Federagenti, the Italian Green Deal must pass through the sea
Saints: it is necessary to invest consistently, and not by slogans, in ports and logistics
January 21, 2022
In Italy - continued the president of Federagenti - the government on the one hand has "made the green deal a horse of battle, putting in place a Ministry of Transition ecological, a Ministry of Transport become (and the adjective in this case is substantial) "sustainable" and, from a few days, even a minister is plenipotentiary, sent special for climate change in co-ownership between esters and ecological transition; on the other, as Federagenti - has remembered Saints - he had already highlighted in his assembly October general, it was ignored that the answer to great part of the problems of ecological transition and eco-sustainability could be found in the sea, become instead for our Country a real guest of stone».
For the president of Federagenti, to put the sea at the center of the Italian Green Deal it would be necessary "to invest consistently, and not by slogan, in ports and logistics putting the country's ports in a position to compete at the level international, allowing to carry out the dredging of the seabed without which sooner or later the main seaports will result, in the name of a short-sighted environmentalism, impracticable for the most part of ships that will risk in a shorter time than they will you think, to run aground."
"It is perhaps worth remembering - he highlighted Saints - that today the great ocean container ships land in the northern ports facing multiple days of navigation maritime passing under our heel and exiting via Gibraltar, and the transported goods undergo a subsequent land transport to south; all this instead of using the ports of northern Italy the which means hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel wasted fossil and consequent emissions of gases into the environment".
"Italy - concluded Santi referring to the sources energy available on the other side of the Mediterranean - yes located in the best position of connection through the sea with the African continent, both maritime and physical in the form of pipeline or submarine cables; we transform our ports into hubs energy, nodes of future energy smart grids. Precisely because there is no Planet B and to ensure the necessary transition ecological, let's start again to make renewed choices that in the last years a short-sighted environmentalism has denied us to be able to do».
