“The sea routes as strategic assets for the development of the Lazio region” conference in Civitavecchia port

Civitavecchia, Italy (PortSEurope) October 12, 2018 - "The sea routes as strategic assets for the development of the Lazio region" - this is the theme of a conference organized by Intesa Sanpaolo, in collaboration with SRM (study center connected to the Intesa Sanpaolo Group), Autorita’ di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Centro-Settentrionale (AdSP - Centre-North Tyrrhenian Sea Port Authority) and Association of Accountants of Civitavecchia. The meeting was opened by Christian Sforzini president of the Order of Chartered Accountants of Civitavecchia, and was an opportunity to present the 5th edition of the report "Italian Maritime Economy" by SRM. The report was presented by Alessandro Panaro, Head of the Maritime Economy of SRM, and deepened by Pierluigi Monceri, regional director Lazio, Sardinia and Sicily Intesa Sanpaolo and Francesco Di Majo, president of the AdSP, in reference to the regional scenarios and the challenges and opportunities that await the territory. This was followed by a round table discussion on "Banks, businesses and institutions in support of the territory" attended by Guido Andriani, lecturer at the Nautical Institute Calamatta of Civitavecchia, Antonio Errigo, Deputy Director and Head of International Relations ALIS and Giannandrea Palomba, president of Panama, with the moderation of Marcello Di Martino and commercial director of companies in Lazio, Sardinia and Sicily of Intesa Sanpaolo. The report highlighted the growth of Italian ports thanks to the growing importance of international components of maritime transport. In short sea shipping, Italy is always a leader in the Mediterranean. Italy has the potential to be a strategic point for embarking and disembarking and as a logistics hub for ships on the new Silk Road routes. In particular, the focus of SRM has highlighted the greater role that the maritime and port system of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta play for the growth of the territory, and underlined what are in perspective the new drivers to be developed to ensure that the port be more and more involved with infrastructure investments and the attraction of entrepreneurial investment. Pierluigi Monceri, regional director of Lazio, Sardinia and Sicily Intesa Sanpaolo: "In Lazio, companies engaged in the maritime system are more than 33,000 and generate something like €7.5 billion of added value and 134,000 jobs. In 2017, Civitavecchia recorded movement of 17 million tons of cargo and, with 2.2 million passengers, and is the first cruise port of Italy and the second in Europe. The so-called economy of the sea is an increasingly strategic growth and development asset and the connection between all the actors involved must always be stronger. Geography is not enough and the competitors are increasingly fierce: awareness of our role and our potential is needed in order not to lose the opportunities connected to this great sector. The Intesa Sanpaolo Group supports the transport and logistics sector, convinced that companies and infrastructures of this sector represent a heritage of Italy and, in the specific case at the center of today's work, of Civitavecchia and Lazio. Alessandro Panaro, Head of Maritime Economy Area SRM-Studi and Ricerche per il Mezzogiorno, said: "The Mediterranean is increasing its centrality in the global maritime traffic, not by chance in the last twenty years container traffic has increased by 500%. New phenomena are appearing in the "Mare Nostrum" as for example the numerous investments that China is making in logistics and maritime ports, the naval gigantism that is assuming increasingly troubling proportions for our ports and an aggressive policy of attracting entrepreneurial investments. In the field by Middle East & North Africa countries through free zones. These challenges require an increasingly innovative port system, ready to make investments increasingly targeted to the growth of the territory and integrated with logistics and to define as soon as possible strategies that go in synergy with the companies; in this sense the Simplified Logistics Zone can give a strong hand to simplify the bureaucratic procedures that have always represented the problem of our port system. The port system of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta with its great cruise ship and with a particular vocation aimed at the service of the production system must be in the front row to allow the country not to lose the opportunities that the Mediterranean is putting in place".
