the shippers of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona want to be protagonists of the development of from Liguria portualità



The shippers of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona want to be between the protagonists of the development of the primary logistic nodes constituted by the ports of the three cities and by the entire from Liguria marine-harbour system. With this objective they intend to be, more than only active part, managers of the more and more huge flow of information and data exchanged for via data transmission from the different subject of the logistic chain and from the prelocated authorities to the control and the regulation of the traffics.

At the beginning of this year the Association Shippers Couriers and Conveyors of Genoa (Spediporto), the Association of the Shippers of the Port of La Spezia and the Association Shipping agents Raccomandatari Agents Marine Mediating Airplane and Shippers of the Provinces of Imperia and Savona (Isomar) has introduced their project Ligurian Logistic System with the scope to join the forces in order to pursue common objectives ( on 26 January 2015).

Today the common collaboration has lead to the development to Genoa, in the center of the Harbour Authority to Saint George Palace, of the combined shareholders' meeting of the three associations, presided respective by Maurizio Fasce, Alessandro Laghezza and Alessandra Orsero, that it has been occasion in order to announce the intention to make oneself promotrici, between the operators, of a system of interoperability between Port Community System (PCS) harbour called IPCS InterPort Community System.

Spediporto, the association spezzina and that savonese have explained that the scope is "to manage, together with the other actors of the portualità - terminalisti, agents and conveyors - the efficiency generated from a optimization of the informative and operating cycles that subtends to beyond 16 million data".

"Our esteem - the three associations of the directive council remember in the report that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics", they say that on every ten documents exchanged in from Liguria ports, seven belong to the shippers, because from generated, managed they or supplied to the system".

That in the hands of the shippers is a patrimony - the associations explain - than is felt to share and to put on of that Liguria that it wants to make system, provided that - they specify and they emphasize - it entrusts we, together with the other harbour operators, a serious one and effective role in the management of the Port Community Systems and of what we hope can be, tomorrow, a InterPort Community System".

In this Spediporto within, the Association of the Shippers of the Port of La Spezia and Isomar have clarified their position on the logistic corridors and in particular on the activities necessary in order to make you to journey the goods - beginning from the customs assistance -, operations that many are worried end in public hands and contribute to elsewhere transfer the wealth produced from the traffic of the container, as yesterday complained from the Aspedo - Association Spezzina Doganalisti ( on 26 March 2015).

To such purpose the three associations have rimarcato that "the shippers are very aware of the ineludible evolutionary challenges taxes from the market, and as such they are not worried to them, but they want and in a sure measure, they expect, than our Public Administration he creates and he put on instruments in order to face, to weapons pairs with our European competitors, these evolutions. Therefore with sincere spirit of system we say yes to every real form of evolution but - they have emphasized the three organizations of category - with as much determination, we will oppose ourselves to every finalized initiative to replace the public hand to the private activities, because with this hundreds of enterprises would be damaged and the existence of thousands of places of work would be endangered".

An answer to these worries has reached from the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa. "To abolish the corridors - it has supported Luigi Merlo in the course of the today's assembly - it would be a defeat". A solution - according to the number one of Saint George Palace, that it has participated for the last time as president of the harbour agency to the sat one of the shippers being reached expiration its second term - could be that to inside realize of the port areas for the manipulation of the goods: "to Genoa - it is the exhortation of Merlon - we rethink to the Ilva areas"

In the within of the agreement of program on the steel mills of Cornigliano for the dismissione of the area in the heat of the moment of the Ilva steel mills and for the reconversion of the area dismessa from the genoese iron and steel work, that 1999 were signed in November and modified in October 2005, to the port square metres would be up 128 thousand to assign exactly to functions of harbour logistics to install after the reclamation of the area at the expense of the public company Society for Cornigliano, than it has still today not carried to term the job.

The project of logistic area was in auge in was to press it. Then it was spoken to manipulate the goods in harbour within in order to on the spot withhold part of the wealth produced from the containerized marine traffics. Then it has fallen in the dimenticatoio. At the end of its mandates from president of the Harbour Authority genoese Merlo it seems to resume it in consideration.

That relative one to the new logistic area is one of those not classifiable projects second the outlines in use today. It does not take part of great infrastructures included in last the Slowly Material one of Operas elaborated from the Harbour Authority neither of the impalpabili infrastructures that constitute the Immaterial Plan of which the shippers speak. It is one of those apparently too much banal projects that are to half between the two Plans and that nobody seems in a position to carrying to term not even in Biblical times.
