the harbour community spezzina is worried that the new great transalpine works will benefit the ports of the Europe north



According to La Spezia Port Service, societies that represent the associations of the shipping agents, the shippers and the customs brokers of, the new railway plain aces who, with the completion of the tunnels under the Alps, will connect the Italy north with northern Europe risk to benefit the nordeuropei ports ulteriorly, that they will be able to enliven volumes of goods still more consisting from and for the Italian market.

This, second the organism that represents community the harbour spezzina, could be in times breviums the main consequence of the commissioning of the new gallery of the Gottardo, therefore of that of Ashes and the new tracing of Alptransit that crosses Switzerland longitudinally, supplying the main axis for the Genoa-Rotterdam corridor. In particular La Spezia Port Service is worried that, if initially this "effect vacuum cleaner" exercised by the logistic systems and harbour nordeuropei with the opening in the end of this year in Switzerland of the Gallery of Base of Saint Gottardo will for example hit the port of in way less marked respect to the port of Genoa, with the entrance in exercise of all the great transalpine works will be come to join logistically advance markets with a fragile and defenseless market as he is that Italian.

"These transalpine galleries - it has found Alessandro Laghezza, that he is president of the shippers of La Spezia and also councilman of Confetra and Fedespedi - risk to work for the traffic of the goods single in a direction that is that back the north, connecting the great ports of the Northern Range to an area of more and more which extended infuence that already today it comprises great part of the Piedmontese and Lombardic Po plain".

According to Laghezza, "it is necessary for once to say the truth: the Gottardo today, Brenner tomorrow (and the nine years that separate it from its commissioning in the 2025 fly) could determine a marked dependency of the productive system of the Italy north from logistic and harbour systems to thousand kilometers of distance. Already today from Switzerland, than a lot European railway axis has been engaged in the realization of the more important - it has emphasized Laghezza - does not arrive a gram of goods from and for from Liguria ports. In compensation a constant flow of trains has consolidated that give Piedmontese interposing to you and Lombardic they reach the Italian Sea of the North with goods".

"With the third Genoa-Milan pass behind schedule and the Pontremolese line in fact disappeared from the temporal horizon of the great works, but especially with a logistic system that denunciation strong a gap organizational respect for example to Germany, where the logistics is strategic asset gives beyond thirty years - it has continued Laghezza - the Gottardo is destined to drain in Italy quantitative increasing of goods and container".

La Spezia Port Service therefore has exhorted the main associations of the field to break the procrastinations and to complete a examination deepened on the effect of the new alpine tunnels, effect that - for community the harbour spezzina - if it is extraordinary from the point of view of the protection of the atmosphere is instead "potentially much negative not only for the section of the Italian logistics, but also for those productive companies that would come private of their right to have of logistics and ports near the production areas (as the world-wide market of the container would impose), becoming in way still more emphasized employee from logistic systems foreign countries".

According to La Spezia Port Service, in order to ask for such risk, "today the private operators and their associations of representation must in existence place side by side with decision the government in the effort for the fast performance of a serious one slowly of the logistics and the ports. This means - it has specified the organism of community the spezzina - to quickly complete the choices of strategic priority of the works on which to concentrate resources and investments; to favor with concrete measures that concentration and rationalization of the flows that in the greater European countries are put into effect; lend attention to the necessities and not to put into effect extirpated decisions from that the market, species that of the interchange by sea, demands".
