Deliberated the relative lapsing of concessionaire's right of CICT to the Port Channel of Cagliari



The Committee of management of the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Sardinia has revoked the licence of enterprise to the Cagliari International Container Terminal (CICT), the society of the group Contship Italy that managed the container terminal to the Port Channel of Cagliari, and consequently has deliberated the forfeiture from the concession of which the CICT was holder from 1997.

Specifying that to the deliberation yesterday afternoon of the Committee of management will follow in the next few days I decree that, in effective being profitable it is the revocation of the licence that the forfeiture, will indicate the terms for the restoration and it gives back it of the good, the AdSP has evidenced that with such step "is shut, therefore, a difficult chapter for the system of the transhipment Sardinian, whose traffics managed from the terminalista, in last the four years, are collapsed until the zero setting. A dynamics, this - it has remembered the agency - that the revocation has activated, already previewed in the sitting of the Committee of management on 1° July, and sent back upon request of the MIT in the last attempt of agreement with the society, for lacked, let alone iterated, respect of the engagements assumed in the operating program of the CICT".

In order to find a new operator that it will manage 900 thousand square metres of harbour areas available, with beyond 1.500 linear meters of docks with -16 grounds meters for potential of annual traffic containers pairs to 1,3 million teu, the AdSP of the Sea of Sardinia have announced that it will proceed "with a "sollicitation of market" to international level for the location of a new subject that, with the reactivation of the traffics, can riproiettare the Port Channel to the natural Mediterranean function of hub".

The harbour agency has specified that they will be the four propedeutici points key to the public ban: "one, purely technical one, on the valorization of the infrastructural offer present. A second, strategic, that it will enclose the conditions of favor of the "total package" of takeover: performance of Special the Economic Zone (for which the signature lacks appropriate decrees ministerial) and perimetrazione of the area of six hectares to assign to customs Bonded area interclusa (already started on July from the Cacip). An other, of bureaucratic character, that it involves the overcoming of the landscaped constraints on which is started a new interlocuzione as a result of the contrary opinion expressed from the Mibact on the remake of the landscaped authorization of the Port Channel and relative works of mitigation and compensation approved of from the Conference of services on 27 May. Last point key, at last, the reactivation, by the Sardinia Region, of Contratto of localization that would allow with the future concessionaire to have use of financings unsecured to part cover of the takeover".

"It has not been sure - it has emphasized the president of the AdSP, Massimo Deiana - an easy choice that of the Committee of management, but draft however of a due and consequent action to an iterated inottemperanza to written up four-year operating program 2017-2020 from the same terminalista and we accepted. A lacked respect the assumed engagements that it has generated the financial ruin of a healthy system and concatenating and unprecedented occupational crisis in front of which the law imposes this answer".

"The revocation - it has clarified Deiana - will not be of no use, but already from today we will activate ourselves with the precise objective to set upright again risen of the traffic the container in the island. We will continue to search new ready subjects to bet on a terminal and a market that they have still much to offer, sure of the full support to ministerial and regional level, above all in order to exceed the bureaucratic stall tax from constraints that investments for beyond 90 million euros hold to brake. It is an important game, for the economy and the occupation, in front of which we must go ahead sent and, they are sure, in total propositiva synergy with all the involved subjects".
