The manifacturing world needs an adapted development of infrastructures and the logistics
It emphasizes the Federation of the Sea
February 5, 2018
"In order to maintain a position of vanguard in the manifacturing world an adapted development of infrastructures and the logistics is more and more necessary, so as to assure quick, effective and economic transports between the national or European areas and that great door on the world that is the sea". It has evidenced the Federation of the Sea, organization that great part of the associations of the Italian marine field reunites, to conclusion of the forum "Shipping, Forwarding & Logistics Meet Industry that are finished friday to Milan.
The Federation of the Italian Marine System has remembered that today the fleet of Italian flag is between the main ones to the world (third of the great countries reunited in the G20) and is situated between the 16 and 17 million tons of tonnage, with positions of absolute relief in the which adulterated fields more (ro-ro, chemicals cruise ships, ships for) and that the impact on the Italian economy of the marine activities goes beyond the aspects more closely legacies to their trasportistica dimension and involves directly also the productive fields, manifacturing and terziari, of the economy. Industrial the marine cluster annually spends in fact almost 20 billion euros in purchases of goods and services.
The Federation has remembered moreover that in 2016, last year of which they are available complete surveys, Italy has imported for sea 200 million tons of goods and of it has exported 70 million. To this the internal transport of goods joins that is situated today on 95 million the tons. Altogether, therefore, for the Italian ports they are passed beyond 480 million tons of goods: 180 million goods liquid, helter-skelter 70 million tons of solid bulk, 196 million goods several (of which, 95 million tons on rotabili and 120 million in container). Of this enormous amount of goods, crude, semifinished and tons ended, 80 million are fossil energetic sources, as crude oil and gas, and have a logistics all they; but the remainder, almost 400 million tons, demand displacements from and towards the ports through the country, that is logistic activities: they are, - it has specified the Federation of the Sea - for example 44 million refined producing tons of oil, 24 of manufactured products in metal, 24 of producing agricultural and alimentary, 17 of minerals, 14 of chemicals and to articles in plastic and rubber, seven of materials buildings, as many tons of wood and paper, in order to end with producing to high added value, as five million tons of equipment and machinery, three of means of transport, a million tons of furniture.
It goes then emphasized - it has evidenced the Federation - as today the logistics is from not only estimating under the profile of the enlivened amounts, but under that of the same value of the logistic activities, than often they constitute an important part of the value of the goods. In such sense, the Italian production - gradually that it increases of value - must be made loaded also with the activities of transfer to destiny of the goods, abandoning the habit up to here often continuation of the cession "ex factory". The marine system, the logistics and the manifacturing industry - it has found the Federation of the Sea - find therefore a natural and necessary interdependence. In the full respect of the competition, their integration will be condition for an ulterior development. In order to maintain a position of vanguard in the manifacturing world, an adapted development of infrastructures and the logistics is more and more necessary, so as to assure quick, effective and economic transports between the national or European areas and that great door on the world that is the sea.
Observing that the relief of the marine cluster must recall also to an effective administrative coordination in marine matter, so giving to answer to a issue how much never felt from when the marine competences progressively they are dispersed between more administrations, the Federation of the Sea has concluded wishing an adapted attention to the field in political center and that a chain of working command very, with a specialized administration, makes cargo of the problems and carries the solution characterized to its performance in narrow times, consistent to characteristic the international standards of the marine world.
