In contraction the quota the Italian marine carriers in the market international transportations of goods from and for Italy



The Bank of Italy has published the relative investigation anniversary to 2015 on the international transportations of goods from and for the Italy, whose main scope is the esteem of the unitary costs of the transport for cargo modality of the goods and the market shares of the distinguished carriers for nationality.

In the publication, cured by Enrico Tosti and Simonetta Zappa, the course of the street medium hires between 1999 and the 2015 is found that an increasing trend in nominal terms evidences, in particular for those to the import, that it has only marked rest in 2012. In real terms, using as deflatore the price index to the production - the document specifies - the level of the hires to the export is by now next to that reached in 2008, while those to the import are placed more on the values elevated from the beginning of the historical series.

About the course of the railway hires, the investigation evidences that the medium hires (traditional container and), after the clearly decrease recorded in 2008, has not recovered the levels precedence in spite of the resumption on the whole of the last three years. This - the document explains - reflects the increasing competition in the field, with the market share of the former monopolist in constant decrease, against a stopped question of transport is from the modal competition with the road is from infrastructural deficiencies. In the presence of volumes exported in increase and of imported volumes stable, the railway hires container have recorded in a 2015 increase regarding the year precedence and the increment has been marked for the countries of Former sovietunion, those of Europe oriental and for the countries of the Balkan area, plus contained for those of western Europe. For the complex of the rail shipments increments of greater entity are recorded, legacies to the courses of the traditional railroad (bulk), section - the publication of the Bank of Italy clarifies - less interested from the increasing competition that characterizes the transport container. The investigation emphasizes moreover that the interviews to the operators of the railway field have confirmed the gradual but constant loss of market shares of the railway modality to advantage of that street one.

About the course of the hires airplane, the specific investigation that, after the abrupt decrease recorded between the second half of 2008 and 2009, the hires airplane to the import have exceeded in nominal terms the values precedence the total crisis; those to the export, in fort risen until 2013, quickly have an abrupt decrease on the whole of the next biennium. The hires deflated with the price index to the production place themselves at the beginning on inferior levels to the recorded maximums of the slid decade.

Relatively to the field of the marine transport, the investigation separately characterizes the medium hires for each cargo modality - container, bulk, general cargo and ro-ro - in order to take into consideration the tariff peculiarities of the various segments of market. About the historical course of the hires container, comprehensive of the auxiliary services, it signals an light recovery during the last few years. Deflated with the price index to the production, the hires remain at the beginning on inferior levels to those recorded of the slid decade, suffering also of the weak person resumption of the volumes enlivened regarding the reached maximum levels before the total crisis.

The historical course of the medium marine hires bulk (cargos solid liquids and, included the auxiliary services), found on a quarterly basis, down shows a tendency for solid cargos, beginning from the recorded peak at the beginning of 2008, sign - the publication observes - than the market still finds it hard to find a balance between supply and demand of cargo. The level by now is almost returned to the book values in biennium 2002-03, that is before the been extended phase of increases tied to the increase of the question above all from the emergent countries (for example China) in the presence of a rigidity in the adaptation of the ability to transport of the world-wide fleet. The hires bulk liquids have recorded similar tendencies even if less emphasized; the signs of resumption in the last biennium for which the data are available - find the investigation - they could more indicate a condition of market balanced between supply and demand of cargo.

At last, relatively to the historical course of the medium marine hires general cargo, comprehensive of the auxiliary services, with particular reference to the mercantile type of greater interest (transport of systems, machinery and means of transport), the investigation explains that the trend shows in the biennium a 2014-15 recovery, signaling that the market is finding a balance after the phase clearly decrease that has followed the peak recorded between 2006 and 2007.

The section of the investigation finalized to the esteem of the division of the international transportation of goods da/per the Italy between Italian carriers and foreign countries, specific that after the interruption in 2014, last year is resumption the decreasing tendency of the medium quota in the marine field that had characterized the decade precedence: except the field container, interested from a marginal resumption, all the other sections have recorded reductions of the market share of the Italian carriers, included the field ro-ro. In the street transport the quota the Italian carriers instead is gone back, arriving to 26.8%, interrupting a decennial decreasing tendency. In the aerial section you it has been an light decrease, to 16.3%, level however advanced lessened touched in 2013, in relation to the crisis it is of the flagship company is of other national carriers.
