La Spezia Port Service, the objective is to ask for in advance, if you of it were the will, political lottizzatorie drifts/
May 26, 2016
In sight of the next adoption of the new norms in harbour matter that would have to institute the Authorities of Harbour System in substitution of the current Harbour Authorities, reducing of the number, La Spezia Port Service, the organism constituted from the associations of the shipping agents, the shippers and the customs brokers spezzini, it has a its idea of requirement of which it would have to be in possession president of the new Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Orientale who, according to the elaborated legislative project from the government, would have jurisdiction on the ports of La Spezia and naval of Carrara.
For La Spezia Port Service, it would have to be "a president who is expression of the Spezia spirit-The, that he are able to make compact institutions and operators on a common objective, that knows the port and the field, that is authoritative but "at the same time brave" to sufficiency in order to throw again the model they break in a key of fast development; a president who - second the society that represents the harbour community spezzina - has also the ability and the acquaintance of the administrative mechanisms so as to avoid useless and pretestuose diffuseness and knows to distinguish the public function of promotion and represented control from that private one from the business activities of enterprise".
The harbour reform exclusively places the governance of the Italian ports in the hands of politics, centralizing the levers of the harbour power in head al Ministero of Infrastructures and the Transports, and the harbour operators spezzini have traced their identikit of the president of the new Authority of Harbour System with the precise objective "to ask for in advance, if you of it were the will, political lottizzatorie drifts/that - it has emphasized La Spezia Port Service - the port, for its characteristics originals, its history of success and its ability to in advance pick the transformations of the markets, cannot be afforded".
The comment inforMARE
In short, the harbour operators spezzini launch an appeal to the minister so that he puts from Liguria port "in good hands". Evidently they are aware that it is the law on the ports currently in vigor is still more that about to definition definitively deliver to the single politics the conduction of national the harbour ports of call moving away the Italian model of governance harbour from that nordeuropeo, taken in the last few decades to model in Italy from who he wanted to reduce the gap between the national ports and those of northern the European and repudiated range briefly from the same ones as soon as by simple analyzers of the criticalities of the homegrown harbour system they are called to contribute to the definition of a new model of governance.
We inforMARE consider that, rather than to appeal to the "good heart" of the turn politician, in the long years that have been necessary in order to define a legislative proposal that appears, as well as of modest capacity, "quite antiquated", the Italian enterprises and operators they would have had to expect and to obtain the introduction of a different model of management of the portualità. Now he is too late.
Perhaps an old "born" system is destined soon to succumb to the challenges of modernity. It is favorable that meantime does not damage the exhausted national economic system ulteriorly.

Representation of community harbour has evidenced that, "if will be set in times all to estimate the problem of an alternation to the summit of the Harbour Authority and therefore of a nomination for the Authority of system, the quality of the choice and the criteria that to this choice will preside, becomes strategically determining for the future of the port. If integration naval of Carrara does not seem to provoke particular worries - it has observed La Spezia Port Service - the nodes that the new president will be called to melt to La Spezia is multiple and all determining. The port is called to redefine strategic its mission in the container, but also to fix the lines it guides for its development in other fields, as that of the bulk, ferries/the freeways of the sea, the cruises and the nautical one from diporto".
"The port - it has still found La Spezia service Port - will have to complete precise choices and brave for how much it concerns topics as the naval repairs, I firstly use it coordinated with the other institutions of the back-harbour spaces (Santo Stefano Magra), the logistic connections and alliances.
The new president must therefore have very clear in front of the eyes the situation of a port that is on the line of the front of the international competition and that it has always won its battles playing in advance, not riding but determining the change. Difficultly also a technician and (still less a bureaucrat or a politician to hunting of seats) that "he had parachuted" on La Spezia, could take in hand this complex car. Car that demands a effort coeso of all the members of the port for the realization of a limited number, but essential of objectives and therefore the signature of a new pact on and for the port".
"The current inactivity of the traffics after years and years of increase, also when you carry competitors was in crisis - it has concluded La Spezia Port Service - confirmation that the times for a choice are tightened. We know that haste and qualities of the decisions often are not conciliated. We believe however that it is precise duty of the Community to put itself on hand of the minister, the government and the Liguria Region, for an informal consultation also that is useful for all, government firstly, to assume decisions of which not repenting".
