Al via the contest for the dredging of the Port Channel of Fiumicino



Perhaps it will not be an armistice, that reached today from the Harbour Authority of Civitavecchia and the municipal administration of Fiumicino, but it has all the appearances of being at least a truce. At the beginning of this month the communal agency in fact had announced the intention to estimate, after the verifications with the Harbour Authority on the development of the new Commercial Port of Fiumicino, if to operate for the escape from the area of competence of territorial administrative division of the Harbour Authority of Civitavecchia, Gaeta and Fiumicino.

In a voted agenda to majority in consiliare classroom the Municipality had denounced the lacked ones promised and the substantial immobility on the territory the harbour agency, let alone the continuous ones and respected participations of the Harbour Authority regarding the realization of all or does not leave of the project of the new Commercial Port, had to bureaucratic diffuseness and substantial inertia of the agency; the lacked realization a dock fishings boat, solution that - it had remembered the Municipality of Fiumicino - would free also the current Port Channel; the lacked realization a new pedestrian bridge and the mass in safety of last the 150 meters of the Port Channel, long attended necessary work and.

"We cannot attend - the mayor of Fiumicino had explained, Esterino Montino- that succeeds something infallible. The priority is the mass in safety of the channel and the start of the development of the commercial port. After months of talks, it meet, promises, working hypothesis, contacts with our offices of the Urban planning and reunions for the yard road - it had denounced - we are to the nothing to all purposes and effects. An inertia demonstrated not only for the great projects but also for the simple maintenance of the Port Channel and the mass in safety of the assigned sectors. They are years that Fiumicino and its territory attend concrete answers, provisions that testify the interest and the centrality of Fiumicino by the agency and its representatives. Not draft - it had emphasized - of political colors, this or that president of the Harbour Authority, but of works and projects that inside regard safety of the state property areas, the docks and the development of the territory. Until now the only investments made from the Harbour Authority have regarded exclusively the ports of Gaeta and Civitavecchia. We cannot more accept it".

A climate of lasted hostility until now, when it is agreed what it appears to be exactly a cease fire. "The next week - they have jointly announced same mayor Montino and the president of the Harbour Authority of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta, Pasqualino Monti - the procedures of contest will begin finalized to the dredging of the Port Channel of Fiumicino as already agreed at the end of the slid year between Municipality and Authority". "The work - they have explained - will begin to April, as soon as carried out all the procedures, and will be finalized to a work that the city of Fiumicino attends from long time".

"The expense engagement - they have added Montino and Monti - is gone around around 550 thousand euros and the project previews the dredging of the backdrops in proximity of the river mouth and the areas of the channel that anticipate criticality for navigation. The captured sediments will come rilocati and used for the filling of the overwhelmed bathtub of already existing and where the commercial port will have to rise".

It is - they have concluded - "an optimal news for the fishermen, the diportisti and the operators of the field who use the port of Fiumicino. The engagement of the Municipality and the Authority will be that to in future operate also for the valorization and the development of the harbour area with a particular attention to the realization of the new commercial port".
