- Saints (Federagenti): positive prospects of the
cruises, but the iconic Venice is excluded from the market
-
- From the Seatrade Cruise in Miami - he announced - the confirmation
the exclusion of the lagoon port of call from the routes of ships from
cruise
-
 Federagenti fears that the port of Venice will not be able to do then
a lot to save the next cruise season, sector already
on their knees after the shutdown imposed in most of the world's ports
to this activity from the Covid-19 pandemic. Not even
making use of the temporary landings in Porto Marghera for ships from
cruise of over 25 thousand tons, in view of the possibility
to create a definitive landing place for these ships outside the
waters of the Venice Lagoon, with the Administrative Court
Regional for Veneto which, with a sentence published yesterday, has
accepted the appeal of Duferco Italia Holding that with its
Venis Cruise 2.0 project had been excluded from the call for tenders for the
competition of ideas to identify the definitive solution for
the arrival of cruise ships in Venice-
- In fact, according to the president of the federation of agents
Italian seafarers, Alessandro Santi, if the indications that are
leaking from the Seatrade Cruise underway in Miami, the main fair
cruises of the world, are generally positive, however
provide confirmation of an ongoing exclusion of Venice
from the itineraries of the main cruise lines that will have
certainly consequences on the system of the whole Adriatic in the
coming years.
-
- "With Venice - denounced Santi - the home port disappears
iconic and most important of the Mediterranean: how it was
announced the transitional phase indicated by Decree-Law 103 that
provided for actions in favor of the protection of Venice and work
it has not produced anything concrete. Neither went
to good end: the city is assailed by bite tourism and
escape and the quality and added value of cruise passengers
organized and high-spending was quickly replaced,
with huge multiplicative factors, from daily visitors, "goodbye
to hen and celibacy" and alcoholic raids. With the consequence
evident of hundreds of workers who have been waiting for months for support and
companies legitimately on the run'.
-
- "It does not matter - said the president of Federagenti -
who is responsible for the delay but, if in August
of the past year a law is made with this name and after eight months
nothing has moved, something is obviously wrong. The
programming on Venice today you can do it from month to month and
ships with their passengers can not wait for bureaucracy
Italian'.
-
- Santi denounced that similar fate, or a nothing of
fact, suffered the bill that through a
competition of ideas, should have provided certainty about the future
of the cruise port and container of Venice. The process - he accused
- has abruptly stalled, wasting time and money, and
confirms the many doubts that had been raised about the mode
of the proceedings, which had culpably neglected years of study and
of advanced technical comparisons, and unfortunately sanctions a further
loss of credibility of the Country System.
