ESPO is realizing a code of good practical for the ports in which they land cruise ships and ferries
Councils on the acceptance of the fleeting ships in matter of applied policies and services available will be proposed
June 3, 2014
The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) is realizing a code of good practical for the ports that receive cruise ships and ferries. "An always greater number of European ports - Eeva Hietanen has explained, Fleeting president of the Committee of ESPO - is involved in crocieristiche activities. Moreover the traffic of the ferries remains an important market for numerous European ports. Goods and passengers-crocieristi must answer to completely various requirements and in many cases both the functions must be arranged. I am pleased that inside ESPO we can place still more attention to as the Harbour Authorities could face the challenges of this field that are important and in fast increase".
The objective of the code about to definition by ESPO is that to reunite practical experiences of the activity of the European ports in the segment of the cruises and the ferries and to propose to the European ports councils on the acceptance of the fleeting ships in matter of applied policies and services available. ESPO has specified that in order to reach such scope the association is ready to face a constructive debate with the organizations that represent the crocieristiche companies or with other subjects that operate in the fields of the cruises or the ferries.
"The experience with the "Green Guide" and the "Tails of Practice on Societal Integration of Ports" of ESPO - it has found Isabelle Ryckbost, general secretary of the association of the European ports - demonstrates that this approach bottom-up works and that is one of the better ways in order to penetrate itself in a problem that is becoming more and more difficult for the European ports, in order to disclose bonds examples and to motivate the others to make more better. I am convinced that the job of the Committee Fleeting of ESPO will produce to another instrument much profit for the European Harbour Authorities".
