CIVITAVECCHIA – Highlight the current geopolitical scenarios at an international level as well as the policies, projects and investments in environmental, social and economic sustainability for the growth of the country system.
These were the aspects put at the center of the event “A coffee at Villa Borghese – European logistics at the center of global geopolitical scenarios” organized in Rome last Tuesday by Alis. A day during which institutions, businesses, stakeholders and professionals discussed key issues of the economic system, giving interpretations of the current situation and proposing possible initiatives to be implemented.
«In recent years – explained President Alis Guido Grimaldi – logistics has faced and is facing continuous international challenges relating to: increase in production costs, raw materials and fuels; chronic lack of specialized figures including drivers, seafarers, train drivers, on-board doctors, logistics operators; pandemic and epochal changes caused by wars and geopolitical crises. The importance of the logistics sector and intermodal transport is also confirmed by the numerical data that emerged in the latest studies that we presented at our LetExpo fair in March, in particular the analysis of the Alis Study Center with SRM on the geopolitical and macroeconomic scenarios and the impacts of European regulations on sustainability in the transport sector and the Bocconi University study on the strategic role of maritime intermodality for the Italian economy”.
The president of the ADSP of the central-northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Pino Musolino, also took part in the initiative, speaking in the panel dedicated to “A strong and competitive Italy, between geopolitical crises and future challenges”, moderated by the journalist Nicola Porro and which also saw the participation of Admiral Nicola Carlone, general commander of the Port Authority-Coast Guard Corps), Beatrice Lorenzin (Deputy Group Leader PD Senate), Augusta Montaruli (Vice President Rai Parliamentary Supervisory Commission), Ernesto Stajano (Managing partner Stajano Law Firm , Garella & Associati), Eugenio Tranchino (Managing Partner Watson Farley & Williams), with the conclusions entrusted to the Honorable Edoardo Rixi (Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport). President Musolino, precisely with a view to competitiveness and strategic choices, has focused attention on the development, on the respect by the Authority of all the deadlines imposed by the Pnrr and on the competitiveness of the Lazio network and of the port of Civitavecchia in particular , reaffirming its leadership in the Mediterranean, and its being among the top five ports in the world in the cruise sector. But he also reiterated the need for fair international standards to compete with international ports.
«At this moment in Italy it is strategic to talk about logistics, transport, networks and services to businesses – the vice-president of the Lazio Region Roberta Angelilli then underlined – never before have we felt like a team because the international situation risks interfering on all economic development, networks also risk being put in a complex situation. We will entrust many strategic tasks to the European Commission, Europe must be an element of facilitation for businesses and the economic system. We expect a lot from the EU Commission.”
