"From the beginning of the year - the president of the Harbour Authority of Ravenna has commented, Galliano Di Marco - we have lost 4% of traffic regarding the same period of last year. It is since year respects our forecasts of beginning and that it goes correctly contestualizzato. In these last weeks, in fact, they are brought back by prints given that they do not coincide with those in our possession, I yield or of error or instrumentalization". Of Marco it has emphasized how much affects the limited depth of the backdrops of the port the volume of the traffics: "if they are examined the data of which we and the Harbour office arrange - have explained - evince that the problem of the outer harbor has recorded much less than is wanted to be fooled into believing. If we take to the period January-May 2015 and we confront it with the same period of 2014, relatively to the number of ships arrived with an equal or advanced draught to the 30,000 tons of tonnage that transport alimentary commodities sand banks or in necks, "have gotten lost" about two ships for a total of 113.000 tons. In the field of the cereals and agricultural also Venice it has lost traffic, to demonstration of the fact that the phenomenon of ships forced to allibare to Venice or Koper before to come to Ravenna is not legacy a lot to the outer harbor as for the most general problem of the backdrops of the port of Ravenna, famous problem give beyond 20 years. Moreover, it gets worse months in absolute have been December 2014 and January 2015, before there was the flood and quickly after we had made the dredging in outer harbor of 2014".

"Venice and Koper - it has continued the president of the harbour authority - grow in the container own because larger ships can there allibare are for the greater backdrop that for the geometric conditions of income of the ships that penalize from always Ravenna: besides to dig - it has remembered Of Marco - must improve the curve of income for the ships, otherwise would be useless to make a new terminal for the containers. We have said with clarity in the Harbour Committee on 30 January and today we restate it. Although this, in the period January-May, to Ravenna we record a positive reversal in handling of container (+10.12%) thanks to the great job that the two operators in the field of container (TCR and Setramar) are making, in spite of an obvious problem of backdrop that we hoped of being able to resolve realizing a temporary case of overwhelmed to Trattaroli (hypothesis vanished for the seizure of the area, with serious damages is economic that of image for the Harbour Authority of Ravenna)".

Of Marco it has moreover found that too many forget "that to February beginning we have had the more devastating flood of last the 50 years and that this natural calamity, as well as in outer harbor, it has created large problems to many ancient docks of our port, docks and to restructure for the great part. Just yesterday - it has announced - it is sent to the Gazette of the Italian Republic, for the publication, so as the law imposes, the ban of contest for the removal of the so-called "back" come to create in outer harbor, for an amount of beyond 2,5 million euros. Within the 8 July the ban will be therefore published in GURI, the offers will have to be introduced within on 5 August, on 6 August will be opened in order to characterize the highest bidder of the service and, once made all the verifications of law, it will be able to be left, to september, with the participation. Between the material dipped in sea last year and what we will carry you this year, they will be about 400.000 the cubic metres of material of escavo which positioning in areas of warehouse in sea has been found - only possible solution -. They give beyond 15 years this it did not happen in this port and it is absolutely inusuale praxis is in Italy that in Europe. To Ravenna it is successful to make it because the Emilia Romagna Region, ARPA and the Harbour office have regularly authorized such procedure through the Conferences of the Services convened from Harbour Authority according to the law 84/94".

"We are working - it has specified Of Marco - also on other ban, always for about three million euro, accommodation of the docks hit from the flood. And this without to wait for of knowing if we will be inserted or less in the list of the regional works to realize for natural calamity and without to wait for that the long ones iter of practical the insurance ones are completed".

"It is not more time - it has concluded the president of the Harbour Authority - of controversies and, I add, dishonesty and instrumentalizations of any type. It is time to tuck the handles, to manage the emergency whereby it is and, as soon as this is exceeded, to leave again, rowing all in the same direction, that of the deepening of the backdrops of this our port, only project in a position to guaranteeing of the survival, with all this that in terms of occupation this means".
