the harbour community spezzina asks that to the retroportuale area of S. Stefano Magra is recognized the title of local productive system



The harbour community of has met this morning in occasion of the convention on the topic "the value port" in order to examine and to rimarcare the opportunities that can consequently give ulterior impulse to the increase of the port and to the economy and to the well-being of the city. "In this moment - it has found Bruno Pisano, councilman of La Spezia Port Service, the new organization constituted from the harbour and logistic operators spezzini that it has organized the today's encounter - the ports and not only Italian are enduring the consequences of a real industrial revolution, I yield of a race exasperated to the concentrations, am on the front of the great companies who dominate the market, is of transported cargos and therefore of the container in always greater and which conveyed amounts on little hub harbour in a position to shunting these cargos towards the final destinations. For the ports and La Spezia in particular - it has emphasized - the moment has reached not to endure the processes passively but to return to being some protagonists transforming these changes in opportunity".

About the nordeuropea harbour formula professor Francesco Parola of the University of Genoa, that it has found as, in a characterized international picture from a real revolution of the logistic market has spoken and harbour, the logistic flows of the goods in more and more exasperated way stretch to root themselves exclusively single and where the infrastructural, bureaucratic and operating conditions return it convenient.

In order to offer to these conditions the operators of they have evidenced today the opportunities offered from the rational exploitation of the near retroportuali areas of Santo Stefano Magra, with the objective to at least partially transform the containerized trade from element of exploitation of the territory in generating factor of economy, production and occupation. Also the single pause of destined a minimal percentage of container to operations of filling and emptying or service for industrial truths in retroportuale area - it is emphasized - is able to activate a multiplying effect with benefits to the harbour and logistic communities that today "endure" single the transit of the container.

Reference has been made, to such purpose, the example supplied exactly from the ports of the Europe north, than, on enormous logistic areas integral part of the port, has constructed real dominant economic systems. According to evidenced how much from the relatori to La Spezia, this new challenge of from Liguria port, that it historically boasts a birthright in the private management, the efficiency and the productivity, passes through the ability to attract not only ships, but also market of reference of the goods.

"To a port that is first in Europe and quarter in the world for efficiency determined from the relationship between container enlivened and square metres on the large squares - it has observed Bruno Pisano - another leap can be asked forward. The great opportunity in order to carry out this leap forward is represented by dry port of S. Stefano Magra. The port of La Spezia is called today to take advantage of a new potential competitive advantage: in zone strategic that it constitutes the crossroads of the logistic activities, very near port of La Spezia, to which it is connected by a railway line and a directed highway riser of about five kilometers, in the point of highway connection from which the connections for the directions Genoa, Livorno and Parma leave, is situated, as teach to the children of the elementary schools, one of greatest plains of the Liguria that is the flat one of Santo Stefano Magra.
A so near area and so connected that it today pushes to assert to us that which could be the new formula of the Spezia system: between the port and Santo Stefano Magra we do not transport container, we enliven them. In fact, extending to the areas of Santo Stefano the shuttle camionistico that connects in an ideal circuit the harbour docks with the empty warehouses of retroporto and terminal, we are successful to pull down times and costs of transfer of the container being returned them very similar to those of harbour handlings".

In the course of the round table many question marks are emerged therefore on what it will be the final order of the system break. Sul topic of the customs corridors, the crash between Bruno Pisano and the general manager of Customs, Giuseppe Peleggi, has evidenced as the knowledge to repay the coastal territories to compensation of a part of the uneasiness generated from the harbour traffics is still far the comprised being to full load. Mentioning to the topic of "fast corridor", Pisano, defining it express "a single little one polemical cue", it has found that "certainly it is singular that Customs invest varied million euro in order to fine tune the procedures of control to La Spezia and Santo Stefano Magra, of which above all in this last period all we feel the need, but at the same time fire finalized procedures to climb over the same controls and to move the customs moment in areas of the inside lacking in any apparatus scanner that affords groundbreaking verifications. If therefore as the dry appears port of Santo Stefano is one of variable the substantial ones for giving development to fines activity of the logistics - spezzina has rimarcato the representative of the harbour community - then has reached the moment to ask politics a engagement, to all the levels, in order to stimulate this system of development, to create new companies and new job. First of all it reruns the necessity to identify the area of Santo Stefano as area of productive development in the field of the logistics with a normative acknowledgment to regional level that it means to assign to flat of Santo Stefano the title of local productive system".

Pisano has concluded its participation asserting polemicamente, but - it has specified - "with pride and interpreting the thought of many colleagues, than it has not understood nothing who in the past has accused us of being subject from rearguard battles, because we look far away and our action is and always will be marked by perseverance. Only so, the value port will be able to still grow".

It is emerged moreover with force by the participations of Alessandro Laghezza and Andrea Fontana, presidents respective of the shippers and the shipping agents of La Spezia, the importance of a common front that he represents an independent force of premise and support of the projects of development also and especially in the era of naval gigantism.

Michele Pappalardo (Federagenti) and by Roberto Alberti (Fedespedi) has confirmed that all the categories are engaged on the line of the front of the change. And even if the managing director of La Spezia Container Terminal, Michele Giromini, has supported the necessity "to think positive", the problems waiting for answer in order to make of the logistic system Italy still seem many and complexes in spite of also the steps forward completed from the public and evidenced (if of Customs) from the president of Anasped, Massimo De Gregori.
