January 19, 2016
Feport, the European federation of the private terminaliste societies, speeds up the national authorities to make clarity on the next implementation of the new norms of convention SOLAS that will impose from the next 1° July to verify the gross weight of the container to embark on the ships in departure from the ports. In less than six months - it has emphasized the federation - normative new SOLAS on the weight of the containers will take effect and there is still a lack of information and harmonization on a national level on their performance.
In particular, Feport exhorts the national authorities to define lines guides with the objective to safeguard the efficiency of the logistic chain and not to create distortions to the competition between the States of the European Union.
"On July 1°, 2016 - president Dogane and Logistica di Feport has explained, Jasper Nagtegaal - all the container to load on a ship will have to be accompanied from the document of verified gross mass. The actors of the field have already released lines guide on the implementation of requirement SOLAS, while still in many cases the lines lack guide of the national authorities. The lack of lines guides national - it has found Nagtegaal - will be translate in a confusion on the implementation and will have an impact negative on the activities and will involve the risk of a distortion of the competition".
