Companies in our sector are facing a moment extremely complex history, marked by geopolitical tensions that are generating a significant increase in energy costs and fuels, with direct effects on the entire logistics chain and final prices for businesses, families and citizens. He emphasized this Guido Grimaldi, president of the Logistics Association of Sustainable Intermodality (ALIS), commented on the work of the Council of Members of the Organization held today at the headquarters of the national team in Rome.

«The critical issues related to navigation in some strategic areas such as the Strait of Hormuz - Grimaldi noted - are leading to increases in sea freight rates, premiums and operating costs, with an impact that extends to all modes of transport. Although he had expressed appreciation for the emergency measures adopted by the Government in support for the sector in response to market crises including the reduction of excise duties on fuels and the tax credit for road haulage companies, however, we hear the need to emphasise the need to broaden the support for a sector considered economically and socially strategic strategy, as well as to further strengthen the of support and compensation".

"There is in fact a real risk - he continued Grimaldi - that the economic stability of the country is compromised and, for the To be even clearer, there is a risk of paralysis of a sector that cannot simultaneously support uncontrolled increases in costs resulting from the situation and European taxation such as the ETS. I recall that the RINA estimates indicate an economic impact of the ETS on the European naval fleet equal to 5.7 billion in 2025 and over 8.2 billion in 2026, to which add the costs of FuelEU. We therefore hope that the EU will reach the the revision of this directive within the deadline of July that has been indicated and, at the same time, that of our government increased the resources for Sea incentives Modal Shift and Ferrobonus, bringing them to 150 million euros per year. In addition, we hope that the proceeds of the ETS will be reinvested in the sector, i.e. intended for those who work in intermodality thus responding to the principle that "this that comes from the sea, returns to the sea", in order to feed a virtuous and sustainable circle".
