It would be harmful to get the port of Marina di Carrara out of the jurisdiction of the Ligurian Sea Port Authority Orientale, in which the port of La Spezia also falls, and bring it under that of the Port Authority of the Tyrrhenian Sea Northern Province which manages the ports of Livorno, Piombino and of the island of Elba. This was highlighted by Confindustria La Spezia which, referring to this hypothesis ( of the 11th and 15 October 2024), noted the need to "have the ability to overcome the conditioning of the logic of "the bell towers" and administrative boundaries".

He noted that the ports of Carrara and Spezia "increasingly over the years have consolidated the fact that they are an integral part of A single economic area", the association of industrialists La Spezia specified that he believes, therefore, "that it would be harmful, perhaps especially for the port of Marina di Carrara, return to old divisions largely overcome in reality of the facts".

Motivating the reasons why the association is not in favour of the hypothesis of merging Carrara with Piombino and Livorno, Confindustria La Spezia focused "on the developments and on the growth recorded since 2016 by the port of Marina di Carrara", that is, since the Carrara port has been located with the port of La Spezia under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority of the Sea Eastern Liguria. "We believe - explained the association - that having put the experience and professionalism into common heritage of the two operational structures has benefited both ports in equal measure, deliberately omitting to recall the investment opportunities arising from being part of of the Port Authority of the Eastern Ligurian Sea enjoyed from the port of Marina di Carrara. Further confirmation of the goodness of the choice made at the time, by its own admission of the mayor of Carrara, the local community is close to the approval of the Port Master Plan act planning that has been awaited for over 40 years. It cannot escape no one - the association further specified - that the increase in and the exit from the monoculture of marble was possible through close collaboration and osmosis between the two port realities and between entrepreneurs with points of contact and common interests that are much more frequent, also for geographical proximity, with respect to the reality of Livorno. What it cannot escape anyone who, speaking of Authority, port cannot be limited to considering only the activities related to the merchant port, but it must be expanded also to the nautical and construction activities of the super yacht. The provinces of La Spezia and Massa Carrara have seen the consolidation of the presence in both territories of the world leaders in the super construction sector yacht and would be illogical and certainly harmful to this important production sector to divide the two realities".

Finally, noting that "everyone must reason with a vision of economic and social development that does not look at the past but is looking to the future, considering the two ports as components of a a single vast area and as such must be governed, the association of industrialists concluded by reiterating that, "as far as concerns governance, Confindustria La Spezia firmly rejects the hypothesis of a division of the offices in a logic as the result of old partition logics, in how much professionalism is believed to be rewarded, the ability to vision, the deep knowledge of the territories interested parties and not belonging".
