The ANGOPI is satisfied of the European legislative picture for services of mooring



For giving harmony to the normative picture and strengthening the nexus between the service of mooring and safety to European Regolamento 2017/352, that it has instituted a normative picture for the supply of harbour services and common norms in transparency matter financial institution of the ports(on 23 January 2017), a last dowel lacks: the modification, "we hope imminent", of Regolamento for the Execution of the Navigation code that will characterize "a formative distance obligatory in order to achieve a specific Certificate of competence, necessary to be able to approach and to carry out our service". It has found today Cesare Guidi, president of the ANGOPI, the national association ormeggiatori and boatmen of the Italian ports, in the course of the convention "the mooring service after the Reg. EU 2017/352. Experiences to I confront" that it has been organized from the association and has been carried out to the Marine Station of Trieste.

Opening the work of the convention, It guides has remembered as the original formulation of Regolamento, than - it has asserted - it was "all centered on the idea, mistaken, than with the liberalization of the harbour services the potentialities of development of the European ports could only compiutamente be optimized, considerably are reorganized". Contrarily to the address followed in the past from the Commission - it has explained Guides - with Regolamento also to the mooring service the tie with safety of navigation in harbour within and the landing place is recognized in European center ", conforming, in fact, the relative function to that of the towing and pilotage services". the president of the ANGOPI has emphasized that a determining contribution in this direction is "derived from defined how much in April 2016 in within IMO, through the lines guides on the formation and the minimal instruction for the ormeggiatori".

About the previewed organizational model from Regolamento 352, It guides it has observed that "the administration has considered to choose the associative instrument of cooperative type framing it and characterizing it as operating inside, having been the such most suitable model for the development of the assigned institutional tasks to the ormeggiatori in the Italian ordering and attended the characteristics of our ports and those of the traffic that scales them".

In its participation It guides has been said then strongly critical on the self-handler of the harbour services: "in any case - it has specified - anyone wants autoprodursi the service must respect all the relative norms to the modalities of distribution of the same service and guarantee directly or indirectly the effective and integral function and presence of the services under investigation that they are autoprodotti".

The president of the ANGOPI has concluded with a reference to the rescue in sea of the migrants: "I see - it has asserted - a climate that it worries me. The law of the sea prescribes that who is in sea and is in danger goes saved".

Taking part to the convention admiral Giovanni Pettorino, general commander of the Body of the Harbour offices, has exhorted to leave the normative order unchanged: "there is - he has rimarcato - I balance between the commander of the port and the nautical services technical. The risk is that this I balance is put in difficulty from subject third party. Trouble - it has perceived - to touch the normative picture".

Evidencing that "the ports are the most delicate places", vice-president of the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), Zeno D' Augustin, it has observed that "Europe is found in a context of important geopolitical changes, in the within of which the role of the nautical services technical becomes delicate, attended also their involvement in security matter. It is therefore necessary - it has specified - than the EU connections on these crucial issues in the times in which we live".

Between the other participations, Victor Schoenmakers of the Harbour Authority of Rotterdam has said that the "European Regulations are a balanced form of legislation that holds account of the characteristics of the single European countries", while for admiral Cristiano Aliperta, former Italian representative to the International Maritime Organization, Italy has to go wrong closing the Ministry of Marina Mercantile.
