Taranto is interrogated on the reasons for which the port it is outside from the oceanic routes of the containerized transport



The provincial section of Taranto of Uil is taken part on the last events of the port of the city, that it has recently lost the landings place to the Taranto Container Terminal (TCT) of the portacontainer oceanic of the Evergreen company (that is shareholder of the same TCT) and now, in the segment of the containers, is scaled solo from ships employed in traffics feeder ( on 25 September 2014).

The general secretary of UIL Taranto, Giancarlo Turi, has remembered that in recent days the Harbour Committee of Taranto, against the paventata integral closing of the terminal to the traffics, has asked TCT to assure the minimal level of operativity, guaranteeing at least the so-called local traffic, and that the terminalista society has replied evidencing as the causes of every delay or ill service been necessary to the port of Taranto are substantially imputable to the managerial inability of the current management of the Harbour Authority and explaining that own behavior is "logical consequence of the lacked implementation of the taken engagements and the necessity to place remedy to damages caused from the delayed start ofthe work", that is of the participation of requalification of the Polisettoriale Pier on which work the terminalista society.

According to Turi, "it appears, frankly, completely instrumental to debit, to the Harbour Authority the delays in the cantierizzazione of the works, considering that the motivations reside, essentially, in the "administrative litigation you seriate them" primed from the succumbing companies, litigation whose iter it is extended, at this point, give beyond a year (next stage that of 8 October to the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT of C#lecce) ( on September 17, 2014, ndr). He would have to be, by now, very famous to all - he has found the representative of the union - than the deficiencies are of ordinamentale character and that he does not reside in the competence of some agency to place you remedy, tantomeno with the limited powers of which arranges the extraordinary commissioner, already president of the Harbour Authority".

Turi has emphasized as such situation, to beyond the dialectic skirmishes, ripercuota on the lives of thousands of workers, "whose destinies - it has evidenced - are, today, been profitable, still more complexes, in order at least two orders of reasons: approximating itself of the expiration of the treatment of redundancy fund and, meanwhile, compression of the salaries, due to the reduction of the marine traffics; the worrisome you delay, up to here accumulated - it has added Turi - do not benefit just to nobody; least of all to those workers, that they see to move away, dangerously, a long attended perspective of future".

According to president of the The International Propeller Club Port of Taras, Michele Conte, instead, "the roots of the crisis of the traffics are not yesterday or the day before yesterday and it is not sure single guilt of the lawyer-administrative events of the contracts, than - he has observed - of sure they will not end next 8 October, as instead someone, once again, has hurried to assure".

"It will be very difficult - it has stated Accounts - to comprise if the causes of the abandonment of Taranto by Evergeen, let us hope only temporary, are really due to the delays in the infrastructural works or to entrepreneurial choices tied to various organization of the traffics and the consequences of geographic infuence of the European and world-wide economic development. If so it were, but we hope that it is not just so, will have to make other very that to only hope in the execution of the programmed works".

"Because wasn't the uproar of these days - president for Propeller Club of Taranto has wondered moreover - made when TCT, on behalf of Evergreen, announced, before unofficially and then officially, than the large one of the activity of vettoriamento from Taranto it was moved to the Pireo? ( on September 5, 2011, ndr) Because asked wasn't aid then? Why - it has denounced Count - weren't all the analyses of eventual the possible errors carried out then? Because still today it is limited to us to write "pitiable" letters in turn, when then in Harbour Committee the public administrations latitano and they do not interest to know this that she is really happening also in matter of the so-called local traffic that would have to guarantee, "perhaps", the future of the workers in real times and not fantastically futuribili".
