ROME (ITALPRESS) – “There are millions of jobs, 10 to 12 percent of GDP moves on the sea: we have extraordinary excellence of our industries, shipbuilding, fishing, recreation, ports, we have a maritime port cluster that is a European and world excellence and we never talk about it. Every now and then we are a bit forgotten, so we were very pleased to hear Premier Meloni speak about the economy of the sea” at the Confindustria assembly, “in a context that encompasses all the instances of Italian industry.” This was said by Luca Sisto, director general of Confitarma, in an interview with the Italpress news agency.On September 25 and 26 in Palermo, Confitarma will be among the protagonists of “Sea Resource,” a two-day event to talk about the Blue Economy. “It is a format that now has an annual cadence and we, as Confitarma, will participate convinced that we can make our contribution,” Sisto explains. In addition, on October 30, at the Naples Maritime Station, Confitarma is planning for the next confederal public assembly dedicated to “The ship in the future,” which “we imagine more competitive, safer, with more women. We imagine it connecting our islands more frequently and with more capacity, we imagine it rich in jobs and opportunities and even more sustainable. We are broadly committed to the ecological and energy transition, but the data already make us winners in this challenge that we are protagonists, even if there is oca maritime culture on the part of decision makers, because some choices are a bit self-defeating: we move 90 percent of the world’s goods while polluting less than 3 percent in the atmosphere.” The appointment is therefore in Naples. “In the morning, during the panels, we will work together with experts, shipowners and journalists, then we will move aboard the Costa Smeralda ship, for a lunch that will precede the public assembly,” Sisto explains.
