June 13, 2014
For the German party Alliance ‘90 - the Greens it is necessary to define a political new of development for the port of Amburgo not based exclusively on the increment of the traffic of the containers. Remembering that the precedence esteem that indicated for the 2025 attainment of a volume of containerized trade in the German port of call pairs to 25 million teu has been time reorganized to 15,4 million teu, this morning to Amburgo the president and the spokesman of the group parliamentarian of the Greens, Jens Kerstan and Anjes Markas, have introduced ten proposals of the party for the future of the marine industry of the city. The objective - Kerstan has said - is "to impose a cultural revolution in harbour politics of Amburgo". The intention is to confer a "rather which conciliated environmental leadership" to the port, in which economy and ecology they are not excluded mutually and they are not opposed, but. A leadership that - second the Greens - could also safeguard the economic importance of the harbour port of call for the city.
In particular, they support the Greens, the days of increase to two figures of the traffic of the container they are ended and instead that on the single number of the containers, little important concerning economic return for the local economy above all for that it concerns to the traffic of transhipment, constituted from container that they are reshipped by a ship to another, the port of Amburgo would have to concentrate on the development of those fields of activity, as some types of conventional bulk and the goods, that they generate added value for the city, places of work and entrances of fiscal nature.
Moreover the port, that it is the only port of call of world-wide importance placed in the middle of a city - has found Kerstan - would have to be founder of the "ecological modernization" and to become a window in order to introduce efficient environmental technologies and clean and all over the world to offer know-how-how, new producing and services.
