I throw again of the harbour system of the Sicily oriental and the ports of Syracuse and Augusta
They speed up the Union Harbour Activities of Confcommercio Syracuse and Assoporto Augusta
December 15, 2016
I throw again of the harbour system of the Sicily oriental, with particular attention to the ports of Syracuse and Augusta. They ask the Union Harbour Activities for Confcommercio Syracuse and Assoporto Augusta, association not-for-profit that groups about thirty associated between megaresi companies and harbour operators. Exhortation that is turned the municipal administration of Syracuse, proposing to such scope their sinergica action and exhorting thematic the mayor to institute communal Consulta on the harbour ones that would have to have permanent character and to number between the members the commander of the port of Syracuse, the representatives of the marine operators, the main charges of the Municipality and a representative of the Region, for example the leader of the regional Federal property.
"The port - it has emphasized Francesco Diana, president of the Union Harbour Attività of Confcommercio - is not an infrastructure that weevers alone, but is from considering a living organism that it needs all the vital organs and these organs must be put in a position to coordinating themselves between they. Up to now the port has benefitted only of the enormous profuse efforts from the marine authority and the harbour operators. However, its future life cannot be still entrusted to these forms of heroism. The cruise ships, those large ones, those able ones to leave in the induced one and the economy of the city until 200.000 touched euros to - it has found Diana - cannot arrive if not opportunely supported from a worthy infrastructural net of this name and from a series of actions of aimed marketing and combined".
Diana has evidenced the necessity to institute permanent an informative net in a position to holding the constantly updated operators on whom he happens in the port, for being able to work at best and to do so as that the port and its organs can be coordinated from each other. Moreover he has specified that the participation of the Region to Consulta turns out fundamental because it leave of the regional jettison at sea it comes just from the marine traffics of the Bay of Saint Panagia and would be right that, in some way, this jettison at sea fell back on the aretuseo landing place. "He consults - Diana has asserted it - would represent the ideal place of I confront between the experts of the marine field, for this I ask the Municipality, in quality of president of the Union Harbour Attività to resume, without ulterior procrastination, its iter of institution, inexplicably interrupted in 2014".
If the recent reform of the government in harbour matter has not touched the port of Syracuse directly, than it has not been place under the management of the new Authorities of Harbour System, the port of Augusta has been instead ricompreso in the jurisdiction of the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sicily Oriental in which the port of Catania falls back also.
In the light of this, according to Confcommercio Syracuse and Assoporto Augusta, for the port of Augusta, to the aim to attract investments and in order to facilitate the creation of places of work, it would turn out useful to find a point of alternative disembarkation for the migrants, taking in consideration other landings place, as, for example, that of Corigliano Calabro or as the wharves Born and of the base of MariSicilia of Marina Militare.
Marina Noè, neopresidente of Assoporto Augusta, has remembered that the port of Corigliano Calabro, regarding the megarese port of call, does not have commercial industrial traffics neither, finds itself on the Gulf of Taranto and for these reasons it would be the port more consono to receive the migrants: "they are not - it has specified - between those which they think that it does not have to receive the migrants. Graves for me I would pull down every frontier, but certainly all this discourages and blocks the activities of the operators to the commercial port. In recent days, in fact, entrepreneurs who try to carry job to Augusta and that they make also shipments abroad not have been able to use the docks of the megarese port of call because they were engaged with the aid ships".
