It is essential that the national and Lombardic institutions support the port of Genoa after collapse of Morandi Bridge



It is fundamental that the national and Lombardic institutions support the great effort that the port of Genoa is making after collapse of the highway viaduct Morandi Bridge 14th August. The appeal gushed from the conviviale encounter of the The International Propeller is this Club Port of Milan that has yesterday held on the topic "the situation of Genoa after collapse of the Morandi Bridge. I confront on the strategies and the actions to protection of the competitiveness of the first Italian port".

Introducing the evening, to which they have participated about 50 associates in representation of the world of shipments and the Milanese and Lombardic logistics, president of Propeller Club, Riccardo Fuochi, it has explained that the encounter has been organized "in order to restate that Milan wants to feel sympathy for the genoese harbour community. We will make promoters - he has specified - of constant activities of sensitization on the situation of the port of call of Genoa, wishing that the necessary actions for the protection of the port are realized quickly. We hope, moreover, that from this tragedy a new approach can be born and reason in strategic way on the measures in favor of the entire portualità and of Italian infrastructures, the competition is in fact much lock out and abroad important works in fast times come true that they allow with our competitors to remove quotas traffic to our Country".

"One of the more important aspects in this moment - it has emphasized in its Alessandro Pitto participation, president of Spediporto, the association of the genoese shippers - is to make to arrive clear and correct information on the real state of the situation to Genoa. Not there is doubt that the situation is complex, yield at the moment still more critic from the momentary impossibility to use the submersible Railroad (the railway line that connects the station of Sampierdarena Shunting with the harbour basin of Sampierdarena, ndr), but something, is seen, is being realized. Today the new road of the Pope will be inaugurated who is sure contribution to optimize the camionistico flow from and for the basin of Sampierdarena; it will come gradually after inaugurated road 30 june that will allow with the heavy vehicles to arrive from Sampierdarena to Bolzaneto being cut much road. In last the railroad it would have to be recovered in 20 days after the dissequestro. Little ones signs - he has observed Pitto - of a city that does not surrender, but look ahead with determination. To Voltri the operativity is at full speed and to Sampierdarena it will resume shortly. Certainly the uneasiness will not lack but we can exceed putting them all the just engagement".

Alberto Banchero, president of Assagenti, the association of the genoese shipping agents, have remembered that "the Lombardy and the Piemonte depends respective for 65% and 84% of their import and exports from the ports of Genoa. The congestion of the city - it has evidenced - is an Italian problem, Italian North if we want to be more precise. The single competitor of our basins today is the ports of the Northern range. To lose traffics in favor of this area means to lose entered Vat per year (4,4 billion) and competitiveness at the level of system industry: Italy is the second manifacturing area in Europe after Germany. The German logistics will favor always own discapito manufacture to that Italian. We are - it has continued Banchero - in a situation of objective difficulty but if the local and national institutions will be able to short of giving to us to sure times on the remittance according to the practicability and of the railroad, as already it is happening at least from the railway side, will be able to reassure the market giving to the companies the possibility to plan their logistics. If it can be planned, the loss of competitiveness can be asked for".

The president of the Authority of Harbour System of the Ligurian Sea Western, Paolo Emilio Signorini, has manifested the auspice "that beside the already positive measures previewed from "I decree to Genoa" (the destination of 3% of the Vat produced from the port of Genoa, a simplified logistic zone that comprises all interposing to you served from Genoa and the development of computer science systems to support of the harbour procedures) can be previewed actions in support of the penalized categories more, firstly the road haulage, and for the realization of the last mile".

"For us Lombardic operators - he has agreed Betti Schiavoni, president of Alsea, the Lombardic association of the shippers and haulers - are important supported how much from the genoese colleagues and that is that to national and local political level clear and tempistiche answers arrive sure. We have today not found ill services or uneasiness and I cannot that confirm as the port of Genoa is vital for the goods Italian. We must be coesi and united in order to make to understand to Lombardic the national institutions but also the importance of special measures for the port of call.

Also Roberto Alberti, president Fedespedi, the national federation of the Italian shippers, the situation has turned "the great approval to the genoese community for the compactness demonstrated in facing and to bring emergency measures in order to guarantee the operativity of the port. Now - it has added - he is fundamental to avoid increases of costs on the goods that would put in difficulty the entire Italian economy".
