UCINA, the field of the nautical exhibition resumption signs
Convention to Livorno on the fallen back ones of the section on the territory
April 28, 2015

UCINA Nautical Confindustria has announced to have found signs of resumption for the field of the nautical one. The first data available of the new edition of the "Nautical one in Figures", research work on the course of the market and the shipbuilding Italian for the diporto - it has explained the association - are positive. Turnover 2014 of the nautical industry is attested to 2,5 billion euros, with an increase of 2.1% regarding 2013. The best performance is recorded by the field of the accessories, that they mark a positive sign of 3.1%. It improves also the occupation with the increase of a point percentage. The trend - it has specified UCINA - is confirmed by the supplied data of the nautical leasing from Assilea, that they declare an increase of 15.4% in the 2014 regarding the year precedence and an increment of 30% in the first trimester of the year in course.

"The nautical production - it has clarified Stefano Pagani Isnardi of the Office Studies of UCINA - shows resumption signs, for the moment entirely determined from the export. Shipbuilding, the pulling ahead field of the production, in 2014 has marked an increment of 1.9% regarding 2013. The increase of the field derives from the increase of 2.7% of the exports, while the domestic market (Italian production sold in Italy more the imports) is come down of 6.2%". UCINA has specified that the quota production of unit from diporto destined to the foreign markets remains stable on the values record of the year precedence, 93%. Sottocomparto of the accessories and the members it records an increase of 3.1% in 2014 regarding 2013. The increase, considered the stability of Italian production (+0.2%) - it has found the association - is ascribable entirely to the imports, that they go up of 13.3%.

Positive, moreover, the data leasing I am diffused by Assilea: in the first 90 days of the 2015 they are doubled is the number of the new stipule, it is the value of the sums distributed regarding the same period last year (than for the new units it is worth about 15% of increase on the equivalent period of 2014) and is this - it has observed UCINA - the sign that indicates a resumption of the home market, not legible in the relative data per year slid. To signal also that in the period January-March the leasing number has grown in meaningful way on used unit, that they have exceeded 50% of the total of new contracts, had to digestion of the rinveniente stock from stranded contracts, accumulated in the years of the crisis.

Regarding the markets foreign countries - moreover UCINA has announced - it is continued to record a heavy fragmentation. The USA already in the 2013 had given resumption signs that totally are confirmed. This partially compensates the slow down of China, Brazil and Russia, all in braked, however for various reasons. In the EU the situation is heterogenous. Positive signs are recorded in Spain and Great Britain, except marked in France, where, during the crisis, the contraction of the question has not been so strong.

Those relative ones to the nautical Italian, have observed the president of UCINA, Carla Demaria, "they are given comforting that arrive after very difficult years and during the first trimester of the 2015 I am in ulterior improvement. We resume confidence in the future and - it has continued Demaria - the association wants to renew itself in order to answer better to the new requirements of the market and its associates. For this reason in extraordinarily reduced times we will subject to the ballot of the assembly the modifications to the charter of our association, in full performance of the reform of Confindustria. We will be more effective and at the same time the nautical row will be guaranteed the maximum rappresentatività of all".

While to Livorno the impact generated from the nautical one has been estimated on the territory in the course of an organized convention this morning to the Tuttovela Village from the Harbour Authority of Livorno and, in particular, from the direction Promotion and Studies that for a long time, with the project of opening of the port to the city Opened Port, promote initiatives on a delicate topic as that of the juvenile occupation in harbour within. "Draft - the leader of the livornese Harbour Authority has explained in opening, Gabriele Gargiulo - of a day's work that as Port Authority we have intentional to dedicate to the activities of yachting and refitting. The field is known by little, but it covers a strategic importance for the city".

An importance that the director of Lusben, Paolo Simoncini, has tried to quantify, supplying given and numbers: "from 2009 - it has remembered - we are you anticipate to Livorno as brand of Benetti Azimut and we take care of activity not only connected to the shipbuilding one, but also to the customer dear, that is the acceptance of those tens of crews that on board work of a boat and that in free time, when the ship is in repair from we, would want to be able to spend what they earn". Draft - it has emphasized commander Luca Mosca, of the Association Yacht Master, been born in order to promote the Italian commanders in the world - of expenses not of modest entity: "the staff of the yachts - he has specified - has an ability to enormous expense. The salary minimal salary of a member of the crew is gone around around the 2,500 euros to the month, until to arrive to 10 thousand euros salaries for the apex figures. The budget of a crew goes from a minim of 600 thousand euros until to a million euro. Draft generally of foreign staff whom it gladly spends for own well-being".

In the course of the encounter it has been discussed also about the modalities in order to return more pleasant and receptive Livorno regarding the nautical activities. "Considering that every winter we receive for activity of ordinary or extraordinary maintenance a group of forty of boats of advanced dimensions also to the 50 meters - the director of Lusben has asserted, Simoncini - I do not have difficulty to say that annually they pause in the city, for about 5-6 months, very 600 people. But to Livorno devoted structures to the acceptance lack these crews". "In this moment - Yacht has remembered Daniele Ferrari of the Marine Agency Management and Consulting - outside from here, to dock 76 of the outer harbor the Maryah is berthed, giga an yacht from 122 meters that job to 45 people gives currently. The potentialities of Livorno are enormous, could here reply the entrepreneurial model that it has made the success of Costa Azzurra".

According to the relatori presents to the convention, the Four city of Mori has in fact all papers in order in order to become summery goal of the cruising of mega and giga yacht: an enviable geographic position, you space only dedicated to the activities of refit and repair, the vicinity to the cities of art, the eno-culinary zones of the Chianti and to the Airport of Pisa is strengths of Livorno. But because the future one is truly rose-colored it is necessary that the city implements own receptive structures. At the end the message has been this that the relatori of the workshop have addressed directly to the public administration. "To my judgment - it has been the reflection of the president of the Harbour Authority of Livorno, Giuliano Gallanti - private public bodies and subjects must begin to work in synergy and to converse truly. The carried out activities of refitting from the Lusben create inducing that it cannot be underrated. Livorno must return to acquire a strategic role. The deficiency of hospitality goes overwhelmed quickly".

An idea has been launch from the same harbour authority for voice of the leader Gabriele Gargiulo: "I would want to use this workshop - it has announced - in order to make a proposal: as Harbour Authority we are available to open a table of job with the Municipality of Livorno and the Lusben, to the aim to examine and to resolve the criticalities that still today they prevent to this field to develop itself totally. We do not lose other time - it has concluded - the city needs answers".
