La Spezia – Out of provincialism, to coordinate major infrastructure choices and face future challenges. The proposal of a team game between the ports of the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea, launched yesterday by the president of the La Spezia Authority Mario Sommariva, it is «a system response which today “is no longer a slogan, but rather a compelling necessity to rationally spend resources and to place major works and, first and foremost, ports at the service of the demand that arises from the country’s economic system, also leaving mental and cultural patterns that are now obsolete – the intervention of the general secretary of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Ligurian Sea Federica Montaresi -. In the case of Liguria, coordinating and not contrasting the effort of La Spezia and Carrara with that of Genoa and Savona which in the coming years will find themselves facing the operational impact of the construction sites for the construction of major works”.
The ‘Under the sign of the port’ event
A proposal that also found agreement Paolo Pessina, president of Assagenti, who underlined that for ports it is time to «overcome the conflicts and launch a major territorial marketing operation especially among industry, Italian and otherwise», with the aim of providing «the real image of a port system of the The Tyrrhenian arc is also able to respond to the demand for services with coordinated and efficient logistics.” The element of cooperation between ports, necessary today in the formula for success in the sector, was also highlighted in the speech of the associate professor of the Department of Strategy and Innovation of the Copenhagen Business School Michele Acciaro. In a context in which infrastructures are “old” and in which climate change will have a 20 times greater impact on ports, including floods and heat waves. The La Spezia port system remembered Alessandro Laghezza president of the association of freight forwarders of the port of La Spezia – has always stood out for its reliability, making up for the difficulties of other ports in a logic of complementarity. A complementarity that I see between the Ligurian ports and those of the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea, as a resilient and reliable system”. A long-term vision is necessary, added Assarmatori president Stefano Messina to the debate, who launched a proposal that created debate within the room: the creation of a gas power plant in the port of La Spezia to support cold ironing. Espo president Zeno D’Agostino’s prospects for the future of trade, in the face of the international crisis, are less optimistic. Which also introduced the theme of coexistence between ports and local communities. A topic very dear to the Tarros Group, represented by Mauro Solinas. «Sustainability has become a necessary sector within our company, given the requests and attention of customers».—
