Shortly they will share the work for the rifunzionalizzazione and restyling of the marine station of the port of Palermo



Today the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Western Sicily has announced the resumption of the work for the rifunzionalizzazione and restyling of the marine station of the port of Palermo, work - it has remembered the agency - that it has been firm and interdetta to the passengers for seven years because of administrative crashs and litigations between the harbour authority and the enterprise contractor, the So.Co.Stra.Mo Roman.

"After years of empty attended - the president of the AdSP has explained, Pasqualino Monti - the work of the marine station has been unblocked, thanks to the intense and profitable collaboration with the Provveditorato, in the person of dottor the Carlea, that it has conversed with So.Co.Stra.Mo affording, in times reasonably breviums, to arrive to the writing of a transaction between the enterprise and the Authority of System. A document that has followed its iter, passing to the sieve of the district Legal profession of the State, the judge of the court of Rome and, finally, 19th june, is signed by the parts. The So.Co.Stra.Mo has now 45 days of time in order to deliver the executive project to us, therefore they will begin the work that will have to be concluded within two years".

The Authority of Harbour System has announced also the dissequestro of another harbour structure: the Vittorio Veneto dock. "Also here, thanks to the marine Authority and to the engagement of admiral Gravante and its team - Monti has said - we have arrived to a precious goal: the dissequestro of the dock and, therefore, the possibility to count on a berthing in more. To this point he was fundamental to requalify the tensostruttura situated on Vittorio Veneto, in these years abandoned but indispensable in order to replace the marine station temporarily, because shortly that part of port will come newly touched from the cruise ships".

Monti has specified that, besides the total restructure of the tensostruttura, he will proceed himself to I renew of the furnishings and will arrive also new machinery radiogeni for safety of the baggages, with six rows of controls: "they will be operating - he has specified - by July. We are waiting for the authorization of the Asp. We will have so, finally, a terminal for ships that do not transport more 800-1,000 people but 5-6mila in an only one touched".

The president of the AdSP has evidenced that therefore a distance of requalification of the Palermo port of call is begun of which the marine station is the first step of greater visibility, that but it will be followed by the demolitions of the low bodies on via Crispi for giving the idea of a port opened to the city, by the dismantling of the silos (already are eliminated the parts in iron and the footbridges, the next the 27 beginning from concrete it will go down june) that it will design a new harbour skyline, and is at the last gasp the competition of ideas for the realization of the new terminals cruises and passenger terminal and ro-ro. And then - he has added Monti - in the within of the process, by now in existence, of requalification of the front to city sea, there is the large engagement on the historical marina of Sant'Erasmo, a work of total requalification with a project face to reactivate dynamic in a position to "ripopolare" functions and uses of that important feature of city coast of the city and staving off it to the abandonment and the degradation.

"The new face of the port of Palermo - it has emphasized Monti - will be a unicum, a walk that gives the semi cycle of Cala will reach Sant'Erasmo: all the participations are propedeutici to put our port in the conditions for manifesting those still unexpressed potentialities that return it to the height of the city on which it insists".

"The illustrated program today, the announcement of the resumption of the work to the marine station and the elimination of structures not more profits as the silos - mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando has commented - confirm that over some time the port will be a feather in the cap to the height of the challenge of international attrattività of the city".
