The marine-harbour operators of Venice speed up the government to return the development of the lagoon port possible



More than 80 boats between tugs, barges, boats from mooring and job, all to sirens explained, have crossed Venice which prologue of the manifestation" and if we turn upside down Venice" realized on initiative of the Association Raccomandatari Agents and Marine Mediatori of Veneto and the National Federation of Marine Marine and Mediating Agents Raccomandatari (Federagenti) and culminated with the signature of "the port it is life. Venice is weever" for throws again of the city-port that has been undersigned, first of all, from the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro.

"Venice - law among other things in the document - is patrimony of the world, but especially of who us weevers and works, and has been from always a port. Its development cannot more be contingent on the slowness of the decisions that would have to arrive from above, from the false "environmentalism" or a communication not corrected: the lacked manutentivo dredging of all the channels, harbour and the city, for example risks to block the harbour and industrial activities, putting to risk the future of 21.000 workers, that they produce a annual turnover of 6,6 billion euros".

"After the flood of last November - mayor Brugnaro has remembered - we have asked the government, as well as the completion and the mass in work of Mose, the refinancing of the special Law for Venice. They serve 150 million euros every year, for a decade, second our calculations, in order to complete improcrastinabili works, and attended from much time. To begin just from the escavo of the channels, than they are being buried, used from the port and the cruise ships, bringing back them at the best of fixed depth, that is at least 12 meters. And it leave of these financings - it has specified Brugnaro - must then be used for the escavo to dry of the rii in the historical Center, that it would allow to realize, at the same time, a drainage system and pure an antifire water net, that is two by now unavoidable works. In short the time of the waits is indeed ended: now it must act and take the just provisions, to beyond the political flags, for giving to a future to this city and who us weevers".

In the course of the manifestation it is evidenced that today the port of Venice occupies, between directed and induced, beyond 92.000 people (21,000 directed in port), it generates a turnover of 21 billion and especially it is the strategic of one of the more important productive and industrial poles of Europe, that Venetian and partially Lombardic port, that determinant assigns to Venice a strategic role.

In occasion of the event today they also are listed main "to the fake news" constructed in these years, also to international level, on Venice in topic of pollution, burial of the lagoon, smoke, guilt of the ships in the damaging of the foundations of Venice. Here the main ones, with the relevant refutation of the promoters of the today's initiative:
THE CHANNEL OILS IS THE EXCEPTIONAL DELL'ACQUA CAUSE HIGH This fake news is yields of a movement of opinion fed also from illustrious personages as Indro Montanelli, does not have some scientific foundation. The only scientific studies on the tides in Lagoon are, that duct in 1973 from the University of Padua and therefore by Johannis Dronker, perhaps the most authoritative world-wide student in matter, the Malamocco-Marghera channel has almost nothing infuence on the phenomenon of tidal wave, always connected to a strong meterological member. THE CHANNEL OILS AND THE SHIPS DESTROYS LAGUNA Some data: from 2002 to the 2013 eroded volume close of the Malamocco-Marghera channel it has been of a million cubic metres. The volumes dredged from the harbour Authority in the same period are piled to 4 million cubic metres. The vera causa of the morphologic degradation of the lagoon, contrastable with the actions that for Venice centuries have placed in existence, has had to the induced billowy motion from the wind; the ships are a secondary component. THE CHANNEL VITTORIO EMANUELE II WAS ONE NARROW CHANNEL False: constructed in order to connect the mouth of port of Lido it originally had a depth of 10,5 meters. After the commissioning of the Malamocco-Marghera channel it has maintained the characteristics of safety bypass; but the lacked maintenance has provoked its burial, present phenomenon in all the area and testified visibly from it arches of the Bridge of the Freedom by now completely which clogged. The Channel has had "impacts with not important morphologic consequences" in the hydraulic behavior of the Lagoon (Luigi D' Alpaos 2019). AIR POLLUTION. DELLE NAVI GUILT All the data on the quality of the air say the contrary: in summer the harbour activities affect for 8% the quality of the air. In winter for 2%. Data these that still do not hold account of the Venice agreement Blue Flag 2018, than through the obligation of I use of fuel to low sulfur tenor, has reduced the particulate matter of 46% and sulfur of 91%. The test? In full crocieristico period, by May to september, 4 sforamenti of PM10 are recorded alone while in the first 4 months of the year, period in which the ships they do not touch Venice, the sforamenti have been 40. According to German enviromentalists (NABU) a steamboat pollutes how much a cruise ship. All the cruise ships medium develop 6000 hours of emission in a year. The single public transport, therefore the steamboats, 560,000 hours and lack taxi, lancioni and boats from job. THE GREAT SHIPS CAUSE THE BILLOWY MOTION IN BASIN From the study of Luigi D' Alpaos, to in a minute allowed the height of the maximum wave cm would be of 40; in reality to the speeds continuation it is less than a ten than centimeters. THE CROCIERISTI ARE THE INVADERS OF VENICE To Venice the crocieristi represent alone 5% of the tourist flows and the quota is decreasing. Of 30 million the tourists who invade the city less than a million and means they are crocieristi and single 400,000 of these (pairs to 1.33%) visit the city. Every day against an invasion of 82.000 tourists, 3921, pairs to 5% comes from the ships.
