Assosped Venezia, the association that represents the Venice Expedition, and Asamar Veneto, the association of agents shipping agents and brokers of the Veneto region, both founded In 1946, next Friday they will celebrate their 80th anniversary activities with a conference that will be the highlight of the party. Friday afternoon at the NH Conference Hall Collection Murano, the two associations will tell their story, but above all they think about the future of the port of Venice with a event which will be attended, among many others, by the president of the Region, Alberto Stefani, the mayor of Venice, Simone Venturini, the president of the Port System Authority of the Sea Northern Adriatic, Matteo Gasparato, the national president of Confetra, Carlo De Ruvo, the president of Fedespedi, Alessandro Pitto, and that of Federagenti, Paolo Pessina, as well as of course the hosts, Michele Gallo, president of Asamar Veneto and Andrea Ormesani, president of Assosped Venezia. The theme of the meeting will be "The Smart Port and the logistics system of the next future".

Presenting and anticipating the themes of the conference, Andrea Ormesani highlighted that "Venice is certainly a port particular for the characteristics that we all know: the Mose, the lagoon and Venice, a Unesco World Heritage Site. But it is also a fundamental and inseparable part of history and identity of this city. Today it has enormous potential and if there is the will of all, it can become The incubator of the port model of the future. A port for working well - he noted - needs to be at the center of a articulated but complete logistics system. Around us we have the airport, the freight village, good road and rail connections and the Porto Marghera area which is ideal for developing a efficient inland port. And moreover, Venice is among the few ports that can handle any type of traffic, from containers to bulk cargo, up to project cargo, that of very large loads such as elements of refineries or industrial cranes, and to the new opportunities in pharmaceutical and automotive logistics. It is necessary - underlined the president of Assosped Venezia - investing in innovation starting first and foremost from a total digitization and push of operations. Something is has already been done, the Customs in Venice, for example, has was recognized as the fastest among the Italian and we have activated the VPCS, the Venice Port Community System, which allows you to interface all the subjects participating in the operations. But this is worth 5% of what could be done truly digitizing operations. There are ports abroad where Those who operate the cranes do so safely and comfortably remotely in a control room that looks like a video game room, and allows you to automate all repetitive operations."

Michele Gallo focused on a critical issue, that of the draught limited by two factors: the barriers of the Mose and In some cases the lack of dredging of port canals: "We have to take note - said the president of Asamar Veneto - that the larger ships will no longer be able to enter the lagoon and that we need to take up the proposed offshore port project again years ago by Professor Paolo Costa. We would have fewer ships in the lagoon and we could climb the larger ones here too. In my opinion notice, also to overcome the landscape objections that in a place like this are understandable, the connection with the port on the mainland should be built not with a bridge but with a tunnel under the lagoon. And to those who say that it is a science fiction hypothesis I answer that all over the world there are carry out complex infrastructure works to safeguard the country's economy: India - specified Gallo - has just 2,700 km of railways dedicated exclusively to freight connections between its ports. We must have the courage to propose solutions that have a long breath and do not only look at to the very near future because with offshore we could pass, as far as container traffic is concerned, from 600,000 TEU/year to 2.5 million TEU/year".
