, fratricide wars. And the competition between the ports, as they demonstrate the crocieristici traffics - it has observed Paschal - is an important factor of competitiveness. The leadership of the Liguria in Italy is not dropped from above, but it asserts with the results, and in so far as to have three ports "Core" is better than to have two, also in order to respect the job that it has made to Savona in all these years".

Here which are - it has illustrated the Chamber of Commerce - the "ten good reasons in order to defend the autonomy of Savona-Go", port that "has all papers in order for being considered a port of call "Core", that is of important national and European interest (current the exclusion of Savona-Go from the ports "Core" so as intended to European level - it has specified the agency - depends "from an only criterion - the lacked attainment the minimal threshold of the traffics - objective that moreover will be centered already in 2017 with the start of the operativity of the platform containers").

In the first place - it has specified the Chamber of Commerce - Savona-Go "is the first Mediterranean port for import of fruit" and is "between the first five Italian ports for specialized traffics general cargo, as cellulose and car". Moreover "it is the fifth national crocieristico port and twelfth for total traffic of passengers", "it is the eighth Italian port for the solid bulk and ninth for the liquid bulk" and "it is the thirteenth port for traffic of containers". In sixth place - the Chamber of Commerce has explained, "second the relative Istat data to 2012, Savona-Go is the twelfth Italian port for total traffics, sopravanzando five considered ports "Core" from the reform proposal and therefore candidated to maintain the status of Authority". In more "the index than efficiency elaborated from the ministry of Infrastructures and Transports he places the Harbour Authority of Savona in 2012 in front of seven considered ports "Core"". Savona-Go is also "the fifth port in Italy for generated Internal Revenue (1,2 billion euros) in front of 12 ports "Core" and is to the seventh place for entrances from concession canons". Besides this, "in the oadstead of Vado Ligure the work for the realization of the only real participation of development of the Italian harbour system is on, the platform containers of APM Terminals that, in an operation of project financing from 600 million euros (155 of which represented from a financing granted to the Harbour Authority of Savona from the BEAUTIFUL ones), involves the more world-wide operating important (Maersk), where they will be enlivened operatively about 800 thousand teus/year". At last, "the port of Savona-Go directly represents the greater enterprise of the province with 2.500 people in activity on a million operating superficial square metres of and five km of docks".

For the Chamber of Commerce, therefore, "a hasty and ideological application of the reform, so as it is enunciated, besides to weaken the savonese and from Liguria harbour field directly, would produce a dramatic worsening of the efficiency of the involved and heavy administrative structures would have fallen back on the productive system not only provincial but of a immenser area, that it comprises the regions of the North the West, whose enterprises draw from the competitive challenge in dock important advantages in economic terms and of efficiency".

The Chamber of Commerce has emphasized that of the savonese port is a supported assertion tenured "also from the introduced rate innovation is in the operating management (independent the railway system for cargo handling, the technologies of vanguard in the manipulation of goods and containers), is in the management of the human resources and financial institutions".

"But beyond every figure - it has found the Chamber of Commerce - there is a reason underlying to the base of the engagement with which the system of the savonesi enterprises it is opposed with firmness to a reform that previews the abolition of the Harbour Authority of Savona. The strong proclivity to the export of the local companies, the internationalization as determining factor for the resumption, the strengthening of infrastructures as pre-condition in order to develop not only to the logistics but also the industry and tourism depend in wide measure from the efficiency of the harbour activity and from the ability to coordination between institutions, enterprises and port".
