"If we want to diversify energy sources - he said the director general of Confitarma - we need to intervene on what is by its nature flexible: transport maritime, the mobile infrastructure par excellence, as the ship allows the reference markets to be diversified rapidly.' Looking at the gas sector, most of which comes in through gas pipelines - added Sisto - the role of transport maritime could help reduce dependence on a few Suppliers. "To do this - he specified - it is, however, we need to reconsider our policy on regasification plants and support the development of the fleet of ships gas tankers'.
To address these scenarios, Confitarma asked that at most soon an institutional table will be convened dedicated to the energy policy in the coming decades, which also includes the maritime transport, sector - underlined the Confederation - also defined by the strategic government for the country, as the period of the pandemic testified. In addition, considered the unsustainability of the bunker price for the companies of navigation, Confitarma has urged "a measure for the "refreshment" of the "expensive diesel" that - has specified Sixtus - in rewarding the virtuosity of the enterprises of navigation using alternative fuels, may be of benefit also for the rest of the fleet that uses bunkers traditional'.
