- Grendi The group urges the Port Authority of Genoa to check the business plans of the terminals in order to free areas
- The company, on the eve of eviction from Ponte Libya hopes for a further extension of the concession with the use of Article 45 bis of the Navigation Act or paragraph 9 of Article 18 of Law 84/94
 The shipping group and the terminal will Grendi runs the serious risk of having to immediately leave the port of Genoa and of not finding a landing in the short-term alternative to its regular shipping line with the port of Cagliari.
- Tomorrow will end its concession to the terminal Genoese Bridge Libya and so far have not been successful negotiations that led the group to make space in areas managed by other terminals in Genoa, including those held with the Fruit Terminal, which operates as in Grendi 'Sampierdarena port area, with the VTE, which operates the terminal area Voltri, with the group Spinelli, who has participated Grendi (loss) for the award of the tender within which falls Terminal Multipurpose Bridge Libya and with the same rope-Gavio Messina, who won the race for the Multipurpose and pressing to settle the area (
 of 1 June 2010).
- After traveling many roads to reach agreement with other operators, the group Grendi not remain that small leeway that the company has shown to the press this morning which showed that, with its exit from the port, Genoa lose a 'enterprise with traffic of 100,000 TEUs per year, with 120 employees including 35 in Italy in Genoa, with two ships and 60 people on board in rotation, with 200 people and led to Genoa with 200 times a year in the port of Genoa which mean work for pilots, tugs and mooring.
- An alternative to allow the group to stay in Genoa, according Grendi, there would be. Or rather, there would be two. The Port Authority could decide to extend the grant again, but street - has repeatedly reaffirmed the authority of Palazzo San Giorgio - is no longer viable, or at least could ensure continuity of the group Grendi Bridge Libya using Article 45 a of the Navigation Act ("Submissions to others of the activities covered by the grant"), under which "the concessionaire, in exceptional circumstances and for specified periods, with the approval of the competent authority may entrust to others the management of secondary activities under the concession. " In such a case should be the new dealer, and not the Port Authority, to deliver to Grendi management area, but in this case - according to the vertices of Grendi - the port authority could play a crucial role promoting the expectations.
- The second alternative - the second Grendi - would be to review by the Port Authority of what companies deserve to manage areas of the airport assessing the volume of traffic handled and the employment generated.In that case - for Grendi - would free areas with the use of paragraph 9 of Article 18 of Law No port reform 84 of 1994 which states that "in case of failure to comply with the obligations assumed by the concessionaire, as well as failure to achieve the objectives set out in the work program, referred to in paragraph 6, letter a), without justification, the Authority port or, if not established, the Maritime Authority withdraw the concession act. "
- My child can control the protest if the diary, but I have a duty to do so. This is roughly the replica Constance Musso, commercial director of the group Grendi, when we remembered the uproar of the Genoa port terminals when the former president of the Port Authority of Genoa, John Novi, predicted a control business plans of companies in the port.
- The answer Constance Musso summarizes what his company believes that the current management of the Port Authority of Genoa, led by president Luigi Merlo, should resolve to do against the terminal: start to check the business plans submitted by the various company to verify precisely where the volume of traffic handled by each terminal, which operates on public lands, are congruent with the location and extent of the port concession.
- "The port - the statement of the recalls Grendi given to journalists - is a state-owned asset that is given in concession to private individuals on the basis of business plans. If you do not monitor the plans of business leading to the inefficiency of the system and the race for real estate speculation of large groups. "
 - The risk - have confirmed Costanza and his brother, Eugene Musso, group administrator Grendi - is that "investment in the terminal to become real estate investments." According to the two Musso - "there is a rush to grab square meters of port which obviously have a value, but then not used for new traffic."
- Eugene Musso explained that the Port Authority has confirmed its intention to conduct such inspections, but indicated that in the meantime, however, is forced to assign the race of the Multipurpose. "The Port Authority - has accused Constance Musso - not only must the notary." The criticism of the group Grendi against the Port Authority has failed to ascertain the business plans before assigning the terminal: if "he first monitored and then assigned - Grendi seconds - you would've noticed that those who assign a new terminal in Port of Genoa are the same as failing to meet the business plans of their old terminal. It is as if a bank provided a loan first, and only after you have paid to go and see if the beneficiary has been in previous payments on time. "
- The charge - heavy - it does not know or want to better manage the port areas of the most profitable of Italy. The average yield in the area - said Constance Musso - For example, 4-container TEUs per square meter in the port of La Spezia and Genoa is only 1.2 TEUs per square meter (1.4 teu before the crisis).Musso I have emphasized, instead, because the nature of its traffic consisting of a line of cabotage which controls the entire supply chain, the group Grendi be able to make significant numbers in areas with small yields per square meter that are at least double (2.6 TEU), but in some periods even quadruple (4.4 TEUs per square meter in English Calata Ignatius in 2008 in a terminal of 18,000 square meters) compared to current yields of the port of Genoa. They also noted that Grendi during the crisis years, with a concession in Genoa the term of which was four months, he has continued to grow traffic (+27% from 2007 to 2010), investments (33 million investment in the business same period) and employment (+30% in the same period).
- The possibility that Grendi close its doors in Genoa is at hand. "From June 16 - Eugene Musso confirmed - could get the yellow flame to seize everything." So far, the group was unable to find alternative areas inside and outside the port of Genoa, also because of the difficulty of finding space and run it as a company terminal operator, "we - said Constance Musso - we can not be customers. With a single line we have to check both the airport of departure and the arrival airport. "
- The risk is also - and Eugene Musso showed Constance - the freight to Sardinia, already largely gravitating to Livorno, the Tuscan port moves completely in the absence of a reliable port of Genoa.
- Two months ago, the Liguria Regional Administrative Court rejected the appeals filed by the groups and Grendi Spinelli about the allocation of the consortium Multipurpose Messina-Gavio ( of 22 April 2011). Costanza and Eugene Musso confirmed that their company has not yet filed an appeal against this ruling at the Council of State.
