Last year in the Sardinian ports they are landed beyond 260 cruise ships for a total of 565 thousand fleeting



Last year in the ports managed from the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sardinia, the new born agency little months ago from the amalgamation of the Harbour Authorities of Cagliari and the Sardinia North that manages the ports of Cagliari, Foxi-Sarroch, Olbia, Porto Torres, Golfo Aranci, Oristano, Portoscuso-Portovesme and Santa Teresa di Gallura, are landed altogether beyond 260 cruise ships for a crocieristi traffic of 565 thousand to which passengers of the ferries join 5,6 million.

The fleeting data of the enlivened traffic in 2017 from the Sardinian ports are introduced today by the president of the AdSP of the Sea of Sardinia, Massimo Deiana, and from its staff, that they have evidenced as the Sardinian crocieristica season is distributed on all the 12 months of the year, with berthings in dock from the first days of January to the last week of December for the South they isolate and from freedom of expression to that of November for the North.

Of about 565 thousand crocieristi the totals last year, 430,534 are passed by Cagliari, 96,024 from Olbia, 35,901 from Porto Torres, 1,110 from Golfo Aranci and 600 from Oristano. The division of the number ships sees the port of call inhabitant of cagliari in pole position with 164 cruises, Olbia with 67, Porto Torres with 27, Golfo Aranci with four and touched Oristano with a single one.

Currently for crocieristica season 2018 the ports of call are about 250 totals previewed for all the island, temporary numbers that will grow in the next few months with the reservations that will on the agenda derive from the presentation of the offered new "Sardinia Destination" in the course of the numerous international encounters, from the fairs, to the summits, until the narrow appointments with the executives of the crocieristiche companies. The Sardinian harbour agency has specified that the increase previewed in 2018 will interest also the number of crocieristi regarding the year precedence because new ships, of the greater capacity, will appear on the two main ports of Cagliari and Olbia, with a forecast of arrivals that will attest on 600 thousand unit.

Relatively to the ferries, in the 2017 more important data that of the port of Olbia remains, than it attests almost 2,7 million passengers, followed from Porto Torres with 992.678, Portovesme with 702.488, Golfo Aranci with 687.297, Cagliari with 294.584 and Santa Teresa with 273.490. Results - it has specified the AdSP - than stabilize on those 15% in more recorded in the 2016 regarding the year precedence, confirming the resumption of the under way field two years ago after heavy collapse of the marine transport.

"That introduced today, more than a simple budget - it has observed Massimo Deiana is a starting point for new challenges. The positive numbers and the consolidated situation of the main ports us invogliano sure to proceed sent in order to confirm up to now recorded how much and, above all, in order to work to the introduction of the new truths of the Authority of Harbour System in the crocieristico market and to the activation of new commercial lines that we will go to study in the optical of together".

Deiana has evidenced as for the potenziamento of the Sardinian ports of call he is fundamental a infrastructuring coordinated from an only cabin of careful direction to value the vocation of every port of competence: "together with the technical structure - it has explained - we are preparing new participations in order to improve the navigability and safety of the docks. In the first phase they attend us the dredgings for the ports of Olbia, Porto Torres and Golfo Aranci. An other million and means deep regional will be destined to the port of call of Santa Teresa for the lengthening of 25 meters of the existing dock (for a total of about 170 meters) and the realization of a new destined large square to the preboarding of means wide about 1500 square metres. Other manutentivi participations will interest the port of Cagliari and that of Portovesme, for which they are previewed of the work on the docks, while for the other ports of call, on which the Agency has started a careful monitoring of state of the art, the budget of forecast approved of to November will allow us each time to allocate the resources for the necessary participations".
