(Adnkronos) - “Questo progetto ci ha permesso di lavorare sodo sul completamente l'ultimo miglio ferroviario, sulla connettività del porto con la rete ferroviaria nazionale ed europea, e coincide con la recente conclusione del percorso di inclusione di Civitavecchia e dei porti del Lazio all'interno della rete TEN-T, quindi siamo stati promossi da Rete Comprensiva a Porto Core” queste le parole di Pino Musolino, presidente Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale in occasione dell'evento finale del progetto "Fast Track to the Sea” presso la sede dell'Autorità di Sistema Portuale di Civitavecchia.

00:00Conclusion
00:04First of all, the conclusion of a project that allowed us to work hard
00:08on the last rail network, on the connectivity of the port with the national and European rail network.
00:14But then it coincides with the recent conclusion of the path of the inclusion of Civitavecchia
00:19and the ports of Lazio within the TNT network.
00:22So we were promoted from comprehensive network to port core
00:26and so we took advantage of this closing event
00:29also to celebrate this new result that is in favor of this territory, this port
00:35but in fact in favor of the whole country
00:37and with the assumption of consequent responsibility
00:41to be passed from a comprehensive network port to a port core.
00:45The ambitions are endless because it is right that it is so
00:47otherwise one sets low results and then inevitably obtains low results.
00:52The main point is that being members of the network core
00:58will allow us to directly access the financing of CEF2, Connected Euro Facility
01:04that few speak of, but there are 36 billion for all of Europe
01:08in the next 36 billion until 2027.
01:11So it means having the possibility, we first, to be trailblazers
01:16to invent European projects, to participate in the calls
01:20but also to work on the topics that are important and fundamental at the moment
01:24which are those of technological innovation, energy transition,
01:28the construction of sustainable ports, but also, in short,
01:31designed to grow and expand and become, if we want,
01:35also business clusters, going from a merely logistical node role
01:40to becoming mega incubators of economic activities.
01:45We often forget that ports are also industrial areas
01:48and by using or reusing the port brownfields
01:51we are not going to consume very important land outside our areas
01:56and at the expense of the cities.
01:58So there is certainly the ambition, or at least the attempt,
02:01to become, in all respects, a port system that serves the capital,
02:06that serves the Lazio region, which we remember is the second region for PIL in Italy,
02:11which historically has not had or has not thought aggressively about its ports.
02:17In fact, much of the port traffic that serves the capital
02:21actually comes from Livorno and Naples.
02:23We would like to prevent this situation,
02:26even if not for our territorial position.
