A study evidences the importance of the Venetian ports in the regional and Italian economic system



The harbour positioning of the Venetian system, comprising the ports of Venice and Chioggia, in the various national and European operating withins and regarding the competitor, appears decidedly important if it is considered that Venice is the first national crocieristico home port with 1,56 million enlivened passengers and seventh between the mercantile ports thanks to beyond the 26 million one enlivened tons of goods and that the port of Chioggia, in the field of the peach, is according to solo to Mazara del Vallo thanks to the 16,788 tons of fished and to beyond 5,5 thousands of tons of total tonnage of the fishing fleet. It on behalf evidences a study realized by Centro Studi Sintesi and Smart Land of the Authority of Harbour System of Mare Adriatico Settentrionale and the Chamber of Commerce of Venice Rovigo that an innovative method anticipates in order to calculate the induced one and the direct and indirect fallen back ones of the Venetian ports in the regional and Italian economic system.

In occasion of the today's presentation of the study "the economic and social impact of the Venetian harbour system", happened to Marghera Port in the Venice Heritage Tower, the AdSP of Mare Adriatico Settentrionale has emphasized that the study represents an innovation from the point of view of the adopted methodology and turns out totally replicable, is in terms of systematic update anniversary of the job, is in terms of application of the method to others different harbour truths. The adopted matrix would afford, in fact, to the political decisore to photograph the situation of all the Italian harbour truths, helping it to define development strategies that guarantee the best ones turned out possible in economic and occupational terms, and being supported it in the definition of the infrastructural priorities and in the allocation of deep the available ones.

Remembering that the harbour system of northern Mare Adriatico demonstrates a detached vocation of port it fines-purpose, where no within prevails on other the significantly one and where the agricultural and food- row comes abreast to that iron worker, chemistry, energetic, commercial, tourist and to that of the peach, the AdSP has explained that the investigation demonstrates also as the vocation fines-purpose of the port has accompanied and supported the increase of the territory and its enterprises: in the analyzed fields, the flows in income to the port turn out closely functional to the regional territory and the Northeast, areas for which the port is a primary source of feeding, so much so that the same areas coincide with the final destinations of almost the totality of the goods enlivened by the harbour system. It achieves some - it has observed the harbour authority - than failing of the functionality of the port would provoke consisting damages to the entire local and regional economic system. It emerges, moreover - it has still evidenced the agency - as important the opportunity to include the harbour system inside of the next regional strategic choices is in infrastructural terms is economic.

The document indicates in 1.260 the companies directly correlated to the activity of the port of Venice and in 322 the companies employed to Chioggia, for a total of 21.175 assigned. The companies involved from the port of Venice develop a value of direct production of 6,6 billion euros, weighing for 27% on the communal economy and for 13% on that subway. Measuring also the induced one, the economic impact total is quantifiable in 92.284 places of job, 61% recorded in the within metropolitan, 13% in the regional within to out of the metropolitan city and 26% in Italy to out of Veneto.

Between directed, indirect production and induced, the hung Venetian harbour system for 21 billion euros of which: 11,7 billion directed production, seven billions of induced indirect production and 2,3 billion, equivalent to the production generated from the consumption of the gross salaries and wage perceived by the involved force job. About 10,6 billion the production total they remain in the metropolitan city, 3,9 in the remaining remainder of Veneto and 6,4 in the remainder of the Country. If for economic impacts directed to benefit some it is above all the local territory, regarding the indirect and induced impacts, the majority of the beneficial fallen back ones is recorded elsewhere, to confirmation of the external interconnections generated by the harbour system.

"How much we today anticipate - the president of the Authority of Harbour System has commented, Pino Musolino - supplies us the scientific base in order to assert that the Venetian harbour system, for economic-productive value and fallen back occupational, is a patrimony of national importance. The importance of the study, but, goes beyond the results, because today we propose to the political decisore an instrument of tried effectiveness in order to carry out of the replicable analyses in the time and exportable in the other Italian harbour ports of call, useful to take strategic decisions effectively founded on the data and the real perspectives of increase of a section with a temporal horizon mean-along. Such instrument allows to define and to realize the infrastructures that really serve and, therefore, to allot in the best possible way the resources European and national financial institutions. I use systematic of this methodology, moreover, it would allow sure benefits with all the system Country in terms of increase results and of I throw again of the occupation and would afford definitively to uncouple us from an old modality of parochial and myopic programming inside territories that, instead, need more and more of greater synergy and harmonic strategies in order to turn out winning in the total competition".

"The Venetian harbour system - it has agreed the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Venice Rovigo, Giuseppe Fedalto - is an activator of economies, induced added value and production of. It is necessary to work on these potentialities and to develop heading them to receive logistic investments and for this is necessary to plan instruments that of it they favor their attraction and in such direction it goes emphasized the strategic importance of the Simplified Logistic Zone".
