Sieneses have found that the stability of the Italian market is not online with the extremely positive trend of the field to total level: "the crocieristico market - it has observed - confirmation the solidity and appeal always with a fort the increment world-wise. The price of the bunker is to the historical minimums and the weakening of the euro favors the inflow of crocieristi from the United States and Great Britain. Italy is but firm to the numbers last year, in spite of the new ships that will exit shortly from the yards, the return of some companies and the numerous variations of route carried out in order to eliminate the ports of call of the Africa North and Turkey because of the geopolitical scene".
Sieneses have evidenced some elements that in his opinion do not allow with Italy to align themselves to the trend of increase of world-wide the crocieristico market: "in Italy - it has explained - there is too much bureaucracy and little availability to make system. The lack of strategies common and a national direction is felt time to increase the crocieristico traffic in the Country. From years - the president of Cemar has remembered - we denounce the problematic ones tied to the stop of the great ships to Venice, that it creates serious difficulties to the field, slowing down the traffic of entire the Mediterranean Sea. From years we speak about Portofino, where the green light attends in order to approach again the ships to the village, and of the problems of docks to La Spezia. Also season 2017 - it has emphasized - risks to strongly being compromised".
According to the illustrated forecasts of Cemar from Sieneses, to the term of the 2016 they will be journeyed in Italian waters 146 various cruise ships against the 151 of 2015, in representation of 52 companies of navigation (51 in 2015). The involved Italian ports in the crocieristica activity will come down from 79 in 2015 to 73, with a handling fleeting that in peak season it will have stung of beyond 75.000 units to the day.
Regarding the ports, Cemar previews that this Civitavecchia year the main Italian crocieristico port with 2.310.000 enlivened passengers will be confirmed, continuation from Venice (1.550.000 pax), Naples (1.170.000), Genoa (980,000), Savona (960,000) and Livorno (750,000).
