Para competir, la logística italiana, Génova y su puerto deben apuntar para el aumento de la capacidad de producción y la eficiencia de las terminales y los servicios marítimos-portuarios y la tecnología de la
Spediport pide al gobierno que planifique la creación de la Zona Económica Especial también en los puertos del noroeste y del noreste de Italia
April 6, 2017

Detrás de cada problema hay una oportunidad. Los transitarios genoveses citan a Galileo Galilei para enmarcar el momento actual a través del sector del transporte, la logística y el transporte marítimo. Es deseable que haya tantas oportunidades detrás de muchos problemas. Porque es realmente muchos de los problemas con los que la categoría se compara y el consejo de gobierno de la Asociación de Corrieri y Transporter de Génova (Spediporto) ha enumerado en su informe que fue presentado hoy por el el presidente Alessandro Pitto en la asamblea pública de la asociación que se celebró en la Bolsa de Valores de Palazzo della en Génova.

Un sector, el más general del transporte marítimo, se ha visto perjudicado "por profundas transformaciones, crisis financieras agudas" y una industria " todavía en cierto sentido de la identidad después del fracaso, o el límite, de la cultura de la "gigantismo naval" ". "Está devorando la rentabilidad de la gran parte de las compañías navieras, amenazando su existencia y subvirtiendo los ya precarios equilibrios", dijo. Y, sin embargo, a pesar de las señales ya claras, todas las principales compañías navieras están ahora en un desafío perenne que tiene en el precio (nolo) su principal ventaja competitiva y en la producción de barcos cada vez más grandes ", dijo. su natural, lo "ilógico", consecuencia. "

"Se debe pedir a la naviera que tome las contramedidas necesarias contra un fenómeno que ha contribuido a hoy: el impulso hacia el aumento de las fusiones y adquisiciones" fenómenos de peso. reincidencia del empleo a nivel mundial; este es un caso del informe de Spediporto mencionando las operaciones de concentración que en Italia, y especialmente en Génova, han tenido y tendrá un impacto significativo principalmente en las agencias marítimo, pero también en las casas de envío y todo el sector de la logística-el fusión entre COSCO y CSCL, la fusión prevista de UASC en Hapag-Lloyd, la de APL de CMA CGM, de Hamburg Süd de Maersk, la fusión anunciada entre NYK, "K" Line y MOL, rumores de posible fusión entre los dos taiwaneses Evergreen y Yang Ming ". A estas concentraciones el impacto del cese de los servicios marítimos y la crisis o el fracaso de las navieras, primero entre toda la grieta en Hanjin Shipping que ha sido, se ha añadido, "el equivalente de" el equivalente de "el equivalente del" por el envío del caso Lehman Brothers " y que ha tenido repercusiones a nivel mundial también golpeó a Génova duro como la sede de la agencia marítima que representa a la empresa de Corea del Sur en Italia.

Además, se espera que la industria naviera tome contramedidas con el fin de cambiar de dirección a un camino que ha llevado "al exceso de capacidad, lo que, en un periodo de descenso de la demanda, se ha traducido en un" disminución significativa de noli, que conduce, en algunos casos, a la aplicación de noli negativo ", que ha sido un concurso" para socavar el equilibrio de gestión de las compañías navieras ", con una creciente necesidad de inversión que, combinado con la caída de noli, tiene ayudó a determinar la situación de grave desequilibrio económico-financiero ", y que tiene contribuyó "a verter en los puertos y operadores de terminales grandes inversiones y costes que deben ser necesariamente recuperados y que serían cero, desde el lado de la mercancía, los beneficios sólo teóricos de noli cada vez más bajos".

Un cambio profundo, sin embargo, está en su lugar no sólo en el mar. "Las finanzas del mar están pasando a la tierra", dijo Pitto. La inversión de los servicios relacionados con los servicios a la nave y la productividad ha convertido el sector del terminalismo intensivo en capital de trabajo en unos pocos años, como ya ha sido el caso en el sector del transporte marítimo donde-los datos Confitarma-el 80% de las compañías navieras está en manos de los bancos y de los fondos de inversión ".

Esto también está sucediendo en la capital de Liguria: "no es un caso que los lunares genoveses hablen cada vez menos" Genovese "y más y más" inglés ". Para empezar era el grupo Steinweg con la entrada en la capital de Génova Metal Terminal; para dar seguimiento al acuerdo entre ICON Infrastructure y el Grupo Spinelli, a Marinvest (MSC) participante en el consorcio Bettolo y, más recientemente, al MOU para la adquisición del 49% del Grupo Messina y, de nuevo, a la venta del 95% de la terminal SECH a los fondos Infracapital e Infravia. "

Estos son los problemas y las consiguientes reacciones del mercado. Pero, ¿cuáles son las oportunidades? Según Spediporto, el escenario es " de gran interés, aunque en algunos aspectos está vinculado a la inquietante competencia. Junto con los scales elegidos por las compañías navieras, que ven las recompensas de los otros puertos ligure entre otros, la asociación de los transitarios genoveses-todo el territorio más grave en el puerto será sin duda "tierra intensiva", pero en el al mismo tiempo podrá esperar recibir un impresionante aumento del PIB y del empleo. De hecho, la asociación-para la asociación-un marco de gran interés para los scales que serán capaces de comprender el desafío lanzado por las transformaciones de época que se han descrito aquí y tendrán, a pesar de todo, la oportunidad de aumentar el empleo y el valor añadido en favor de su propio territorio ".

