How to explain the president Rinaldo Melucci and vice Archangel Santamato, the consortium, abbreviated Isc, is meant to represent, “in contrast with the current stagnation of the local maritime traffic, the base of a cluster between port operators of the territory on the basis of what already exists in the most important ports. Cluster can support the efforts of the institutions and other public actors for the revival of the port of Taranto. ” “The core business – he says – will be the shipping and chartering, ie the technical-commercial-cyclical performance auxiliary ship and maritime traffic”. But the consortium, it is noted, “also it aims to become a cultural reference point for the community port of Taranto, Puglia and perhaps, as well as training for students seeking Taranto prospects of employment. We believe – say the promoters – that potential is not collected by the city, in relation to the economy of the sea, are vast and scope of local professionals. ISC wants to recreate in Taranto profiles technical intellectuals of the maritime industry that have added value and that for so long have been the exclusive preserve, also in terms of economic returns, in other regions. “

And thanks to the openings of customers as Ilva which were reinstated at work a dozen employees that, “because of the vicissitudes of recent months, they had lost their jobs.” Positive, it should be noted, because “there are skills, experiences and values.” But the project you will work from now on is the full revival of the port of Taranto and the economy of the sea.
