To confirmation of this it is important to signal that while the man-work units engaged directly in the marine activities have grown in last the twenty years of 39.3% (about 48.000 units in more), those in the activities "upstream and to valley" of the marine row they have grown of 61% (+162,600).

Our mercantile fleet is between main (the Italian flag is third between the states of the G20), so as shipbuilding and the nautical one. Our Country is to the first place in Europe as croceristica goal. And all this - Masucci has still remembered - has fallen back important on all the economy: every year 20 billion euros in goods and services they are acquired by the enterprises of the marine cluster in the other economic fields".
