The mayor of Porto Torres, Sean Wheeler, has written to the ministers of the Transports and of the economic Development speeding up the nomination of the new president of the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sardinia to the aim to allow the prosecuzione of the iter of the town development plan of the turritano harbour port of call and in order to structure projects of I throw again of all the portualità, comprised the field of the nautical industry.

"The city that I administer - has remembered Sean Wheeler - Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sardinia will take part of the newborn. The port of call of Porto Torres, inserted inside of the agency, is the second for number of passengers in all the Island, to the service of the second more populous and productive area of the Sardinia, represented from the Metropolitan Net of Sassari, of which the port is an indispensable infrastructure for the existence of the same Metropolitan Net. From various years the current Harbour Authority of reference, that of the Sardinia North, is under commissariamento. In order to complete the programming actions and to realize the many projects of revitalization of our port, essential things after collapse of the industry that in our city has determined an enormous increase of unemployment, I consider is not rinviabile the nomination of the president of the new Harbour Authority".

The mayor has evidenced the urgency to accelerate the programming and to invest in order to satisfy the economic difficulties of the territory. "The harbour town development plan - Sean Wheeler has explained - is firm, since the reform of the ports has blocked the plans interim. The current Harbour Authority, being commissariata, cannot make investment actions on new lease on life. I ask, therefore, to the minister of Infrastructures and Transports that are named the president of the AdSP, while the minister of the economic Development I ask that the group of coordination and control, instituted is created with urgency with decrees ministerial of 8 February 2017, for the area of complex industrial crisis of Porto Torres, with the task to define and to put into effect the Project of Reconversion and Industrial Requalification and to reprogram with extreme urgency all the actions necessary in order to lead back outside from the complex crisis my city".

"I consider - it has continued the mayor of Porto Torres - than an investment plan must be based also on the field of the nautical one and the shipbuilding one, so to take advantage of the wide ones and made unusable harbour basins, for giving to occupational possibilities to the people spillages from the work cycle that at the moment valid alternatives do not have".

Wheeler has specified that "contextually to the nomination of the new president of the AdSP it must be instituted the Harbour Territorial Office in the national and international port of call of Porto Torres. He will be moreover indispensable - it has added - to raise awareness Eni to yield the harbour and retroportuali areas, today made unusable, the next lands the port to the aim to construct to the new docks and the new destined areas to the shipbuilding one. He is in fact unthinkable that Italian companies abroad invest when they could use our infrastructures, creating so occupation in the Country".

The mayor has concluded inviting the ministers to visit the areas that could be interested from this program of indispensable requalification "- it has emphasized - not only for my city, but for all the North suffering the Sardinia West for the economic crisis and that thanks to the full load I use of the harbour infrastructure it could draw great benefits".
