The need for the creation of the director's box was UIR President Matteo Gasparato an open letter at UIRNet's shareholders' meeting which was held last June 1st.

"Dr. D'Agostino, in addition to playing the role of President of the Port Authority of the Sea Eastern Adriatic and vice president of ESPO (European Sea Ports Organization) from November 2018 - underlined the President by UIRNet, Lorenzo Cardo - is a proven manager experience of the sector and professor of local economics, logistics and freight transport. We believe that we have made a choice of high-quality and highly experienced ability to finally give an effective imprint on the project that we have the task of realizing "I think it's a good thing," he said.

For this reason, deliberately and explicitly, we intended to open a comparison and gather useful information to the entire supply chain of logistics.

I also feel a great responsibility: with all the components we will have to make see in the coming months if and how the logistics platform nationally may be a reality capable of bringing change and innovation not only on paper. It won't be and so I ask, in thanking UIRNet and the Ministry for full cooperation and support from important stakeholders."
