Ferries: to Sardinians 100 euros less on the Cagliari-Civitavecchia route
The assignment to Grimaldi "a sigh of relief for 6 months"
The first information on the tariff policy applied on the Civitavecchia-Arbatax-Cagliari section, which has been entrusted to Grimaldi, arrives. While it is still necessary to know the documents and the amount of the public contribution foreseen by the Mism (Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility) for the public service charges in the connection for the next six months, we begin to outline what the tariff policy will be applied. .
On average, residents in Sardinia can count on a discount of about 100 euros. It goes from 290-250 euros per person per cabin exclusively for two people who are not resident or not born on the island with a car of 4 meters upwards to around 190 for Sardinians. The simulation was carried out for the first days of service of the Catania ferry which will connect Sardinia and Lazio in about 13 hours until 23 March, with a three-weekly frequency and two landings in Ogliastra.
Meanwhile, there are the first reactions from the trade unions. Arnaldo Boeddu, general secretary of Filt Cgil Sardinia: "Finally a patch is put to a very difficult situation for the mobility of people and goods - he observes - Now, however, in addition to the frequency of the connection, it is finally possible to know the type of ship that will be used, the number and quality of the cabins available as well as the linear meters of the garage. For at least six months the Sardinians will be able to rest assured but in all these last months and especially in the last three weeks there was a risk of losing a public service in territorial continuity - he adds - We will see if in six months the Government and the Region of Sardinia will be able to award the five-year tender notice in order to be able to give certainties and a fair amount of time to passengers and entrepreneurs to plan with certainty and to vacation time as well as one's own economic activity ".
The leader of the Cgil Trasporti of Sardinia once again raises the problem of the social clause: "Tenders must contain the safeguarding of the employment levels of seafarers expressed up to now. It would be paradoxical if a situation were to arise in which some seafarers lose the workplace after 20/30 years of navigation ".
