Introduced the lines guides of the ban of contest for the dry docks of Livorno
Gori (Tuscany Region): "to Piombino a pole of repairs is being born. We avoid useless doppioni. Livorno takes note some"
October 8, 2014
The Harbour Authority of Livorno, in the today's reunion of the Harbour Committee, has introduced the lines upon request guides of the ban of contest for the consent in concession of the compendium of the dry docks for a minimal duration 10-year-old, eventually estendibile until to a maximum of twenty. The concession will interest the large basin in masonry, that floating and present docks 76, the 77 and 78 with the relative watery mirrors and cranes in the areas.
In the report introduced by in charge of the procedure, the leader of the Federal property and harbour job, Matteo Paroli, are evidenced four main elements for the appraisal of the offers: the competitor will have to introduce an industrial plan that, unanimously with defined how much in the Triennial Operations plan, he will have for object the repair of the ships of average and small dimension and the construction and the refitting of the yachts; the industrial plan will have to be compatible with contiguous the anthropic and residential activities to the compendium of the basins, also in enforced town-planning reference to the prescription of the municipality of Livorno (the environmental incompatibility will be reason of exclusion of the competitor from the participation to the contest); anyone participates to the contest will have to be engaged to restore the functionalities of the assets consented in concession, comprised therefore the large basin in masonry; the industrial activities will not have to prejudice the future reconversion of the basin in masonry to the activities of repair of the ships also of great dimension.
The harbour authority has specified that for the contest a narrow procedure in two phases will be prepared: to the action of the publication of the ban the terms for the presentation of the interest manifestations will be defined; in the second phase the invitation to contest to the competitors turned out suitable in relation will be transmitted to the selection criteria.
In the course of the debate the president of the Harbour Authority, Giuliano Gallanti, has specified that in order to accommodate the great ships in the dry docks a pre-emptive modification of the Triennial Operations plan would be necessary "and, almost sure, of the Portuale Town development plan, where there are references to the naval repairs is in the report of accompanyment that in the technical norms". Therefore he has defined difficultly accoglibile, from a procedural and technical point of view, the demand for the mayor of Livorno to assign the basin in masonry to the repairs of the ships of beyond 300 meters. "The instrument of the Triennial Operations plan - it has found Gallanti - is flexible, but it is not the Town development plan. And however - it has concluded - the argument is not on the agenda. Today we must only illustrate the lines guides of the contest ban".
"The basin in masonry - the general secretary of the harbour agency has said, Massimo Provinciali - has had a its full functionality until the yard has stayed standing siblings Bordering. This umbilical cord by now is severed from: it must take note of the fact that to Livorno the naval repairs gradually have been gone devaluating. Moreover, on the escort of the last censuses carried out from the ministry of Infrastructures and the transports, Livorno more is not even not considered a ship yard".
"By the first October - he has evidenced in its participation Umberto Paoletti di Confindustria - the countdown on some fundamental games for the development of the port of Livorno is begun. Zoning, the escavi, the Portuale Town development plan: the technical times - it has observed - are not causal variables. The great economic operators want certainties and must be able to depend on actions that already are adopted by all the competent agencies and that they have carried to the preparation of necessary works for the development of the Leighorn port of call".
Also the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Livorno, Sergio Costalli, has stopped himself on the necessity to offer guarantees and certainties on the future, so that "the choices that are to the base of the instruments programmers are not subject to continuous rivisitazioni and modifications".
The commander of the Harbour office, admiral Arturo Faraone, has warned on the possible ones fallen back that a modification in order to the destination of use of the basins would have on the main instrument of planning of the port about to approval: "attention - it has admonished - we risk to having to modify the Prp".
"Any debate - it has emphasized the representative of the workers, Mauro Strazzullo (Cgil) - is legitimizes, but if they had to be brought up again the choices assumed opportunely from the interested agencies, we would risk to paralyze not only Livorno, but all the Tuscany".
From part its capogabinetto of the President's executive office of the Tuscany Region, I damage Gori, has remembered "that to little kilometers of distance from Livorno there is Piombino, on whose I throw again the government and the ministry of the Economic Development has invested 270 million euros, the 120 of which destined to the realization of a long basin 400 meters. We avoid useless doppioni - it has sped up Gori - the two ports must be developed in the optical of a sinergica complementarity".
In the course of the reunion the Harbour Committee, with the single abstention of the mayor of Livorno Filippo Nogarin, has given sent to the president of the authority to demand to the ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports the inclusion in territorial administrative division of the Harbour Authority of Livorno of the areas of properties which placed between inferior hills Pisans and the livornesi mounts. Draft of 34 thousand square metres of the Real estate Montefiori Srl and 29,500 square metres of Lino Veroni Srl acquired from the Harbour Authority of Livorno in 2004. "These areas, in the past object of controversies and controversies, also with penal implications - Massimo Provinciali has emphasized - are time in the full availability of the Harbour Authority, that it is starting projects for their valorization and their commercial use, which will follow also the return of lease canons". The general secretary has specified that the full availability of the areas constitutes a sufficient reason in order to push the harbour authority and Collesalvetti to throw again a new logistic strategy of immense area that puts in synergy industrial port, areas falling back in administrative division of Collesalvetti and the interporto: the Harbour Authority - it has remembered Provincial - stops 9.59% of the Amerigo Vespucci society that manages the Interporto Toscano, structure - it has emphasized - "that is a strategic asset for the development of the harbour traffics and the logistic fraction of the transport that is carried out on the territory, online with the ratio of article 46 of decrees Saves Italy". Provincial the Faldo, which placed in the heart of Glues to little kilometers of distance from the Leighorn port of call has evidenced also the strategicità for Livorno of the Car park, that it is the greatest warehouse of car of Europe, an area of storage in a position to receiving of 22 thousand vehicles.
The Harbour Committee has decided also renews to the society Silos and Warehouses of the Tyrrhenian one of the concession on the areas near the Pisa Dock, rear to I approach it n.41. Draft of 22 thousand square metres on which the society it in June has a concession in expiration of 2015. I renew will have lasted twenty-year. Also Autotrade and Logistics Spa has asked and obtained a marine state property concession for I use it of two areas of the total surface of 1.904 square metres near via Leonardo da Vinci with the scope equipping it for the reception of the trains used for the transport of motors vehicle and their next routing in the boarding terminal.
This morning moreover the trade-union representations of Benetti Azimut have introduced near the center of the Harbour Authority to Rosciano Palace asking audience the mayor of Livorno and to Gallanti. "We are worried - Vittorio Millella of the Rsu di Azimut has explained - between the workers is mounting a tension who we more do not succeed to control". Millella has asked lumens on the future for the basins and if it is true that they could be used for the activities of repair of the great ships: "From we - it has emphasized - they work every day more than thousand people: 624 are of Livorno and 380 come from the Tuscan comprensorio. We give occupation to 51 local companies. The repairs of the great ships are incompatible with the activities of the activities of refitting and construction of the yachts. To make a similar choice would mean send via Benetti Azimut" "the issue - it has replied the mayor - must be still debated. Nobody wants to damage to you, but I have the duty to develop a debate how much more groundbreaking possible one on the topic. I must make me guarantor of the adopted actions of address to wide majority from the town council".
