Venetian AssoAgenti, not to the transit in the Vittorio Emanuele channel of the directed fleeting ships to the terminal of Marine



The shipping agents of Veneto have newly expressed worry for possible the harmful interferences that the marine traffic and the tourist marine traffic could be determined between commercial because of a wrong choice of the route assigned to the fleeting ships in order to reach the Station of Marine to Venice. "Also finding with favor that the choice of the government is that to maintain the centrality of the Marine one of Venice which terminal for the traffic fleeting – the Association explains in a note Raccomandatari Agents and Marine Mediatori of Veneto (AssoAgenti) - manifest once again more the weever worry for the possible interference that it would be come to create if the project that came at the end chosen in order to make to reach the fleeting ships the terminal of Marine was that of the Vittorio Emanuele channel (using therefore the basin of evolution n.1 of Portomarghera). In fact, as from more parts emphasized, the separation of commercial the harbour traffics from those passengers is expression of a evolven and respectful harbour organization of the international opinions on safety of navigation, and this not only at the level of terminalistica area but also of access ways".

"The eventual interference in the coastal channel of transit (so-called Channel of the Oils) but above all at the level of the basins of evolution in harbour and industrial area - AssoAgenti emphasizes - would provoke to the most serious damages to both the highest economies as well as to determine and increase of the risks of safety of navigation and consequent incolumità and safety for the passengers (without having also to consider the other problems and legacies to the conformation and nature of the same area)".

"In the first quadrimestre of 2014 – the association of the shipping agents remembers - they are journeyed (in income and as many in escape) 862 ships for the mouth of Port of Malamocco, with an increase of about 6% regarding the same period of the year precedence (815 ports of call). Considered the important decrease of the oil traffics (destined to the area Port Oils of San Leonardo in the part to south of the channel of the Oils), also it is increased more than proportionally the concentration of the transits in the part to north (cfr. basins of evolution that carry to approach the Vittorio Emanuele Channel). Therefore the commercial traffic has turned out, and wishes, will turn out in sensitive increase in the final part of the interested coastal channel, in fact, in the Vittorio Emanuele project not only from the transit but also from the change of route of the fleeting ships. Ships, those passengers, that they can have dimensions until 333 meters; however the commercial ships (thanks to the escavo of the harbour channels) propose more and more important dimensions: during this week two great ships door-bulk give about 240 meters of length and very 38 meters of width will reach Marghera in order to disembark about 100.000 tons of producing destined vegetables to the systems of production of Veneto and the Friuli Venice Julia, actors of the market of export national (+7% from 24ore Il Sole source) with the produced ones of the agricultural and food- field.
The same one is worth for the great container vessels that have become regular users of the port of Marghera and in particular own of the basins of evolution of the terminal part of the Channel of the Oils".

"Not to maintain in consideration how much precedes – conclue AssoAgenti - would double determine dramatic a mortal blow to the two harbour economies that would involve also the induced one with thousands of workers and million euro of turnover".
