The association of road haulage companies recently met with entrepreneur Gallozzi and the Adsp commissioner Cuccaro
Fita Cna Campania Nord was called to represent the Salerno-based companies in the road haulage sector in a meeting with the Central Tyrrhenian Sea Port System Authority and the operators of the port of Salerno.
On November 3rd, a delegation of hauliers was received by Agostino Gallozzi, president of the Gallozzi logistics-port group, at the Salerno Container Terminal, and then subsequently by the Adsp commissioner, Eliseo Cuccaro, at the Salerno headquarters of the port authority. The subject of the meeting at the port authority was the progress status of the complex ongoing investments and the new road layout, aimed at improving the critical issues related to the congestion that characterizes the Salerno port. Similar topics were also discussed with Gallozzi, about whom Fita Cna underlines in a note “the investment capacity deployed by Gallozzi”, which “certainly goes in the shared direction of enhancing and progressing the territory.”
The central theme, explains the regional secretary of Fita Cna, Attilio Musella, remains “the reduction of truck dwell times inside the port. Although the increase in handled TEUs represents a positive factor for the economy, the related industries, and port activities, this clashes with the limited space available in the infrastructure. To achieve significant results, it is therefore essential to focus on the optimization of production cycles, an economic principle that allows for the allocation of resources with maximum efficiency. In this context, commissioner Eliseo Cuccaro is considered the ‘front line’ called upon to harmonize the demands of all the port’s actors. With the current port reform – underlines Musella – the president increasingly assumes the role of facility manager, that is, a manager capable of understanding the needs of all parties involved, coordinating them, and reconciling sometimes opposing interests. The strategic attention is good, but now it is necessary to move from vision to action, to make the processes and the development of the sector fluid and viable. In this area, the Port Fee and the Infrastructure Decree represent useful tools for distributing the costs related to the external diseconomies of the port supply chain in an equitable manner. According to Musella, the valorization of waiting times responds to a principle of industrial solidarity and sustainable economic development.”
