Collapse of the highway viaduct happened Morandi Bridge a week ago in the capital of Liguria will involve an increment of the direct costs of the road haulage that serves the harbour basin of Genoa-Sampierdarena pairs to six million euro to the month. The esteem is of Trasportounito, than in order to elaborate it has calculated it the kilometers in more necessary in order to cover the alternative routes, the commercial increment of the times of wait, the reduced speeds of the transport and above all the loss of productive ability in terms of deliveries to the day.
Six million - it has specified Giuseppe Tagnochetti, from Liguria coordinator of Trasportounito Liguria - are "a figure that could also turn out very higher and that it assumes an important weight on a national level also, considering that 400 enterprises are involved at least and about 2.000 drivers".
"Draft - it has specified moreover Tagnochetti - of a first esteem that does not hold and cannot still take into consideration the consequences and of the effectiveness of a series of infrastructural participations of emergency, as the opening of the new road to sea in the state property Ilva areas and, the new completed practicability of Canepa esplanade and the modalities of access to the highway node of the airport. Actions that, if put in existence jointly, would have to contain the operating and economic impact on the companies, legacy to collapse of the Morandi. If we will be called then to operate also in turns nocturnes - it has added the representative of Trasportounito - the road haulage enterprises are found to face an ulterior increase of the costs of the staff between the 30 and 35%, without to count the necessity to invest in new cars and operativity".
In the light of this Trasportounito analysis it has asked I confront with companies urgent and locked also outsourcers who - Tagnochetti has wished - "we are convinced responsibly will be involved in I confront true and therefore in setting up of new operating conditions of job let alone in the definition of a tariff system of the services of road haulage adapted to the state of emergency".
