UIR contests the RFI prescription that sine die previews the interruption of the traffic goods on the railway net
The association considers it excessive in particular for the geographic extension, if confronted with the forecasts weather circulated
March 2, 2018
Also the Union To interpose to you Reunited (UIR), the association that represents Italian interposing to you, as other primary organizations to which companies are under responsibility that operate in the field of the transport and of the logistics that carries out a part or the totality of their activity on national the railway lines, it has contested strongly the prescription of the last hours, emanated from the manager of the railway infrastructure Italian Railway Net (RFI) to all the railway enterprises, that 2:00 sine die previews the interruption of the traffic of the goods on the national net from the hours yesterday, that is until when an improvement of the conditions is not recorded weather.
UIR has judged the excessive provision "in particular for the geographic extension, if confronted with the forecasts weather circulated". Moreover the association has marked that "many associates have huge damages already quickly because of the prohibition of circulation for emanated heavy means in recent days from the prefectures. In many cases - it has emphasized UIR - the prohibition has been found ineffective in the sense that, the entity of the snowy event, has been overly modest and such not to compromise in no way the practicability".
Evidencing that the ways elapsing between the sender/addressee of the shipment and the terminals, is often many breviums, inferiors to the 50 kilometers, UIR has observed that "it would have been opportune to grant an exception to means employed in such services", exception that the association has specified "to have already supported to the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports for other initiatives of regulation of the prohibition of circulation of heavy means".
"In this way - it has denounced UIR - besides the huge economic damages for the terminalisti, the occasion gets lost to demonstrate as, in some particular situations, the combination of techniques of forwards road-track can be more efficient regarding the all-rubber".
