November 24, 2015
The shipowner Vincenzo Onorato has announced the escape from the Italian Confederation the Shipping (Confitarma) accusing the association not to safeguard the Italian naval flag and marine Italians. Honored, through the controlled one Honored Participation (OP) he stops the entire capital of the company of Moby navigation and Italian Company of Navigation (CIN) that in its turn he possesses the company of Tirrenia navigation. In 2004 already Honored he had decided the escape of own group from the shipowning Confederation, tear that was ricucito in 2007. If then the accusation turned to the Confitarma era of partiality regarding some associates to the detriment of others, today the motivations are different.
"In less five-year-old - Vincenzo Onorato in a letter has explained - politics of the Confederation Shipping will carry at the end of the Italian flag. The previewed extension of the relief for the Italian flag also to the communitarian flags, without some limitation in case of boarding of marine non-EU citizens - it has specified - it will carry to the loss of about job 15.000 places, in a truth, as that of Southern Italy d' Italy, already strongly penalized from the economic and social point of view. Of Italian the natural people of the shipowners that will benefit of the provvidenze of the Italian State in matter of relief with foreign flags and marine non-EU citizens, that is the damage will remain only and the prank"
"Noi Onorato, in this context - the letter continues - we are of the heretical shipowners: 70 ships all Italian flag and 4,000 dependent all Italians. The Confitarma today does not defend more nothing than Italian, but only the interests of a pair of shipowning groups that navigate with thousand marine flags and not communitarian, paid with a fistful of dollars to the month".
The denunciation of the shipowner lasts: "- it has emphasized - we do not want to participate to this aware and cynical cancellation of the flag and the Italian marine occupation. Already Italian large groups embark marine non-EU citizens which underpaid on cabotage drafts. We - he has concluded Vincenzo Onorato - dissociate, defend our shipowning tradition that boasts beyond one hundred history years and our marine Italians".
