Firmly they are convinced - it has added Grimaldi - that the intermodalità represents the future of the transport and the logistics".

Therefore we want that the sustainability of the transport happens through equal rules for all, than you do not make European cabotage with underpaid drivers. As it is possible - it has continued the A.L.I.S president. - than a single Italian shipowner it receives about 90 million subsidies for services in the Mediterranean carrying out and carrying out lines for the Sardinia with a dated ship between most obsolete and of Europe, with fleeting ships of beyond 50 years of age and that ciononostante one complains, while there are other shipowners that carry out services for the great islands as Crete, Malta, Sicily and the same Sardinia to which some contribution or subsidy is not lavished".

Grimaldi has emphasized that if these deep ones are granted, according to A.L.I.S this must not only happen as a result of a contest and in favour of a single shipowning company, but they must be directly lavished the Sicilian citizens, Sardinian and to the road haulage companies that carry out services towards the islands and that freely they must be able to choose with which company and on which lines to embark. "We hope therefore - Guido Grimaldi has asserted - that the Ministry see again in far-sighted way its position. It is in this way that for the first time the quality and the sustainability of the service would be rewarded".
