To Venice the conclusive event of the Adriamos project



To Venice, to the presence of the European coordinator for the Freeways of the Sea, Brian Simpson, and of president of Net Mediterranean Autostrade (RAM), Antonio Cancian, the conclusive event of the project Adriamos (Adriatic Motorways of the Sea has held) that it has had the objective to develop to the flow of marine transport of rotabili between the port of Venice and the ports of the western coast of Greece (Igoumenitsa and Patrasso). In the lagoon city the project has been realized with the realization of the new terminal ro-ro that it is operating already from last May to Fusina (Marghera).

The terminal of Fusina is yields of a public-private investment of about 250 million euros of which only 37 at the expense of the public sector, subdivided between financing of the Harbour Authority of Venice, of the Italian government, the European Union and the Region of Veneto, and 80 at the expense of Venice Ro-Port Mos, the society that has constructed and now manages the terminal in concession.

The new terminal can accommodate four ferries at the same time and offer, by virtue of excellent street and railway connections, logistic services major-league. In the first six months of operativity to Fusina fleeting vehicles and 42 thousand are enlivened beyond 18 thousand reaching important performances in terms of efficiency (refuel/defuel of every ship in a single hour).

They are piled to beyond 12 million euros the financings granted from the EU that they are used for the realization of concrete initiatives in order to increase a service of marine, regular and reliable transport between the port of Venice and the Greek ports. If Venice has been equipped with the new terminal, in the Greek port of Igoumenitsa instead the preliminary studies for the realization of a logistic pole are realized (interporto) whose benefits will transform in broken new and new traffics between the two Countries.

"The event today - president of Net Mediterranean Autostrade has commented, Antonio Cancian - demonstrates as the current conjuncture is particularly in favor of the development of progettualità to high added value, by virtue of the design of the great European infrastructural nets and of the resources put in field from Europe for their realization. For the Italian ports the challenge is twofold: to join in the European multimodali corridors adapting to the connection infrastructures iron-rubber-water and to develop advance logistic services to advantage of the productive woven one of the territory, prevailing as real device drivers of increase. RAM, as operating arm of the Ministry of Infrastructures, intends to collect this challenge, operating as trait of union between the availabilities expressed from the European programs of financing and the development of programs clear and shared for I throw again of the competitiveness of the Italian portualità".

"We conclude - the European coordinator for the Freeways of the Sea has said, Brian Simpson - an important project that it has allowed to connect the south of Europe, Italy and Greece, a project that finds His Excellency in the ability to cut the times of connection between the markets and to allow with goods and people of being able to choose also the way of the sea, besides the road, for being able itself to move easily. For the future we look with interest to all the area of the Mediterranean, as well as to the Adriatic, in order to understand as we can contribute to develop new projects and to stimulate investments. To February we will close the next call for new projects, we have a budget on hand of 300 million euros to invest for next the three years".
