The Italian logistics occurs with all its potential in the SIL 2010

In the Italian Pavilion and in the framework of the SIL on 26 and 27 May, Italy will present all their potential logistics through a series of interesting technical presentations.

Assoporti (Association of Italian ports) and UIR (Union of the Italian logistics platforms) Alpine associations presented a session entitled 'Together for the development of the country ports and logistics,' with the aim of creating a stable connection between the companyports, logistics platforms, and agencies, promoting the exchange of land freight traffic, as well as intermodality.

Asimisimo, RAM (Mediterranean motorway network) presented the project of developing a network of motorways of the sea as valid alternative to road transport, so it refers to costs, energy efficiency and sustainability. At the international level, the network of motorways of the sea represents an essential instrument of integration to the European Community to other countries in the Mediterranean area on prospects for a large area of free trade.

The subject of logistics and sustainable mobility will be addressed by ALOT (the Agency of the Lombardy East for the transport and logistics), who will be present for the first time in the SIL for promoting river transport in the North of Italy system to achieve collaborations with Mediterranean logistics operators.

And absolute novelty will be present at SIL 2010 of the simulation of the portacontáiners crane, a project of the University of Cagliari in collaboration with the port of Cagliari. Dubbed as 'Chameleon' for its versatility, the Simulator is a virtual instrument of analysis for the implementation of the safety and productivity in the interior of the container terminal. This demonstration is scheduled for Wednesday, May 26, 2010 and interested visitors can see and try the Simulator in a container located in the Italian area.

With the title 'Integration of logistics and transport in the South of Italy, key in the relationship of the Mediterranean', Italmed presents a project coordinated by the region of Campania. In this project have been also implicated Abruzzo, Basilicata (University of studies of Basilicata), Emilia-Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio (AREMOL), Puglia (AP Levante), Sicily, Tuscany and Veneto. The purpose of project aims to improve the connection to the commercial traffic of Italy South Mediterranean (Algeria, Egypt, Marruec, and Tunisia), both in quantitative terms (number of connections), and in qualitative terms (frequency, efficiency and punctuality) and competitive (cost and speed.)

On the other hand, on Thursday, 27 May, under the title 'Ligurian Ports, the port system at your service', is the main Italian port system and one of the most important in the Mediterranean with an arc of coastline of 150 kilometres covered by the ports of SavonaGenoa and La Spezia. These three multi-purpose scales have about 50 private operating terminals which operate all types of vessels and national and international freight.
