January 28, 2016
The Harbour Authority of Livorno does not allow with the ferries of the company of Tunisian navigation Cotunav to land to the Italy Pier. The prohibition this morning follows the reunion of the Advisory Commission, which commissioner of the harbour agency, Giuliano Gallanti, it has asked an opinion on the decision for the Cotunav to transfer own traffics from situated terminal LTM to the Dock n.1 being carried them to the Italy Pier, side north, where the society has the concession Scorches.
In the course of the reunion it is restated that the Italy Pier is destined to handling of the forest produced ones and cannot be stablily used for other types of traffic, as establishes the Portuale Town development plan approved of last year that it previews to concentrate the rotabili in the areas of the industrial port of the Inghirami Dock, today assigned in concession to LTM, and of the first half of the side the west of the industrial Channel, until the limit of the areas in concession to Sintermar.
"The philosophy of the Portuale Town development plan - the general secretary of the Harbour Authority has remembered, Massimo Provinciali - is that to move the traffic of the rotabili in the peripheral zones of the port and to so decongest the Valessini Passage and the internal practicability. The incompatibility with such forecasts of a traffic is therefore obvious extra-Schengen that it per year generates beyond 14.000 trailer".
The harbour authority has emphasized that the Tunisian company is an historical customer of the port of Livorno, than scale with biweekly frequency (every Wednesday and saturdays) embarking and disembarking mainly rotabili and secondarily container. In 2015 the Companies Tunisienne de Navigation have enlivened to Livorno beyond 14.000 commercial means and 8,200 teu (beyond 6.000 containers) in import/export. At the end of the year slid the society, through Austral agency, it had retracted the contract with its terminalista of reference, LTM, deciding to address to the concessionaire I scorch for the exercise of the harbour operations of disembarkation/boarding.
