Federagenti raises an alarm about the risk of marginalization from the world market run by Italian maritime brokers
Saints: The country system has become incapable of understanding how vital it is to defend some activities related to vital trafficking
February 10, 2021
"With a country system that, in a general landscape of shortening of strategic supply chains and increased control over them, became incapable of understand how vital it is to defend certain activities linked to vital traffic, instead delegating control to players foreigners - underlines the President of Federagenti, Alessandro Santi - the activity of maritime brokers also marks the step triggering an alarm that cannot go unheeded. Despite a tradition and consolidated reliability, despite an ability to train and employ young people who more and more often they are attracted by foreign sirens, shipping companies are always subject to increased frequency of bypassing by foreign competitors that on the domestic market can compete with fewer constraints, but even fewer guarantees for customers, obtaining the favor of large national loaders, starting with multinationals in the sector energy supply.'
According to Federagenti, a vicious circle is therefore created in which large loaders exclude national companies of brokerage, these also see eroded their historical propensity training and employment of young people who, in increasing numbers, or emigrate or seek employment with the loaders, with the result that to weaken what was a flagship of shipping Italian and Mediterranean countries and, with a domino effect, also the power contractual and control of the country's industrial players who until a few years ago they found in Italian brokers not only a brokerage figure, but above all a trusted advisor.
"On the square of Genoa alone - summarizes Federagenti for clarify the scope of the problem -
in ten years the number of companies has almost halved with specialized employees passed by the almost 340 of 2010 to 220 today."
