The problem of changing crews - Confitarma and Assarmatori and Federagenti denounce - is becoming absolutely unsustainable
Despite pressure from the shipping industry and the trade unions, they point out, there was no positive sign
July 10, 2020
Confitarma and Assarmatori and Federagenti recalled that "in Italy, on the problem of crews still stranded on ships caused by the Covid-19 emergency, the shipping industry together with the trade unions has repeatedly called back attention, asking the government and the relevant ministries to convene with the utmost urgency a table of comparison for share the issues and identify solutions but - have reported -- to date, no signal has been recorded positive in this regard.'
"For months," the president of Confitarma said, "I've been Mario Mattioli - we are calling for rapid and decided by the government to ensure our seafarers safe transit corridors, to get them on board to work and to get them home once the normal period of boarding.'
"It is urgent and a priority," he said. President of Assarmatori, Stefano Messina - intervene for the safeguarding human life at sea and for the safety of human navigation and our ships. Doing nothing would be further underestimation of the strategic importance of the maritime transport and the work of those who guarantee it."
"Shipowners and seafarers," reiterated the President of Federagenti, Gian Enzo Duci -- they've done and are doing their Duty. We are now waiting for a concrete signal."
