"The ports - it has found Of Augustin - are alone the first ring of a logistic chain very more complex. The infrastructures to potenziamento of the port are important. Without ground connections a port cannot be developed. For this we are working it is to the optimization of internal the railway net, is to the potenziamento of the field intermodal and arranged with the objective to improve the frequency of the railway services towards the Northeast Italy and Center-East Europe in order to offer to the best rates and tempistiche than distance".
Of Augustin it has remembered that the giuliano port has internal a railway net (70 kilometers of railroads) integrated with the national and international net that affords to all the docks of being served from railroads with the possibility of shunting and/or composition of the trains directly in the several terminals. In the 2014 Adriafer, the society controlled from the Harbour Authority that manages the railway maneuvers in the port, has enlivened 4,500 trains and previews to more maneuver some than 4.800 in 2015. Moreover within May a new train of connection with Budapest via Opicina Villa will leave, and there will be an increment of the trains container for Monaco and Ulm.

The delegation of the harbour agency of Trieste has found also a nourished presence to the fair of Monk of Turkish operators, regarding which the port of Trieste proposes which main door of access towards Central Europe. "The progressive increase of the rail shipment of the semitowings and the cases you furnish, thanks to the repentina resumption of the commercial interchange between Centro Europa and the Turkey, put into effect in particular from the main logistic groups that operate through the terminals ro-ro of our port of call - it has confirmed Of Augustin - does not make that to demonstrate the confidence on Trieste". "To evidence - it has added - that us they have been also many demands for deepening for our future development plans. To much partner foreign it interests to invest on our port, but they want sure times. For this the game of the Town development plan is fundamental".
The choice to head at the railway modality in order to connect the port of Trieste with its markets of reference is rimarcata also by the city council member to Infrastructures and mobility of the Region Friuli Venice Julia, Mariagrazia Santoro, taken part yesterday to the fair Transport Logistic in the within of the focus "the railway cargo in Friuli Venice Julia and the opportunities for the enterprises" promoted from InRail, Inter-rail and Ferrovie Udine Cividale (FUC). "The choice strategic of the Region Friuli Venice Julia to favor the railway modality in the transport of the goods - the city council member has said - is confirmed and consolidated in the years, is with priority of infrastructural type that with specific regimes of aid in support of the intermodal services, that they have allowed over the last couple of years a resumption of the traffics on track, the whose engines have been the main regional logistic nodes and in particular port of Trieste as point of origin and destination".
"The Region - it has specified Mariagrazia Santoro - intends to continue in the action of development of the rail shipment of the goods and in such sense a series of strategic actions is placed that they have been developed in the course of the last year".

Operas, these last ones, that they have the clearest purpose of giving legs to the current trend of increase of the harbour and railway traffics that are under responsibility al Friuli Venice Julia".
Remembering that the will to transfer quotas more and more consisting of traffic goods from the road towards the railroad and the marine transport is tied also to obvious reasons of environmental sustainability, with smaller emissions of co2 and safety, the Santoro city council member also has drawn the attention on the fact that "the efforts of the E region the local actors will have to be accompanied from brave choices on a national level also on the front of the rates apt to pay the provoked external costs from use it of the street modality by heavy means: draft - it has concluded - not to penalize the road haulage but to invert a trend negative on I use it of the railroad by the transport of the goods and to find new models logistic-organizational of European standard that privileges uses it of more respectful modalities of the atmosphere".
