-
- On the occasion of the presentation of the trend of the traffic of the
first quarter of this year, the Port System Authority
of the North Central Adriatic Sea took stock of the
consequences of the conflict caused by the invasion of Ukraine by
part of Russia on the activity of the port of Ravenna. The institution
has announced that in 2021 the traffic of the Ravenna airport with the
Black Sea countries reached 4.3 million tons (16%
of total traffic), of which three million tonnes with
Ukraine and 775 thousand tons with Russia.
-
- The authority has specified that, from the point of view of the
product categories concerned, in 2021 traffic to and from
Black Sea countries involved two million tons of materials
first for the ceramics of the district of Sassuolo, 1.3 million
tonnes of agri-food products (cereals, vegetable oils,
food and feed), about 250 thousand tonnes of fertilisers and
about 140 thousand tons of mineral fuels.
-
- In 2021, 446 arrived in the port of Ravenna from the Black Sea
ships (16.5% of total touches in the port), of which 200 ships
they concern trade with Ukraine and 162 ships with Russia.
-
- In the first quarter of 2022 traffic with the countries of the Sea
Nero amounted to 1,144,672 tons (17% of the figure
total), of which 606,504 tons with Ukraine and 274,397
tons with Russia. In the same period the ships to and from the
Black Sea were 107 (16.6% of total touches), of which 41
for trade with Ukraine and 42 for trade with Russia.
-
- The AdSP found that the first quarter trades of
this year they do not fully discount the effects of the ongoing war,
with traffic indicators to and from the Black Sea, in terms of
number of vessels and tonnes, which are in line with the average
of 2021.
- The port authority recalled that last month the European Union
launched a fifth package of sanctions against Russia based on
to which to ships of the Russian flag and to ships operated by
Russian operators has been banned since April 16
access to EU ports and which, by way of derogation from this prohibition,
competent authorities may authorise access to a port
EU in the case of ships carrying agricultural products and
food, fertilizers, medical-pharmaceutical products, aids
humanitarian and energy products (natural gas, oil and derivatives),
titanium, aluminium, nickel, palladium, iron ores and
certain chemical and ferrous products. The derogation - he also recalled
the AdSP - also concerns coal and other solid fossil fuels,
but in this case only until next August 10th.
- The Port System Authority explained that as far as
concerns the potential effects of these sanctions on the port of
Ravenna, 30 flying ships are docked as of April 2022
Russian flag, of which the last on April 4. Taking as a reference
the whole year 2021, the ships flying the Russian flag arrived are
were 89 out of the total of 2,702 (3.3%), for 384,791 tons (1.4%
on the total traffic of the port). Of these 89 ships, 81 (for 336,586
tonnes, 1.2% of the total traffic of the port) refer to
product categories exempted from the ban (fertilizers, fuels
minerals, agricultural and animal products, foodstuffs/feedingstuffs/
oil) and only the remaining eight vessels (for 48,205 tonnes, the
0.2% of the total traffic of the port) concern affected categories
from sanctions (raw minerals, manufactured goods, materials from
construction, chemicals and metallurgical products).
- The port authority also pointed out that, despite
the escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, in March 2022 on
Ravenna's port has not only consolidated the traffic reached, but it is
grown in virtually all sectors, both by category
commodity that for conditioning methods, in a trend
positive of 13 months of constant growth (from March 2021) which -
announced the institution - it seems destined to slow down in April, if the
first estimates on handling in the month, formulated at closing
of orders on the Port Community System, will be confirmed. The
consolidated growth rates in the first quarter of
this year - the AdSP specified - they should, in fact, be eroded
from the April result, down -17.6% compared to the same
month of 2021 and -16.2% compared to that of 2019. Considered
therefore, this marginal negative contribution that is affected in a
significant lack of traffic with Black Sea ports ‐
announced the authority - the first quarter of 2022 should
close with a total movement of almost 8.7 million
tons, up about +6.0% compared to 2021 and down
by -0.5% compared to the first four months of 2019. All the more
important product categories, in fact - clarified the AdSP -
should record a fairly marked negative balance compared to
to the first quarter of both 2021 and 2019 and the products that
would lose more are just those coming from the
areas affected by war operations, i.e. materials from
construction (‐12.5% on 2021 and ‐ 2.0% on 2019) and
fertilizers (‐35.7% on 2021 and ‐27% on 2019). Positive
instead, the estimate on the trend of the first quarter of 2022 of
trailers and containers.
