Trasportounito, the weighing of the container does not weigh on on the ports but the haulers



If the Italian harbour field is satisfied because the effectiveness on 1° July of the introduced international norm with an amendment to the Solas convention that she previews obligation of the weighing certifyd of every container before its boarding on the ship not has determined - second how much found from the agencies that they manage the main ports - delays in the operations of export realized through national the harbour ports of call, for Trasportounito there is another face of the medal, with a system that - it has emphasized the trade-union association of the road haulage - "has worked only making to weigh on the trucks the burdens of the ill services".

Trasportounito has evidenced that "in the single port of Genoa the haulers, on which has fallen back the entire final burden of the new norm on the weighing of the container, have lost almost 25% of their productivity, has put up with advanced medium tails to the six hours and burnt every day an average of 500.000 euros; a price, this - it has found the association - that risks to already act cruelly the final blow to companies in crisis".

"If not they have been congestionamenti - Giuseppe Tagnochetti has explained, coordinator of Trasportounito in Liguria - are only because the road haulage has damped all the criticalities of the system. But so it cannot go ahead".

Trasportounito has specified which is in particular the critical point of the system. The data of the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) relative to the hung one that the road haulage makes regularly in the plants or one of the 30 hung centers of you anticipate in the areas to frame of the port or in the port of call - it has specified the association - "they are sent with great delay or quite they are not sent by some operators to the computer science system of the harbour terminals. The document arrives many hours after the truck, with the result to carry to the collapse the areas prayed where hundreds of means attend the green light in vain. The same trucks, for the norm on the times of guide who ricomprendono also the pauses, then cannot leave again, so losing the job of the following day".

"Politics "VGM decided Entry" from the harbour community - it has observed Trasportounito - have not worked. The lacked computerized transmission weighing documents has produced the block of the system, paralyzed from the complexity of the logistic row that, second the norm, must characterize the shipper, that is which determines the weight of the container also in subjects dislocated in angles remote of the world and not interested to take care of the transmission of documents".

Specifying that one is waiting for the summoned reunion for Wednesday from the Harbour Authority of Genoa of understanding with the Harbour-office, Tagnochetti it has announced that Trasportounito will ask "a decided operating simplification, that guarantees to the road haulage to enter regularly in the terminals in order to unload the containers. If not there will be precise engagements and urgent - it has concluded - the road haulage is stopped not for protest, but for technical financial ruin".
