Cagliari has the ability to become a natural logistic platform for the commerce that gives the Latin America is veicolato in the Africa North and that it has its hinge in the uruguayano harbour system. For giving course to a dialogue that in these years never has not been stopped it served only the activation of the PIF (inspection point borderer), already operating from two months and the Franca Doganale Zone. The Sardinian port of call, currently connected to beyond 80 ports to the world - it has found Isidori - has all the characteristics in order to attract this genre of traffics, to not only create wealth and places of work for the harbour system but for the entire island".

There is need of passionate and brave entrepreneurs whom they know all over the world to value and to carry the excellence of the island".
