November 21, 2014
Ischia Lines, company controlled integrally from Ustica Lines of the Morace family, has announced that it does not intend to continue in the project of the services of marine connection between Naples and the Island of Ischia. The navigation company has explained that the decision is taken "to valley of a period in which the society has had to battle with the numerous difficulties of the local bureaucracy".
"The society, purposely constituted and with center to Naples - Ischia Lines has remembered - in fact had been seen illegittimamente to reject from the Campania Region a first request of introduced authorization in May 2014. Promoted rerun to the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT adverse the aforesaid refusal, the Region approved of (to August 2014) new regulations (11 August, n. 6, ndr) that it cancelled the precedence and therefore Ischia Lines was forced to introduce the new requests, but these last ones remained letter dead woman. Also the communal authorities of the Island, interested so that they expressed own opinion favorable to the initiative - have denounced the company - they have not given some concrete reply to the legitimate requests of the new operator. Last, the recent regional ban for the confidence of the "services minimums" has definitively convinced Ischia Lines to abandon the project, being the irrisorietà of the allocated contribution for services assumed and the placed limitations to the participation (for absurdity must guarantee the service contextually is with fast units that with ferry boats)".
Ischia Lines has emphasized that "it does not intend to attend ulteriorly, continuing to battle with the local governments in order to assert own rights, dispersing own resources waiting for yearned for authorizations for the development of an entrepreneurial activity that, moreover, would have to be of free market".
Ischia Lines therefore has confirmed the abandonment of the Gulf of Naples "having left it - it has specified the company - own bureaucracy and wishing good fortune to the partenopei shipping colleagues who give years they try to guarantee the connections with the Islands in spite of the crisis of the field and so complex the administrative context".
