transfer of the load-bearing structures, weighing about 1,200
tons, of two large gantry cranes on rails that were
unused for six years for civil and criminal litigation. The

Oriental, while cranes in commercial ports generally
belong to port companies and not to administrations
commenting on the transfer of lifting equipment, the
president of the port authority, Francesco Di Sarcina, underlined
that it is "a decisive step since they posed
to water and wind for too long and had become a symbol of
Carelessness. Once this work was finished, however, - he pointed out
- can be considered an example of good administration and
redemption-relaunch of the Augustan port for their precious use".
