February 14, 2022
According to Merlo, "the time has come to face, with seriousness and concreteness and therefore in the management of resources of the PNRR, the issues related to technological innovation and digitalization, on which security depends so such as the efficiency and competitiveness of ports, but also of the entire logistics chain. The times - underlined the president of Federlogistica-Conftrasporto - they are tight: 2022 will be the key year with the entry into force of the directive European Nis 2 on the security of network and information systems, Directive that will extend the scope of action in many areas delicate among which transport and ports, will expand the obligations not only to large companies but also to medium-sized and it will provide for high penalties for those who do not comply".
"The Italian logistics and port system - he continued Blackbird - can not be found unprepared. The resources of the PNRR for digitization must therefore be used for help companies but also the Port System Authorities to structure. It is worth remembering that the same AdSP cope with workloads relevant to the design and implementation of the works to be carried out. And precisely in this scenario they must be able to count on systems inviolable, immediately introducing the figure of the cyber manager».
"The digital transformation - concluded Merlo - is also at the center of a process aimed at changing the ways of doing things governance of the Port System Authorities and to make them increasingly synergistic with the objectives of shipowners, companies and all stakeholders interacting in the world Italian port. But now resources are needed not only economic, but also human and professional, without which the digitization process would continue to be characterized, as it happened for too long, in slogans and not in concrete facts".
