Assoporti pointed out that, compared to the period January-September 2019, in the first nine months of 2021 we have recorded a recovery of pre-crisis levels in the handling of goods and passengers with data that, albeit with a reduction of percentages in the handling of liquid bulk, show significant signs of growth in the miscellaneous goods and in the movements of containers. "We are seeing - observed the president of the association, Rodolfo Giampieri - a port in recovery that makes us look to the future with a reasoned optimism. Ports, which are an integral part of the modern logistics, they have shown themselves resilient and organized so much to guarantee the supply of goods throughout the country, such as we have repeatedly recalled. Signs of recovery will have to be accompanied and strengthened by all the necessary investments to ensure the competitiveness of ports, as required by the PNRR and the Supplementary Fund, which set ambitious objectives and highly stimulating also for the ecological and digital transition of the sector. Totally different the theme of passengers linked directly to the current health situation and its evolution'.
