ANCIP denunciation "I attack unprecedented" to the harbour enterprises and the nautical services technical



The National Association of the Companies and Harbour Enterprises (ANCIP) has denounced attacks unprecedented to the harbour enterprises and the nautical services technical. The presidency of the association, met last week in order to examine the initiatives in course by the government on the Italian portualità, has traced a desolating picture of the political initiatives for the field: "while it lies from months to the Senate, for a block tax from the government, an organic project of reform of the portualità and the logistics, moreover already approved of in the passage legislature - he has found the presidency of the ANCIP - after a series of auditions and with the participation of the entire marine cluster, the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports on one side maintains to the commissariamento of a third party of the Italian Harbour Authorities destrutturando the harbour field, from the other he is putting into effect how much previewed from art. the 29 of "Unblocks Italy" in order to slowly define a new one of the logistics and of the portualità whose lines they will be illustrated on 9 February next during the reunion of States general of the ports and the logistics. Meanwhile the minister of the economic Development is managing a bill that previews in the current rough draft unacceptable measures, dangerous for the enterprises that they operate in the harmful ports and for safety of the goods, the workers and the safeguard of the human life in sea. Conflicting measures also regarding governmental announcements to increase the levels of security of the frontiers after the tragic events of Paris".

"On one side - it has explained the presidency of the association - norms are invoked for competition and from the other the monopolistic positions of some terminalisti consolidate, from the other cancel (art.17 of the law the 84/94) pools of labor (beyond 1.200 harbour ones), the national contract of job of the harbour workers and every caution and safety regulation of the workers who operate in the ports. I attack to all the enterprises that operate in the ports (with the abolition of codicil 7 of art. the 16) and the emptying of the tasks of the Harbour Authorities and the Marine Authorities (General Command of the Harbour offices) of control and authorization to development of the harbour operations and the harbour enterprises".

"I unprecedented attack - it has specified the ANCIP - also to the nautical services technical (pilots, ormeggiatori and tugs), to which the rates with the method of the price-CAP, when it is demonstrated that such method of calculation involves exorbitant costs for the shipowners, regarding those current ones would be wanted even to be imposed. An approach still more narcotic after the tragic events happened in the Adriatic Sea with the fire of Norman Atlantic and the sinking of the cargo in where presses of the port of Ravenna own the existence of the structured nautical services technical and prepared it has allowed to save tens of human lives".

The ANCIP therefore has confirmed to reject "clearly such formulations that moreover show a insufficient acquaintance of proposing of the harbour field".

Remembering that "the traffic of the container in the Italian ports does not exceed 25% of the traffics and 28% in Europe" and that "are also a 75% of traffic that goes to serve the enterprises placed in the Italian territory that seems to disappear in the analyses of the government", the ANCIP has announced to offer "the full availability to participate to the unitary initiatives with the other associations of the marine cluster, with the labor organizations of the workers so that such designs are cancelled and it can be continued in the approval of the bills already to the examination of the Parliament and in order to define the contents of i provisions of which to art. the 29". The ANCIP has manifested also "the ready availability to participate to stiff initiatives of fight to safeguard the harbour enterprises, the workers and safety in the ports and the Country".
