In the 2012 crocieristico traffic in the Italian ports it will diminish light to 10,8 million passengers



For 2012 in the Italian ports a crocieristico traffic of 10.748.000 passengers is attended altogether, volume that represents a bending of 0.8% regarding last year but that confirmation Italy which more important European destination in the field of the cruises. The forecast is of marine agency and tourist Cemar Agency Network and is illustrated this morning by the genoese president of the company, Sergio Senesi, to the Seatrade Cruise Shipping in development to Miami.

This year the traffic almost 10,8 million passengers will be realized with 4.891 landings place of cruise ships in the Italian harbour ports of call, with a decrease of 5.6% regarding 2011; an insignificant decrease that of the passengers - it has found Sienese - seen the trend of increase of the past years (+17% solo in 2011), the been necessary incidents in recent months and, above all, lasting of the serious total economic situation.

Civitavecchia will confirm the main Italian crocieristico port also in 2012 with 2.420.000 passengers enlivened, continuation from Venice (1.798.000 pax) and Naples (1.207.000 pax) that, entirety, manages beyond 50% of national the crocieristico traffic. Al fourth place still the port of Livorno, than for the first time will exceed the million passengers. To follow, the ports of Savona, Genoa, Bari, Messina, Palermo, Catania, Salerno, Olbia and Cagliari.

Crocieristica season 2012 will involve 47 companies of navigation, 148 ships and 66 Italian ports, than, in peak season, will mean a handling fleeting pairs to beyond 75.000 units to the day.

"The crocieristico market - Sergio Senesi has declared - confirmation own solidity and the appeal always, in spite of the unfavorable economic contingency and the recent accadimenti We have, moreover, intentional express to carry out of the ulterior verifications and a first analysis of season 2013 allows to assume us an imminent return to the increase, graces above all to the new units that will be delivered, after this season of substantial arrangement, it is in terms of handling fleeting that of landings place".

"In spite of everything, but - it has continued Sienese - it is necessary to make attention to the foreign competition more and more aiming for the improvement of the relationship quality/price of the services distributed in our ports if we do not want that some found phenomena become advances of an imminent truth. We assist, in fact, to a slow decrement of the Italian ports of call by companies which Stars Clippers, Windstar, Seabourn, Sea Dream that with their ships from 100-300 passengers prefer other destinations".

According to Cemar, therefore, the challenge for the Italian ports is therefore determining: to demonstrate technical and operating maturity. "Own for this - it has explained Sienese - we ask the ports to begin a programming of approaches based on the real possibilities, to create more transparent, useful instruments to the coordination and monitoring of the reservations of the docks, what relatively simple with the modern technologies and Internet. It could be a solution in order to exceed the structural limits legacies to docks and quality of the earth services".

Between the elements of inadequacy of the Italian ports - it has found - figure also the collection of the refusals: "it is sad to have to signal, for the umpteenth time - it has evidenced Sienese - as in almost all the Italian ports still has not been provided to differentiated digestion of the refusals. The ships are constructed with the best technologies, the staff are trained to the differentiated collection, in the cabins are separate even containers. We are speaking about tons of produced refusals every day from ships that, once arrived in the Italian ports, often are forced to unload all in an only lighter or container, because in the port the differentiated collection does not exist. This involves, among other things, serious costs for the edge that arrives, so, to pay sums until 200 euros to ton for digestion of glass, wood, cardboard and aluminum".

"We find, also - it has concluded the president of Cemar - the increasing, constant succeeded collected from the systems of reservation cruises online to which the users address with always greater frequency and informality".
