Confitarma, a large part of the Italian fleet excluded from resources for the renewal and modernization of ships
Undermined the competitiveness of the national fleet on the European and international market
November 25, 2021
"The 500 million euros envisaged by the government with the Decree-Law No 59/2021, converted into Law No. 101/2021 - remembered Mattioli - are intended for renewal and modernization only of ferry and passenger ships operating in the Mediterranean area. There is a real risk - underlined the president of Confitarma - to exclude a large part of our fleet from the national strategy to combat climate change, effectively reducing its competitiveness on the European market and international and, above all, making it even more difficult to achieve the ambitious objectives set on environmental issues'.
"The entire world maritime industry - he continued Mattioli - fully shares the ambitious reduction targets of emissions and for some time it has been taking action in this regard at the level international and community. In these days the Committee of the IMO that will decide on the creation of a five billion dollars research and development fund, proposed from shipping, to accelerate technological development aimed at ensure that zero-carbon fuels can be used on large ocean-going ships. If approved, the research and development fund should be operational by 2023, allowing the entry into service of a large number of ships at zero CO2 emissions by 2030, making the zero-emission maritime transport by 2050."
