In the 2011 in Italy added value produced from the economy of the sea it has been of beyond 41 billion euros
The incidence on the total of the national economy is pairs to 2.9%. The field counts beyond 210 thousand companies with 800 thousand occupied
April 22, 2013

In spite of the crisis, in the period the 2009-2011 economy of the sea has given important signs of estate is under the occupational profile is under that entrepreneurial one. It evidences according to Relationship on the Economy of the Sea, realized from Unioncamere with the technical contribution of CamCom-Universitas Mercatorum, than photographer the contribution of "the blue" section of the Italian economy to the production of wealth and occupation. The document is introduced today to Gaeta, in the within of the sixth edition of the Med Festival Yacht, in occasion of the first edition of States general of the Chambers of Commerce on the economy of the sea promoted from Unioncamere in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce of Latina.

The relationship emphasizes as in period 2009-2011, on the front of the job, the section of the economy of the sea quite has moved in controtendenza regarding the complex of the economy: against the loss total in the period of 97.000 places of job (- 0.4%), the economy of the sea has made to mark an estimated increment of 11.000 units (+1.4%), with a remarkable impulse deriving from the activities of search and to a lesser degree from the tourist member. Sul forehead of the enterprises, instead, in the three years the 2010-2012 entrepreneurial woven one (constituted gives about 210 thousand enterprises) is increased almost 7,000 units, to a rhythm therefore of 3.4%, decidedly advanced to 0.1% observed for the total of the economy economy.

"The economy of the sea - the president of Unioncamere has commented, Ferruccio Dardanello - is as a "blue heart" that it pulsates to the bottom of the productive system of the Country. Extraordinary a strategic resource that in these years of crisis it has continued to beat also to faster rhythms regarding the remainder of the economy. We have the duty to favour and to feed this heartbeat in order to support the territories and to help Italy to find again the distance of the increase. The camerale system, with States general dedicated to the economy of the sea, has collected an important challenge on whose it is engaged to place side by side the world of the enterprises and the associations and working with the other institutions in order to strengthen a piece of national the economic woven one that is fundamental for the innovation and the sustainability of our model of development".

The relationship finds moreover that in the 2011 contribution to the added value produced in Italy from the riconducibili rows to the economy of the sea it piled almost 41,3 billion euros, with an incidence on the total of the ability to produce wealth of 2.9%: almost the double quantity than produced from the section of the textile one, apparel and skins (21 billion) or of the telecommunications (22 billion), and almost the triple one of that of the wood, paper and publishing (little less than 15 billion). The more meaningful quota (45% of the total, correspondent little less than 19 billion), must to the more traditional fields: first of all those of shipbuilding and the transports of goods and people (with an incidence between the 15 and 16% everyone, around 6,5 billion), followed from those of the ittica row and the extractive industry navy (around 6-7% everyone, pairs to 2,5-3 billion). Little less than a third party (beyond 15 billion euros), one refers to the bound activities to tourism - adding the activities of lodging and catering to those recreational sportswomen and - which 37% of the added value created from the section must at a distance follow from a segment of the so-called "advanced terziario" - represented from the search, regulation and environmental protection - that altogether contributes almost a fifth of the wealth produced from the economic system legacy to sea (18% that is more than 7 billion euros); a data - specific the relationship - that evidences the potentialities of this slice of the Italian productive system in terms of innovation and contribution to the safeguard of the natural patrimony.

From the occupational point of view, the almost 800 thousand workers employed in the economy of the sea represent 3.2% of the total occupation of the Country, advanced of 200 thousand unit to that of the entire field formed from not metalliferous chemistry, pharmaceutics, rubber, and mineral plastics (600 thousand occupied; 2.4% of the total economy), and 160 thousand in more regarding that of the financial services and insurance (about 640 thousand unit, pairs to 2.6% of the occupied totals). Inside of the economy of the sea, the occupied ones are distributed between the fields in way completely similar to the added value, with a strong incidence of the receptive activities and the catering, since they employ little more than a third party of the total occupation of section (36%, pairs almost 287 thousand workers, a consisting part of which to seasonal character); they follow, for occupational dimension, shipbuilding (17%, little more than 135 thousand occupied), ittica row (12%, little more than 95 thousand occupied) and recreational sport activities and (8% pairs more than 61 thousand occupied).

The strong marine connotation of the southern regions does so as that the economy of the Italian sea concentrates own in Center-South (60% of added value and occupied 64% mostly in terms of), graces above all to the centrality that assumes in some regions as the Latium, the Sicily, the Campania and the Apulia (with, these four regions cover about 40% of the added value of national the marine economy and 43% of the generated occupied ones from the section). Al Nord the pulling ahead regions are instead three - the Liguria on all, continuation from Lombardy and from Veneto - than entirety approximately absorb a quarter of wealth and ascribable occupation to the activities connected to sea (respective 26 and 23% of the national total). In terms of territorial development, the data show as between the regions single in Liguria the produced added value of the economy of the sea affects for beyond the ten percent regional economy (11.9%). Between the provinces, the greater incidence is found to Livorno, where 15.7% of the added value of the territory have had to the economy of the sea.

With respect to the entrepreneurial structure of the section, at the end of the 2012 - on the base of the data of the Registry of the enterprises of the Chambers of Commerce - perimeter of the economy of the sea it enclosed almost 211 thousand enterprises (pairs to 3.5% of the national total). In absolute terms, the greater number of enterprises that rotate around the economy of the sea are concentrated in the section of tourism, (96,547 activities, 45.8% of the total) as sum of the services of lodging and catering (67,178) and of recreational sport activities and (29,369). Al according to place follows the ittica row (41,633 companies, 19.7% of the section), continuation from that of shipbuilding (the 32,130, pairs to 15.2% of "the blue" economy).

The relationship evidences at last as the economy of the sea does not exhaust its effects in the activities that re-enter directly in the perimeter of the fields that define it and as between its characteristics there is in fact that to be able to activate indirectly, upstream and to valley of the row, ulterior effects on the economic system, to confirmation of its strategic importance above all in key of throw again of the Country. Pack-saddles to think that for every euro produced from this field others are activated some 1,9 in the remainder of the economy. In absolute values this means that, with reference to 2011, 41,3 billion the added value produced from the activities directly tied to the sea in the 2011 have made reply other 77 billion euros activated on the remainder of the economy. As saying that, in the taken period to reference, the entire row has generated added value 118 billion euros, pairs to 8.4% of the total economy. Analyzing this ability in the detail of the single fields, the section is discovered that it can boast the highest coefficient than activation is that of the transport goods and passengers, thanks to a multiplier pairs to 2,9 such for which to 6,4 billion the added value directly produced in the 2011 they have corresponded more than 18 activated, for a total almost 25 billion euros (beyond fifth of the entire row of the sea).
