 Today in the port of Livorno Livorno was inaugurated Reefer Terminal (LRT), the new logistics center of the airport dedicated to the handling of food products refrigerated and which is attended by the Group Livorno Port Company (CPL), the Agri-Food Brokers, Reunion, Group Baccini Fruit and real estate company Fondiaria Saffi.
- The terminal occupies an area of 36,000 square meters with a floor area of 12,000 square feet refrigerated. The wharf has a development of 360 meters and the estimated maximum operational capacity of the terminal is 400,000 tons of goods per year, with an initial forecast of 100,000 tons.
- During the ceremony the President of the Tuscany Region, Enrico Rossi, said that the work inaugurated "is the first step in the direction of the revival."The governor appealed to the Tuscan institutional and social forces and then to the entire city to make commitments in chorus to win the challenge of competitiveness of the port, "it's up to you - Rossi said - this challenge on the domestic and international markets. Toward this goal, we will always at your side. "
- Rossi said that the main measures taken last year by the Tuscan regional labronico for the revival of the port, "our policy - he said - in fact it is written. At the next Regional Council will take a variation to the budget of 10 million for the dredging of the harbor. And the timing of implementation will be rapid: I know that the Port Authority has already in practice for the allocation of work. I also recall that there are additional 51 million euros for the safety of the spillway of the Arno. So things are moving in the right direction. "
- Referring then to the appeals of workers and representatives of companies that in recent days have turned the region, the governor said that "in appeals and invectives that I read it calls for more dynamism, more thrust, more charged. The theme - he added - seems clear: it is to raise their productivity and competitiveness of the port.This is a subject on which we are already working (we are the only Region that invest so many resources for a port), but that needs to be strengthened with a pact between the social forces and institutions primarily local. We, once again, faced with a proposal that would flow from this covenant, there tireremmo back but we would do our part and more. "
- Smith reiterated that the attention given by the chair towards the port, "the region - he explained - has allocated funding and attention towards the port of Livorno because it considers critical to the future of the entire region. With the port of Livorno we can try to build an infrastructure that makes a central region of Tuscany in the movement of people and goods. In this framework are important rail links (we are working with FS to make connections to the north east of Italy and northern Europe) and it is important to complete the Tyrrhenian. A fact that was reported is in fact the lack of relationship between the port of Livorno and Lazio, and in particular the metropolitan area of Rome. Few goods from Livorno have to target that area.The realization of the Tyrrhenian could help a lot this north-south: the completion of this corridor to Europe would undoubtedly central to the port of Livorno. I will not spend another ten years to discuss this. "
