The association of the genoese shippers has launch a new alarm that follows the alerts for the impact of the negative consequences for the activity of the port of Genoa determined from the effects of collapse of the highway viaduct Morandi happened to halves August that give Spediporto then have repeatedly diffused. Today the association has marked another "new cold shower for operators represented from Spediporto": "it is of some day makes - it has explained the association - the discovered bitter that the authorizations are suspended by and for for transport exceptional port of Genoa over the 75 tons of cargo.

This - it has emphasized Blow - "is ulterior an important sign of the necessity that Italy takes part with urgency to update own infrastructures so as it happens with iron punctuality and programming all over the world. In these days as Spediporto - it has found the general manager of the association - together with the presidents of all the Authorities of System, we are visiting to Singapore the infrastructures and are dawned here continuously, shortly the same port of Singapore, one you draw more modern to the world, will come ulteriorly dawned to the aim to support the next development plan to 2040 with objective beyond the 50 million one containers. We must look to the east in order to understand where the world is going and cannot stuffed to find with inadequate infrastructures".

"Genoa - they have concluded the representatives of Spediporto - must be one of the protagonist of the logistic development of our Country and it cannot renounce to a its dimension of capital of the shipping, but we must equip it of all necessary infrastructures: new bridge, streams, third pass and an adapted railway system".
