Charon & Tourist - TTT Lines for the exercise of a line of cabotage between the ports of Catania and Naples



Cartour, society of the marine group Charon & Tourist (C&T), and the company of navigation TTT Lines has constituted joint venture called New TTT Lines for the exercise of a line of cabotage between the ports of Catania and Naples that previews I use it of two ships. The initiative involves the partial abandonment from Charon & Tourist of the port of Messina in favor of that of Catania.

"an entrepreneur - the managing director of the Caronte&Tourist has explained, Vincenzo Franza - is moved where there is the market, but also where the policies put in existence from the institutions of it promote the activity". "The entrepreneurial choices - it has added - are made in order to improve the companies. For this Charon & Tourist it exits for the first time from the port of Messina. The port of Catania, in fact, has realized infrastructures that can make to work our activities better".

Charon & Tourist have evidenced that the port of Catania "in fact represents one of the most effective logistic platforms of the transport of the goods and the passengers from and towards the Sicily" and "is already interested by a meaningful development of traffics, legacy to the total policies of the Etna institutions and to the decided improvement of the infrastructural and road conditions realized in the completion in exceptionally fast times of a new dock for ferries ro-ro, equipped very to five cradles and wide large squares, connected directly with the highway practicability".

Besides rimarcare the opportunities offered from the port of Catania, Charon & Tourist also has denounced the "initiatives, continuous and decomposed, assumed from the communal administration of Messina that - it has specified the company - has been concentrated, with very four decrees in little more than eight months, own on the Messina-Salerno line", than operated from the C&T.
Critical
that the Municipality of Messina has resent to the sender: "an entrepreneurial choice of a company of great strategic mink as Charon & Tourist - it has observed the alderman to mobility, Gaetano Cacciola - that is based sure on a pluriennale programming, using the data of anticipates, traguarda to the future perspectives with lucid determination, placing the innovation and the diversification of the market like real instruments in order to resist to the crisis and for being ready to the new increase and the consequent widening of own market. Strategic choices as those preannounced in these days are, sure, I yield of considerations that have roots in a pluriennale programming that has held under observation many parameters of appraisal: from the conditions of operation of the freeways (concluded and surer the Salerno-Reggio Calabria and more and more dangerous the Catania-Messina), to the conditions of the ports (like that of street infrastructure Catania) equipped that excludes the crosswalk of the cities from heavy means, from the total times of distance from the customers (haulers), to problematic the environmental ones (innovating with alternative fuel). To charge this strategic choice almost exclusively to the recent decrees of the Administration and to "its continuous and decomposed initiatives" - it has replied Cacciola - does not seem to return merit to the historical abilities to programming that this administration and the citizenship all attribute to a society with management like that of Charon & Tourist".

"Unfortunately - it has continued the city council member - to Messina consumes often dynamics of pseudo-contrast between agencies, institutions and enterprises that leaves space to interpretations not founded or quite imaginative, that they carry to realize little or nothing, being slowed down all and photo who retracts a ship of the Cartour with in first floor a municipal patrol car, is an ad to this tradition of thought. To assert that the decrees anti Tir of the administration are decrees aimed against the society Charon & Tourist - Cacciola has explained - would be like saying that the same one, also to reach its economic objectives, does not have some respect of safety of the messinesi citizens. Mistaken nothing more; we have demonstrated in all the occasions that in the dialogue and in I confront always comprise more the reasons of the other part and it is succeeded to find a new balance. The search of the best solutions unfortunately is not neither helped by the reactions of how many they prefer the phrases to effect to insert in press releases, sure not useful to a serene one confronts, probably daughters of the usuals logical of alignment and finalized to exasperate a conflict that instead goes absolutely avoided".

"This administration, with own decrees - it has clarified the alderman - has intentional regular the flows of heavy means in city in order to safeguard safety of the citizens, that it is a not negotiable primary good, like has many times over repeated our mayor. One has agreed also with the same provisions to reduce the environmental impact, giammai has been thought to contrast the local entrepreneurship".

To Messina, in order to avoid that the traffic of the trucks transits through the city, is constructed the new harbour port of call of Tremestieri, than but there is a need for works of dredging for being able to be used from the ferries(of 25 March 2015). The city council member has remembered the potentialities of this landing place emphasizing that "the determination is famous to all with which they are trying themselves to create, not without enormous difficulties, the foundations that will determine the conditions of relative entrepreneurial and environmental sustainability to the passage of the Tir and that the relative difficulties to the landing place of Tremestieri are declined today in exceeding, tomorrow in the perspective of the great port of Tremestieri. Conditions - it has found Cacciola - that they will allow with Charon & Tourist to return to invest with greater enthusiasm to house own and we hope as soon as possible, favoring also a greater occupation, thanks to the job that today this communal administration, together with the Harbour Authority and all the institutions that operates in city, is laboriously getting ahead, with the objective to create conditions of objective sustainability for the messinesi citizens. Sustainability - it has evidenced the city council member - that it means quality of the life, than is not a slogan of the Accorinti administration, but it is the only concrete objective to whose attainment all entirety we must give our enthusiastic contribution. A good enterprise - it has concluded the city council member - ago own these purposes. Good job to all".
