AGIPRESS – If La Spezia was, as is true, one of the capitals of modern European logistics thanks also to the contribution of some of the most innovative entrepreneurs in the sector, the time is now ripe from all points of view for the institution in La Spezia (within the university centre) of a Faculty of transport economics and logistics, which places as a common factor both the visions and the innovative technologies in port and customs matters which have characterized the development of the port and the system for several decades logistics that hinges on the port. Already the capital of the pleasure boating industry and capable of attracting talent from all over the world, offering training courses on yacht design, naval design and mechatronics, La Spezia today puts in place all the preconditions to become not so much and not just a university training center in logistics and port logistics – as already proposed by Salvatore Avena, President of the logistics section of Confindustria La Spezia and exponent of the port community – “but also a center of aggregation of professional excellence and advanced technology in a sector in continuous and constant transformation”.
“What happened in the nautical sector where specialist training starts from high schools and then unfolds in university specialisations, La Spezia – as reiterated for the Community by Alessandro Laghezza with a view to taking charge of a concrete project for the implementation of the university center – has found itself facing and resolving before other problems such as that relating to the logistics chain and the interaction between port and port, within an evolving framework of customs practices and regulations and in the short term of the Simplified Logistics Zone”.
“The sector – adds Bruno Pisano – is constantly looking for professionalism suited to structures that are not only constantly changing in the world, but have also become the backbone of the entire economic system, guaranteeing added value in terms of efficiency and competitiveness. “The innovations and transitions underway and in perspective – underlines Giorgia Bucchioni, President of the maritime agents of La Spezia – require new and high professionalism to support and accompany the processes, university-level skills to complete those already excellently guaranteed by the professional figures prepared by the National School of Transport and Logistics, by Cisita and by ITS, involving the La Spezia university center and quickly creating a Faculty of Maritime Economics with specializations in transport and logistics. Objective: a rapid and effective repeat of the success achieved in the large nautical sector”. AGIPRESS
