To risk to Taranto, besides the traffic of the container, there is the iter of approval of the Portuale Town development plan
In the city it is interrogated to us on the future of the port with or without terminal container and a cancellation of the procedure of adoption of the PRP is feared
November 6, 2014

They are difficult times, these, for the port of Taranto, than last week it has been object of a conclusosi summit to Rome with the assurance by the undersecretary to the presidency of the Council, Graziano Delrio, that by now the administrative obstacles are exceeded all and bureaucratic that delayed the start of the necessary works of infrastructuring for I throw again of the harbour activity ( on 31 October 2014). To drag on of the delays that have remarkablly emphasized the possibility that the taiwanese shipowning group you abandon the Jonian port definitively, where it manages the terminal for containers through the society Terminal Container Taranto (TCT).

During the last few years the containerized trade enlivened from the port, as evidenced from the diagram to flank, has recorded a remarkable contraction. The eventuality that to the port of call comes to lack a landing place for the portacontainer is examined tuesday from the The Propeller International Club Port of Taras, the cultural association constituted by operating premises of the transport, in the course of the entitled encounter "the port of Taranto with or without terminal container" that it has been organized in order to discuss about the future of the port of call. Below we publish the relation of president of Propeller Club of Taranto, Michele Conte, in which the importance for any port and the territories of infuence of having examines or not to have a terminal containers.

If it appears discounted the necessity to arrange of a container terminal for a port that has the ambition to intercept international traffics, equally obvious it is the necessity that a port plans own future also through the planning of the works defined in a harbour town development plan. To Taranto it is to risk also this instrument of programming. The same Michele Conte and Valentino Gennarini have denounced, to title of marine agency Gennarini of Taranto, that they have remembered that "the town development plan of the Port of Taranto, left for its editing in 2001, has obtained in the 2007 understanding between Municipality and Harbour Authority and immediately after the adoption of the Harbour Committee" and that "has been able so to begin along and laborious I walk for the next opinions of the Higher council of the Public works, the environmental appraisal, the strategic appraisal, the appraisal of risk and, inside these, the opinions of other numberless public administrations". "Own when, come to an end the pletorica and laborious preliminary investigation, after the last ritardatissimi formal implementations of the Municipality, could as expected have obtained finally the final approval of the Region, from codicil 4 of law 84/94 - Conte and Gennarini have explained - here instead that the modification demanded from the Town council of cancellation of the extension of the wharf arrives oils, it is said… in order to avoid the installation, outside of the port, the two tanks "Red Tempa"". Red Tempa is an oil reservoir in Basilicata whose exploitation is planned by the oil groups Total, Mitsui and Shell. It is previewed that the project will develop in the port of Taranto a marine traffic for handling of coming crude oil from the Refinery of Taranto of about 90 ships per year. "Well, if the laws have still valence - they have found Conte and Gennarini - consider that all the iter istruttorio for the approval of the Portuale Town development plan it will fail. In fact the editing and the iter istruttorio are born before to Taranto it is spoken about Red Tempa and therefore the new town development plan of the port contemplates, between the others, this system, and all the documents the studies and the appraisals hold account of the extension, to eliminate means it to do again and to riapprovare those studies and the appraisals. Therefore all it recommences. The risk is that together with the dirty water (but the tanks of Red Tempa it are not) throw also the newborn child! The construction of Red Tempa would be useful to the harbour traffics. Perhaps we do not want to enter in the environmental disputes, of it we would not have the scientific and not even political competence, but however it does not have some incidence to the aims of the approval of the town development plan. The cancellation of the iter istruttorio of the PRP - they have concluded Conte and Gennarini - has instead heavy consequences for the port in order to remain competitive (for its infrastructural adaptation and the backdrops) and the city also in forecast of the restitution of the areas of the dock of San Cataldo to the old city and in order to contribute to its rebirth".




The PORT of TARANTO
"With or without Terminal containers".

We consider that it is not opportune to get to the point of the responsibilities of the most difficult conjuncture that it is crossing the Port of Taranto in particular for the events that are characterizing the Terminal containers with the fallen back negatives are for the occupation, than for the opportunities of development of the intermodal activities of logistics of the entire port and in particular for the same structures of the Logistic Plate under realization, devised and planned according to the manipulation of the containers. The logistic plate together with the Distripark (comprehensive of Agromed), to the railway connections with the national net and to the airport cargo of Grottaglie-Taranto, was devised as cards of a mosaic that in with the terminal containers could give opportunity in order to contribute, united to other occasions to construct, a development of Taranto and its territory not more dependent univocamente from the key industries.

We want for this, to take care, according to Taranto, of the importance for any port and the territories of infuence of having or not to have a terminal containers beyond and with to other specificities of transport (goods several, solid and liquid bulk, members of great systems off-shore, great structures metal worker and mechanics, ro-ro, ro-pax, ferries or ships of cruise etc).

The delicacy of the negotiations in course with two primary foreign societies of vettoriamento (Evergreen) and pure terminalistica management (Hutchinson), imposes that, independently from the errors and the interests, it must be searched and be shown a solution that does not see compromises the rights of the workers and the opportunities of development of the port and the territory, holding evidently but account of the conveniences of the private and moreover foreign investor when in particular draft of.

For these reasons and in this particular moment for Taranto, we have asked that to speak them of they are three southern entrepreneurs of success that in the various branches of the marine activities they can help us to comprise which roads to undertake in particular in times of world-wide and Italian conjuncture of the economy and the marine economy. And this in order to avoid representations banal and lacking in any relationship with the truth.