Para Spediporto, las "claves para competir" son: "mayor capacidad de producción del componente terminalista, la eficiencia de los servicios marítimos y la tecnología de la información". La asociación advirtió, sin embargo, del peligro de dirigir esfuerzos exclusivamente para satisfacer las necesidades de los grandes portacontenedores y centrarse únicamente en la consiguiente necesidad de equipar los puertos para estos buques: " El error más fácil en el que caer es el vinculado al hecho de que un sistema económico puede ser orientado, monotemáticamente, en un único objetivo. Sería grave-aclaró-limitar el potencial de la escala de Genovese o el territorio recompensado en la experiencia del Sistema Portuario del Mar de Liguria Occidental a las necesidades únicas del gigantismo naval. De hecho, hay fenómenos como el reabastecimiento y la logística de los marketplaces-que están llevando a acortar la cadena logística, más cerca de los mercados de consumo, y a personalizar, casi a exasperación, el servicio al cliente. Es exactamente lo contrario-señaló-de la visión logística de las compañías navieras que ven el transporte de Asia-Europa o transpacific que se caracteriza por el cada vez más grande, cada vez más lento y cada vez más impersonal "naves de almacén".

"Es el choque entre dos modelos de negocios diametralmente opuestos donde los números, hasta la fecha, están comentando por su cuenta", dijo Pitto. El comercio electrónico y el componente del mercado se jacta hoy de que la industria del transporte marítimo, así como las economías tradicionales, sólo pueden soñar. La facturación global del comercio electrónico marcó con más de 1.895 millones de euros un 23,3% por ciento en 2014, un 19,9% por ciento en 2015 con 2.273 millones de euros y un 17,5% en 2016 con 2.671 millones de euros ".

Señalando que "el comercio internacional muestra signos evidentes de acercamiento con sus consumidores", con una tendencia a "crear redes de cadena de suministro que están extremadamente organizadas y construidas a medida de la base de clientes finales", Pitto señaló que " el La portualidad de ligadura y genovés primero debe venir a ofrecer este mercado no sólo la productividad de los muelles, sino una eficiente red de servicios a la mercancía, con bajo impacto burocrático, electrónicamente rastreable, interconectado a la principal Puerto de Community Community System y capaz de personalizar productos y entregas. El puerto y Génova tienen todo el papeleo con el fin de jugar un papel importante en los próximos treinta años, pero hay una necesidad de una visión compartida de crecimiento que se compromete tanto trabajo como la comunidad de la ciudadanos ".

"Nuestra idea es trabajar en un" sistema portuario "no sólo" orientado al envío ", sino también" orientado al mercado " : avanzada tecnología, alta productividad y rentabilidad, que amplían el su propio perímetro operativo más allá de Apennino, garantizando la excelencia burocrática y elevados atractivos fiscales para los inversores. Muchas de estas condiciones ya existen, otras están a nuestro alcance ", agregó. dijo.

Pitto ha embistió las iniciativas ya lanzadas con éxito, incluyendo muchos con la contribución sustancial de Spediporto, para hacer la cadena de suministro más eficiente que pasa para el puerto de Génova, por ejemplo con la introducción masiva de la telemática, e instó a mirar otras experiencias "como eso", dijo PortXL, una incubadora de startups innovadoras en la industria portuaria y naviera, que fue lanzada recientemente en Rotterdam. " ( de la 30 de octubre 2015), iniciativa-señaló-que "podría replicarse fácilmente en Genovese".

Otra iniciativa-según Spediporto-podría ser la creación de la Zona Económica Especial: "sabemos que el gobierno italiano sería capaz de dar vida a algunos ZES localizados en las regiones del Sur (Campania," Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria y Sicilia). Pero sería un error, señaló-no imaginar la creación de Zona Económica Especial incluso en los traspuertos del Noroeste y el Noreste de Italia. Es muy probable que en los próximos años una gran parte de la actividad de producción en el Lejano Oriente se esté acercando al mercado de destino final de los productos ".

"No podemos pasar por alto los efectos en nuestro territorio", dijo, dirigiéndose a los candidatos para el puesto de alcalde de Génova presente en la asamblea de la asociación de transitarios-de una política compartida entre el estado, Regiones de la North West and Commons, que se dirige a la creación de un puerto de producción y servicios de alta eficiencia, vinculado a la infraestructura material e intangible con puertos traseros y plataformas informáticas nacionales y europeas capaces de atraer inversiones y asentamientos productivos gracias a un ensayo de recurso a un ZES que ofrece a mercancías desembarcadas la posibilidad de ser procesado, acabado, personalizado, enviado al destinatario final a través del uso de mano de obra altamente cualificada y procesos de robotización.
