The shippers spezzini accuse the Tuscan institutions to block the operativity of the ports of La Spezia and Marina di Carrara



The Association Shippers of the Port of La Spezia accusation the Municipality naval of Carrara and the Tuscany Region to block the operativity of the ports of La Spezia and Marina di Carrara being delayed the process of integration of the two harbour ports of call that must be governed from the new Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Oriental, agency that has inherited the functions of the Harbour Authorities that administered the two ports of call.

I decree for the reorganization of the Italian ports, approved of last summer, previews that the presidents of the Authorities of Harbour System (AdSP) come chosen from minister of Infrastructures and the Transports of understanding with the Region or Regioni interested from the AdSP, in this case the Region Liguria and the Tuscany Region. At the end last year to the guide of the AdSP of the Ligurian Sea Oriental Carla Roncallo is placed ( on 16 December 2016). The next step in order to define the "Board" which charged to govern the ports of La Spezia and naval of Carrara has been that to demand to the municipal administrations of the two cities and to the two Regions to indicate own whom charged representatives to take part of the Committee of management of the AdSP. And it is here that - denunciation the association of the shippers spezzini - the Tuscan institutions demonstrate furtiveness.

"By now - it clarifies Alessandro Laghezza, president of the Association Spedizionieri of the Port of La Spezia and member of the directive ones of Confetra and Fedespedi - not draft more than delays, but of a evident disinterestedness of the Tuscany, than, evidently more attempts to national political events that to the productive operation of its territory, are from months blocking the operativity of the ports of La Spezia and Marina di Carrara; up to the present - Laghezza finds - the Tuscan political institutions, firstly the Municipality naval of Carrara, but also the Tuscany Region, that it would have to be the guarantor of the operation, have not indicated the representatives in the Committee of management of the new Harbour Authority of System to all purposes and effects having frozen the governance and preventing the process of integration, already complex in itself, of the two ports".

"We assist - Laghezza continues - to a total unconcern of the interests of the communities that on the ports operate. The been extended stall in the governance of the port of La Spezia, before for an incomplete reform, therefore for the judicial inquiry that have been pulled down on the Harbour Authority, and now for an unacceptable nonperformance by the competent institutions, has already provoked serious damages with occupational consequences also that will not be late to reveal themselves. On integration with Marina di Carrara, that it would have had to be put into effect to forced stages own in order to recreate also to La Spezia that positive climate that in the last years has been to the origin of the "harbour miracle breaks", continues to be incumbent Hush of the Tuscany and without the completion of the new organs of governance, in particular the Committee of management, the new Harbour Authority of System is and remains a lame duck".

"Moreover - Laghezza concludes - also the debate that has ignited on a national level and the critics whom rained on the reform, than today appears abandoned to same himself also from the competent Ministry, more that is justified; with six ports still without president, also those which have exceeded the alarming phase of indication of the new summit, they do not work because the nominations of the Committees of management are suspended between the political uncertainties, often inadequate choices and the alea Anac, that is the opinion of compatibility on the conflict of interest that is entrusted to the Authority of vigilance on the corruption. Completely to the pole then the organs that theoretically would have to give voice to the field operators, not to mention the central table of coordination of the portualità remain that today is only a ghost".
