Speaking on the proclamation of the strike of a part of road transport in Sicily, the general manager of the Sustainable Intermodality Logistics Association (ALIS), Marcello Di Caterina, said that the association "reiterates its disagreement with any form of protest that could paralyze or damage an already put to the test and, while understanding some recent concerns emerged, intends to take a clear distance from the recent demonstrations of dissent and strikes or blockades to and from ports proclaimed by some associations operating in the sector road transport of Sicily, linked to the perception of slowness and insufficient funds allocated to measures incentives for the sector".

"We are convinced - continued Di Caterina - that, through an open and constructive dialogue, solutions that ensure the necessary support for operators without resorting to drastic measures such as strikes or blockades of intermodal transport services. In this sense, we are satisfied that the MIT, also and above all thanks to the dialogue with ALIS to our constructive contribution to the benefit of the entire supply chain logistic-port department, has undertaken, with an official note received by certified email, to work to allocate the funds coming from from ETS taxation to the increase in the financial envelope intended precisely for the incentive for maritime intermodality Sea Modal Shift, also trying, where possible, also to recover the funds allocated for the year 2022 and not disbursed. This great result - concluded Di Caterina - would in fact allow to enhance intermodal transport, helping to reduce the impact of the and significantly supporting the Motorways of the and road transport, and would also help to re-establish a balance between the different modes of transport".
