July 12, 2017
The city council member to Tourism, and Promotion of the territory, Economic Development of the Municipality of Trieste, Maurizio Bucci, has launch an alarm for the lacked programming ports of call of the ships of Costa Crociere in the port of the giuliana city and has announced the creation of "task force" dedicated to the solution of the issue formed from the Municipality, Trieste Passenger terminal, the Authority of Harbour System of Mare Adriatico Orientale and from the Region Friuli Venice Julia. Announcement that has caught off guard the regional agency, that has specified of wanting to deepen with the Harbour Authority news that the Municipality of Trieste has been profitable public in press conference, "news - has specified the Region - than previously is not shared to institutional level".
Bucci has denounced that "not there is trace of Trieste in the programming of Costa Crociere for 2018. All - the city council member has asserted - ago to think that for mooring lack. The cruises of this important marine company will not disembark more myriads than tourists in our city".
"In order not to lose this important tourist-economic opportunity for a city tied to the sea as Trieste, considered that the programming of the calendar of the ports touched from Costa Crociere travels with advance payment - has continued Bucci - the only solution that the Municipality, entering the field through my councillorship as proposing subject, considers percorribile, is debit a positive sign creating "task force" dedicated to the solution of the issue. And formed as well as from the Municipality, from Trieste Passenger terminal and Harbour Authority, of which Zeno D' Augustin is president, the Region Friuli Venice Julia with president Serracchiani, which had already stipulated an agreement for the section of the cruise, and that it could name to such scope a referring one".
Manifesting surprised for the initiative of the alderman, the Region has remembered to have "always carried out a propositivo role" and to have "worked intensely so that the white ships reached Trieste. So - it has remembered the regional agency - it has happened also with Coast, with which already in 2014 an intended protocol has been undersigned to favor the touched ones on the giuliano chief town. The Region - the agency has rimarcato - has been also active part in supporting the realization of the dolphin near the Marine Station, that is the platform necessary to afford the berthing of the ships of the genoese company".
From part its alderman has evidenced the necessity "to join and to collaborate between institutional truths involved in the hypothetical solution of the problem in order to know the guidelines of the company and debit they answers, being supplied adapted infrastructures, to begin from the lengthening of the pier that would involve little expense since the "raft" exists already and are not necessary to change Town development plan. Solutions - he has added Bucci - that they only find themselves reuniting all to us around a concertazione table in order to bring to us to Genoa from the company with concrete answers then".
"The Municipality of Trieste - the city council member has said - has all the interest to repropose itself at the market of the cruises. To such fine to september we will be to Amburgo for the more international proud important cruise. The next year - Bucci has remembered - two new ships, the Mein Schiff 2 of the TUI Cruises, German, and the Horizon of the Pullmantur, Spanish will arrive to Trieste also. To November there is great wait and already have left arrangements for the arrival of the Sea Side of company MSC. Delicate then - it has found the city council member - also the issue tied to the disembarkation of crocieristi of the Coast in occasion of the Barcolana, 1 and 8 October, two already programmed dates from the company, but that probably "they will jump" for logistic reasons and connected the normative new of safety to the sailing manifestation. The root of Pier VII would have been an alternative of usable mooring but today it is not more possible".
"In defined - he has concluded Bucci - I appeal to the presidents Serracchiani and Zeno D' Augustin for giving weight to the entire operation inviting them to join to us and to share a reasonable distance that allows to find together solutions us effective in order to guarantee the permanence of Costa Crociere to Trieste". Perhaps an appeal that evidently, date the surprise provoked in Region from the initiative of the alderman, Serracchiani (and also Of Augustin) would have favorite the graves turned directly and through the press.