A port that gradually in the time has seen smash hit operating with glares in the world:

  • it has still had and it has the most advanced integrated system than logistic manufacturer, that of the iron and steel system: supplying of the raw materials (various million tens tons per year), the distribution in turn for Italy and the world of the finished product ones (beyond 8 million tons);
  • the great componentry of metal and mechanics of which the feather in the cap it was the off-shore Belleli, performer of the greatest and complex oil platforms to the world, lost because when on the border of the failure, also in the presence of a advanced pocketbook orders to the exposures, the Italian-Argentine manufacturer titular Rock of the Techint, was about to find the company with a most limited occupational sacrifice of some dependent ten, the negotiation failed to the outcry: or all or nobody, the result was that beyond 1200 dependent they went on unemployment and still today working is accompanied to the retirement;
  • the oil logistic system with oil supplying producing crude oil and redistribution of refined in order almost 8 million tons;
  • the system of logistic cementiero that contributed to increase the harbour turnover ulteriorly;
  • the goods several that however has always found docks available to the cargo and drainage, to some carrier is never refused to Taranto its harbour operativity;
  • also the fleeting ships with carriers great and of cruise standards have also not found, when it they have demanded, the mooring and the services, at least those essential things;
  • at the end of years ‘90, after the institution of the Harbour Authority, with adapted advertising action and finding of the market conditions, one joined to a terminal containers to the service of one of the more important carriers to the world.
Today steel is in great crisis in all Italy: Taranto, Piombino, Turin and Terni, Novi Ligure and so on; the Cementerie endure, for effect also of the stasis of the field of the construction industry, serious recession; the oil refining is in crisis; the great componentry metal and mechanics is by now memory of the past; it was thought that the commercial field with the advent of the terminal containers could feed the harbour activities and of logistics with activity of manipulation and verticalizzazione of the produced ones that they travel in container is for the transhipment, but above all with the introduction on the Italian territory with intermodal logistics, and here is what for effect of heavy delays in the infrastructural adaptation of the backdrops of the terminal containers also the Evergreen carrier leaves () Taranto temporarily and is moved to Pireo where work in the Cosco terminal with which work also in trasportistico field in the “Alliances” that they are being formed and asserting in East as in the West.

Taken into consideration the continuous progresses of the ports of the Africa North, Egypt, Pireo etc, attended the collaboration of Evergreen with Cosco, can the connection from Pireo with Trieste, be assumed the return of the Evergreen traffics to Taranto? It is thinkable that some other great or medium carrier can decide to carry its traffics to Taranto? Sul terminal managed by Hutchinson, that it decides to find the parcel of shares of evergreen in order managing the terminal alone? Or on the terminal not more in concession to TCT?

Can it is hypothetical that the port of Taranto, far from all the current crocieristiche routes, for its positioning in the homonymous gulf aspire to receive fleeting ships of average and/or great capacity, and in case positive, these can guarantee that occupational and economic development that a terminal containers with induced of the manipulation and the transformation of the transported produced ones can guarantee to a territory? In Apulia already Bari and Brindisi, in row with the adriatic routes, they take care of the cruises.

These are the questions that we intend to turn to the illustrious relatori that have accepted our invitation.

Recently the ports of the Europe North, Belgian, Germans and Dutch, all with, have formally asked Europe not to finance more the ports of the Mediterranean. The president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa from president of Assoporti has asked, many times over, still before, not to finance the ports of the South concentrating the resources on the ports of the Tyrrhenian North and Adriatic North.

For as for the harbour infrastructure realization it is the case to remember that in Holland, to Rotterdam they are devised, they planned and they come true and they are put in exercise, in little more two-year-old, harbour works for beyond two billions of euro. In Italy the mean time that elapses from the ideazione of the work to its construction is not less seven-year-old to the North and very beyond 12 to the South. To this end it is hardly the case to cite that the Public Prosecutor of Roma Alberto Galanti, on 29 October has made to notify an warning of conclusion of the investigations to 26 people, generally ministerial leaders, inquired to miscellaneous title with the accusation of association in order to commit a crime, false, swindle to the damages of the State, tried corruption, extortion and abuse compulsory. That there Taranto&… with the investigation of Rome enters? The journalist asks. He explains the Public Prosecutor in the one hundred pages of warning. “That the power-duties of the Ministry and the commissariali structures - writes - are all tied to thread double the most powerful director Mascazzini (ndr former Gianfranco general manager of the Ministry of the Atmosphere) artatamente was turned not already to achieve quickly and effectively the reclamation objectives, but more rather to drain resources… he icasticamente demonstrates a decree to it of the Regional Administrative Court of C#lecce…

“From the examination of the actions - the Salentine administrative judges said - the participations until hour conceived the titular administration of the procedure, and that is the Ministry of the Atmosphere, only apparently seem to be places to protection of the health and the atmosphere, while in practice the same ones - through continuous and repentini changes of methodologies of reference parameters - contribute only to slow down if not to disregard the attainment of the objectives of reclamation of a site

....

Thoughts that the area that the Dr. Mascazzini supported that it had to be characterized, to be put in safety and to be cleared, before to carry out any dredging it is extensive 51 kilometers very squared, and naturally in order to make all this had to make use of the societies in-house of the ministry. This takes part many times over of the event that then carried me under house arrest and to a penal judgment, ended in prescription, in which it is deposited the decree of the Regional Administrative Court C#lecce, never taken in consideration. Thank goodness that there is always a judge to Berlin.
