Trasportounito nozzle the alarm for the lack of areas of pause for the Tir near the port of Genoa



The commercial operativity of the port of Genoa, its traffics and its industrial activities have and will continue to having a strong tie with the street transport any will be the development of railway infrastructures of connection of the harbour port of call with hinterland and the markets. The main market of the port of the capital of Liguria is placed to north in the Italian belt of territory enclosed between the Appennine chain and the slopes of the Alps: an area about of the longitudinal dimension of 150 kilometers and wide latitudinalmente not more of the double quantity. A territory to which, also in the next few years, the port of Genoa will continue to being connected via truck. The railroad - as many times over it is found also in European center - becomes competitive on advanced distances to the 300 kilometers. Under it wins the road haulage.

On the base of such and other considerations inforMARE has many times over found the necessity that the port of Genoa better is equipped in order to receive the camionistici flows, first of all equipping itself of a car park. Incredibly the institutions - before between all the Harbour Authority, continuation from the Municipality - have not been up to now in a position to preparing an area of pause for the trucks. One of the participations more necessary, but also simpler to put into effect, remains therefore to the pole.

If the port of Genoa needs a Third railway Pass in order to become more competitive on the long distances, necessary in order to reach farther markets, still more the port must have absolute necessity to safeguard its "Core business" that it is situated to medium-short distance, that is in the Po Plain, allowing with the road haulage to on citizenship make its job in efficient way and with the minor possible impact. Up to now the local authorities seem not to cure themselves excessive of the issue.

This deficiency of attention alarms Trasportounito. According to the association of the road haulage, in fact, more than than a problem, to Genoa that of the Tir is an emergency "that already today impatta in way negative on the operativity of the port and the road haulage and that it could produce devastating effects for the marine port of call, the city and for the traffic as the new infrastructural works will enter under construction in function or programmed".

In order to arouse once and for all the interest of the Trasportounito institutions it has sent a letter to the local authorities (to the mayor, Marco Doria, to the president of the Harbour Authority, Luigi Merlo, to the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Paolo Oddone. and to admiral Felicio Angrisano, commander of the Harbour office) speeding up "a urgent recognition on the spaces made unusable in the genoese territory, spaces that - it has found the association - could be destined to service of the road haulage and for the temporary pause of the industrial vehicles".

Moreover Trasportounito has proposed the subscription of an agreement of intransgressible program "that it confirms the univocal political will to install the car park to Cornigliano once and for all defining some the technical details (having as reference those producing from the study of prefeasibility realized from the Chamber of Commerce of Genoa) to insert in the town-planning instruments".

"The road haulage - Trasportounito has explained - shares the necessity to realize with urgency infrastructures which Gronda, the Saint node Benigno, the completion of the road to sea. But own these works upgrading the connections with the productive areas, will carry an increase of the vehicles and will provoke the collapse of the areas of directed interchange between port and road evidencing with dramatic consequences the lacked solution for time the relative problem to the requirements of functional areas to the operativity and pause of the road haulage. Today in fact - it has observed the association - the lack of spaces in Genoa, supplied of services for the haulers and their means, that pauses allow also, continues to generate operating limits to the camionistica activity in port, the removal risk and transported damaging of the goods, costs too much elevated (for the little existing stalls) regarding the economic abilities to the enterprises, situations of danger and enormous uneasiness to who it works on the trucks, a serious impact on the city practicability and the city traffic and a state of disorder in the bordering zones the harbour areas (in particular in the quarters of Sampierdarena, Saint Benigno and Voltri).

Trasportounito also has asked clarity on the project for the car park, in particular "on the choices and works preliminary to the predisposition of the area destined to accommodate it (former Ilva), above all now - it has specified the association - than the Ministry of Transportation could unblock 70 million in which the financings for the realization of the work re-enter also".

"The moment of the decisions - it has emphasized the regional coordinator of Trasportounito, Giuseppe Tagnochetti - is time, considered that it is being discussed about Communal Town-planning Plan and of Portuale Town development plan: a definitive logistic solution of the areas to assign to the organization of the pause of the vehicles must be indicated, as fundamental for an functional interaction between port and city and the potenziamento of the operating abilities to our port".
