The association of the Trasportounito road haulage asks to characterize areas of refuel/defuel for the trucks in presses of the harbour perimeter of Genoa to the aim to 14th August tackle to the emergency determined from collapse of the viaduct happened Morandi Bridge that the highway artery has cut in two that the capital of Liguria crosses. "The retroportualità to 70 kilometers (Rivalta) of distance from the harbour basins - the coordinator of Trasportounito Liguria explains, Giuseppe Tagnochetti - has exorbitant costs and difficultly sustainable operating complexities. It risks therefore to being a emergenziale choice not oriented to real criteria of perspective in terms of productivity and continuity".
According to Trasportounito, he would be therefore "more strategic and functional to characterize areas buffer (dedicated to the drainage and cargo) contiguous or more neighbors to the harbour perimeter, where to make to converge the trucks for the drainage to earth of the full and empty containers in the hours of greater afternoon congestionamento, from where to mostly organize a navettamento towards the terminalistiche areas of night, so not to weigh on the road net of heavy traffic during the day. For this reason - the association finds - the guideline to use Rivalta which lung of collection and of attended of the heavy containers and means, because of the excessive distance, can be considered solo as an exclusively emergenziale choice".
Moreover Trasportounito, so that - it has specified the association - such choice does not fall back negatively and heavy on the road haulage enterprises, speeds up the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western to activate "a general contract that, oriented to the dictated public interest from the emergency, is able to guarantee some sure rules which, for example: the certainty that to every travel corresponds the double operation of drainage and markup; that the drafts are paid in a tariff regime that holds account of the operating complexities; that the regular companies of road haulage are used".
