Today to Rome the mayor of Messina, Renato Accorinti, has met the Matteo Renzi, Prime Minister, and the undersecretary to the Prime Minister's Office, Graziano Delrio, to which he has illustrated the relative demands to the solution for some problematic ones for Messina, between which the proposal of the institution of a Harbour Authority of the Strait of Messina, eventually opened to integration with Gioia Tauro.
Accorinti has emphasized that the Delrio undersecretary has declared to lay by great attention to such proposal, that previews the creation of an interregional Harbour Authority between Sicily and Calabria that the port transhipment of Gioia Tauro and the area of the Strait of Messina (Messina includes, Reggio Calabria, Villa S. Giovanni). According to the messinese municipal administration the proposal follows a logic of functional complementariness and potenziamento and development of the activities, while the ventilated hypothesis of amalgamation between Messina, Catania and Augusta does not turn out convincing date the overlap of functions (crocierismo, liquid bulk) that it would determine an internal competition between Messina and Catania and Milazzo and Augusta. For Messina, instead, an interregional harbour authority appears to offer the greater perspectives of development of the activities, also to service of the potenziamento of national the marine transport, shaping the rational conformation of a polyvalent and specialized center, with Gioia Tauro first national port for traffic goods and with fleeting Messina first national port for traffic ro-ro and traffic.
