For Paolo Pessina, president of the federation of agents
Italian maritime Federagenti, it is desirable to increase the
involvement of the world's major financial groups in the market
national logistics, ports and infrastructure made
possible with a change of pace and a regulatory framework and
that guarantees international investors. "The
speed with which international scenarios are changing
and the markets - he observed - it is now clearly
incompatible with the timing of bureaucracy and procedures
administrative elections, not to mention the crossed vetoes. In the next
months, and perhaps already in the coming weeks, even our
logistics and port system will face stress
which have no historical precedent and which cannot be reconciled with the
rigidity, not only Italian, but also EU, in terms of
Funding and priorities in the implementation of major
Infrastructure. A real
revolution that will allow international private investors to
find fertile ground in Italy".
Pessina pointed out that "the perception that the large
control of world trade, as well as
resources in terms of raw materials, are played on a chessboard
is also igniting for big international finance the
spotlight on the logistics sector, ports and large
transport infrastructure. But to translate this interest into
concrete facts, in project finance, in investments -
said the president of Federagenti - the Country System must
guarantee certainty of times and rules, as well as zero
administrative and judicial risks and elimination of positions
of monopoly in the control of the networks".
"The intervention of Blackrock, in partnership with one of the
largest container groups in the world. and therefore the purchase of almost 50
strategic terminals - concluded Pessina referring to the recent
Agreement for the acquisition of 80% of Hutchison Ports by
of the U.S. Investment Company and the
terminal operator TiL
(

March 2025) - shows that the resources to invest in this
sector and make it make the leap in quality exist.
They also exist in the European banking and financial system and
Italian. But no time can be wasted and the State must
to provide the international financial community with a
A clear message also by changing course on profitability
of major works and on the return on investment times, for example
example through that pay-per-use formula, which is
is very popular today in Anglo-Saxon countries, but which, let us not forget,
has allowed Italy, the first in Europe, to equip itself with a network
motorway".
