The goods in import in Italy that is blocked on the docks of the ports or in the holds of the ships because of the crisis financial institution of the company of South Korean navigation Hanjin Shipping has a quantifiable value total between the 300 and 350 million dollars. It has emphasized Alessandro Laghezza, president of Ligurian Logistic System, organism constituted from the associations of the shippers of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona, let alone national councilman of Fedespedi and Confetra.
Laghezza has announced that they are beyond 5.000 the container containing goods "Italian", for the majority finished product and componentry in import, blocked in the ports or on the ships. Crack cocaine of the Hanijn - it has explained - "is not more, and never it has not been, a problem only for the world that wheel on the ports and the routes of the marine transport. It is the most serious problem for the Italian economy that, as that of the greater European Countries, alloy its operation to regulating flow of supplyings and that now is found to get to terms with the "goods captive" and with two incumbent risks. On one side, that of the paralysis of some important productive chains of primary Italian industries however with an increase of the costs at the expense of the goods; from the other, a dismissal to indeterminate time of the import of the consumer goods (firstly produced electronic) coming from the Asian and destined countries to the great Italian distribution".
"Although in tight times all the Italian operators and the national Federation shippers (Fedespedi) have been activated in order to accelerate the release of this goods and the prosecuzione to destiny, also through the direct assumption of responsibility and the subscription of surety bonds - it has clarified Laghezza - the situation is very far from normality".
Laghezza has specified that by the 2,000 to the 2,500 container is disembarked on the docks, but at least as many are still edge of ships offshore, ships that in some cases they avoid to enter in the ports for the fear founded of being located quickly under seizure. "Three - specified Laghezza - are the destined ships that currently turn out to have on board goods and producing to La Spezia: the firm Hanjin Italy and Hanjin Tabul in oadstead in front of Jeddah, while the Hanjin Korea is in navigation towards Yantian. To these the Hanjin Spain joins that after to have unloaded the cargo quota for La Spezia, has jumped the port of call of Genoa and currently is waiting for to operate near the port of destined Valencia where would have to unload also the container to Genoa".
"Currently, of the 98 ships taken a census in the Hanjin site - it has continued the president of Ligurian Logistic System - 15 turn out seized or you block in dock, seven rented ships are re-entries in possession of the owners and 10 are to the deep one in proximity of the oadsteads of several ports in the world, while 18 are still operating in the Korean port of Busan. The remainder of the fleet turns out mostly to deep in international waters or waiting for authorizations and the guarantees in order to enter in ports in which the risk seizure is highest".
"A situation - it has concluded Laghezza - than already today threat more than one hundred places than job, but that it could be aggravated; a situation that demands an immediate diplomatic effort of the Italian government on that Korean, but also the adoption of extraordinary measures and the adoption of all the instruments possible in order to reduce the impact is on the harbour section and logistic it is on the entire productive row".
