(Adnkronos) - Musolino: “Realizzare l'elettrificazione delle banchine, in gergo "Cold Ironing" può sembrare semplice, ma molti porti faticano a concretizzarlo. Questo progetto da 81 milioni di euro rappresenta il primo stadio di una rivoluzione energetica per una maggiore sostenibilità e indipendenza dalle fonti fossili.” Così Pino Musolino, Commissario Straordinario dell’AdSP del Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale, alla cerimonia della posa della prima pietra del cantiere "Cold Ironing" presso Darsena Traghetti Area Nord del Porto di Civitavecchia.

00:00In Italy we call it cold ironing, in technical language OPS, onshore power supply,

00:09that is the supply of electrical energy from land to the ships to prevent them from polluting when they park in the ports.

00:15It may seem like a very simple solution, but in reality it is a solution that many ports struggle to achieve.

00:22This work, 81 million euros, included in PNR funding,

00:28allows us to build nine charging stations, not all of them dedicated to cruising,

00:34but also five dedicated to cargo ships and trawlers.

00:37And now, if you want, the first stage of that great path of energy revolution

00:43in relation to the transition of ports towards greater sustainability

00:48and greater energy independence from fossil fuels, which is an inevitable path,

00:54has already started in many other countries and is already starting in this one,

00:58thanks to the strong commitment of the national government with the funds of the so-called Next Generation EU.

01:04It is true that the city must be able to feel its own port, but the port must also feel its own city.

01:10We are one thing, the culture of the port areas is conditioned by the ports,

01:15the identity, the traditions, even the food.

01:17Civitavecchia has shown a very strong ability to recover,

01:21it has shown that it can compete internationally.

01:24We are the sixth or seventh port in the world, depending on how much the statistics of the other ports make up.

01:29We are not.

01:31We are already playing at the European level to take the first place in the Mediterranean basin and therefore all over Europe.

01:39So I would say there is a lot to do, there is a lot to improve, there is a lot to build,

01:45because this wealth, also represented by this leadership in the cruises,

01:48for example, has been little shared with the territory of Lazio

01:51and has represented less current wealth than an enormous potential yet to be exhaled.

01:56So, of course, there are plows to work on,

01:59but they are plows on which we can build forts of a certain security in ourselves,

02:04which is what has been missing from this territory for many centuries, I would say.

02:08A marginalized and self-induced sense of inferiority.

02:12We do not feel better than anyone, but not even worse than anyone.
