Gentlemen: for the development of the Italian portualità it is necessary to rationalize projects and resources



Necessary it has been the decision to head at some primary ports rather than, as previously, to frazionare on numerous ports of call the offer of the Italian portualità. It has emphasized today to the Palacrociere of Savona, in occasion of the presentation of the new tugs Head Noli and Palmaria of the group Hulls and its controlled Carmelo Noli, the new president of the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western, Paolo Emilio Signorini, stopping itself on the modification of the legislation in harbour matter with the institution of 15 Authorities of Harbour System (AdSP) put into effect through the fusion of some of the precedence 26 Harbour Authorities, between which that between Genoa and Savona that have lead to the constitution of the AdSP of the Ligurian Sea Western.

"The marine world - it has explained Gentlemen - is changing fastly and totally. This imposes a real Copernican revolution. We cannot more hide within a shell and must create an increased Network more".

"Currently - it has found Gentlemen - there is always a greater concentration of harbour operating marine companies and that works through a system of new international alliances. As interlocutors we have large groups who operate to total level. In this scene the relationship of the Ligurian Sea western with them is precarious because today it is able to not to affect the decisions that are taken too much far from we. For this - it has emphasized - the Italy system must head not more at some great ports of call and at 26 as in the past. It is necessary to rationalize projects and resources and this it implies an effective dialogue between AdSP and Ministry, RFI, ANAS, imposing to make chosen of weighted competitiveness a lot. It is a fascinating challenge that as AdSP of the Ligurian Sea Western we are ready to pick in order to create development".

"We cannot more send back the choices to take - has agreed general manager marine transport of the Ministry of Infrastructures and of the Transports, Enrico Maria Pujia, it anticipates to the encounter - and the reform in so far as is strategic. We have the possibility to recover and to restart the harbour increase with the role that Italy deserves. National excellence to put in field in order to check the advance of the ports of call of the Africa North. The traffics are decided between three or four shipowning large groups therefore we must head at the intermodal connections, strengthen the last mile and to have a strategic vision from the logistic point of view being accelerated the passage of the goods".

Other fundamental issue to face - it has continued Pujia - is that of the customs inspections. An other important point of the reform previews to centralize the customs inspections through operations already experienced in 17 ports of call, which the pre-clearing, being profitable thinner the procedures. With the collaboration of all the subjects the objectives can only be centered. The system of from Liguria ports and its operators is invited to support these necessary changes. From the data recently had the railway connection between the port of Trieste and Bulgaria it is giving optimal results. These are the engagements and the challenge to play, exceeding old the logical ones. The order word is to make system".

To the encounter they have participated also the commander of the port of Genoa, admiral Giovanni Pettorino, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Coasts of West, Luciano Pasquale.
