Federagenti calls for compliance with the law to apply to ships and ports at this time of emergency
Duci: why is a citizen who violates the obligation to stay at home rightly sanctioned while any local administrator can prevent the landing of an Italian ship?
April 6, 2020
'The decree of the Presidency of the Council, launched on 19 last March - recalled Duci - explicitly refers cruise ships flying the Italian flag and the obligation to docking in Italian ports. It is obvious that This should be done by putting in place all the measures protection of public health, but think about putting discussion at every practical opportunity as required by law is really too much."
We appreciate - added Duci - the diplomacy of the Commander General of the Port Captains' Corps, Giovanni Pettorino, and Coordination actions of the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Paola De Micheli, "but I wonder -- observed the President of the Federation of Italian Maritime Agents - for a citizen who violates the obligation to stay at home introduced by the government is rightly sanctioned, while any local administrator, who until a few weeks ago proclaimed the importance of cross-country tourism on its own territory, can prevent the application of a law with impunity born in the same context."
"Avoiding mentioning the international conventions corally recognize the right of ships to dock in ports to deal with emergency situations - concluded the President Federagenti - we invite the institutions, be they Regions, mayors or even more individual parliamentarians, to allow to the men who work in the ports and who are responsible in the field maritime to do their job that these days is difficult and complex enough. Of all, these men need less than discussions and conflicts of expertise."
