Will ports of Alto Adriatico be managed by an only great Authority or will everyone continue to make for himself, one against the other armed men?



Yesterday the associates of the The International Propeller Club Port of Venice have discussed about the development projects of the port of Venice, and in particular of the project of the promoted offshore platform from the president of the Harbour Authority, Paolo Costa, that he is illustrated yesterday to you anticipate from the general secretary of the agency, Claudia Marcolin. "What will happen - president of Propeller Venetian Club has made one's debut, Massimo Bernardo - to the many introduced projects, while you carry and seas are churned in existence for the current political and economic turbulences in Italy of the sea"? After the new law of reform of the harbour ordering, the 84/94 and following ones, announced from minister Lupi and that he advances the hypothesis of amalgamation of some harbour truths and the zero setting of others, which it will be the new adriatic truth? There will be - one has wondered - a great Authority for a large one, extended, logistic district for the three greater ports, or everyone will continue to make for himself, one against the other armed men as the association of the ports of the Adriatic North is happening in spite of NAPA (, ndr) with Ravenna and Trieste and between Koper and Fiume" Bernardo has found that the project of the intentional and supported offshore platform from president Costa has undeniably sharpened the distances of the port of Venice, not only from the other adriatic ports, but also from that high-tirrenici that forgiveness occasion in order not to demolish this project as, if realized, it could indeed revolutionize broken and traffics to advantage firstly of Venice and then, if it is left over, also of the other ports high-adriati us. But - it has observed - the declarations of president of the Region Friuli Venice, Giulia Serracchiani, and of Of Marco, president of the Harbour Authority of Ravenna, than quite try alliances with Genoa and Trieste, in this context are not sure conciliating neither for the realization of the offshore port neither for the same life of NAPA.

"With that numbers and with which chances - it has continued Massimo Bernardo - the port of Venice will be able to contest the theses of who it does not want and priority sentence to the shipwreck the offshore platform, as for example Pierluigi Maneschi of group TO DELTA who speaks about "mission impossible", as well as Luigi Negri (SECH), Carlo Merli (Savona-Go), Gavio Group, Cosulich, Battistello (Contship) and even Gianluigi Aponte, all contrarys at work. Or, it will be acted of overbearingness, with the force of the EU and it will be able or have to be covered will the road supported from Brussels, than also it has already financed part of the project in a scene that, as recently announced in the IV° Relationship of Centro Studi and Ricerche for Southern Italy of the Group Understanding Saint Paolo, emerges clearly that in the Mediterranean it has been and it will continue to being to us a real contest to the conquest of market shares that but our national portualità is clamorously losing? An Italian market share - president of Propeller Club Port of Venice has remembered - than in the traffic container is come down from 28% to 16% with various situations for Gioia Tauro from 20% to 12%, Cagliari from 4% to 3%, Taranto from 4% to 1%, while it is the side of the Mediterranean South that gives 2005 to 2013 has increased own quota from 18% to 27% with Port Saïd passed from 10% to 14% and Tanger Med, in Morocco, that it has polarized 10% of saying traffic, not to mention Pireo passed from 10% to 12% as chosen from COSCO Pacific that work with a thirty-year concession. In 2013 - it has emphasized - the scene to the detriment of the Italian ports still changes: Tanger Med increases of 34%, Pireo of 15.3% and Ambarli, Turkish port, of 9%, while Gioia Tauro marks, fortunately, a +13%".

In the course of the Bernardo debate one has wondered if "it is more or less important and, how much counts, the "verdict" of the public opinion in order to realize the works: I want to only remember - it has specified - than from the times of Ing Alberto Toniolo, in years ‘60, to Giorgio Longo, Pilla, Of This and then still to Bonicciolli, Zacchello and today to Coast (are passed almost 70 years) of alternate presidencies, the port of Venice remains, from always, large the absent one in the city culture. Indeed, very often its activity is perceived not as an element of social development and economic increase, but almost as an element of disturbance of the daily city life, in order not to express speak about the case cruises and great ships, typical scene of an ignoble sea battle and fratricide, this yes true boomerang to planetary level not only economic but also of image of the city". "The true question - it has added - is turned also to all we: what we have constructed in favor of the port in all these years? Better: the harbour entrepreneurs and operators from a part and the agencies you premail from the realized other cos'hanno in favor of the development of the entire section when sheds, large squares and docks are not certainly enough to make large a port if then the propulsive thrust lacks its people of belongings? Therefore to Venice it is shared from the presentation of the new Portuale Town development plan, town-planning instrument that will have to be shared with many other public bodies, but that it would have to be functional to the many requirements of who work in port and also more in general terms up Adriatic. Consequently, without to make names, the next president, we say of the lagoon portualità or - who knows - of the adriatic high system, will have to be still a politician, a technical-logistic one, or who, and in order to make what: in order to throw again our adriatic sea and our ports in the new scenes that the globalization of the markets already for a long time anticipates to us? And as and in that you finish, seen the truth of the facts in the relationships between ports, it can be still spoken about "coopetition", term much beloved to Paolo Costa and Maurizio Maresca, while the decisive ones of the destiny and the future of a port or a harbour system are the single true markets"
