"No to the supermeter in the port of Portovesme". With a press conference on the east quay, the one where the Snam gas tanker should permanently dock, Legambiente reiterated its no to the Snam project.

"It is a wrong project for the port and for Portovesme, which we have been following for years for environmental issues", said Stefano Ciafani, national president of Legambiente. "A ship of 110 thousand cubic meters of gas is oversized - says Vincenzo Tiana, scientific committee of Legambiente Sardinia - not to mention that it would be anchored near the town of Portoscuso, which would add to the many existing environmental problems and which would be very close to traffic. passengers for Carloforte. Let's say a convinced no to this project ".

On the quay to say no also the mayor, deputy mayor and councilors of Portoscuso. "It is a project from above, which does not take into consideration the objectives of our town - says Giorgio Alimonda, mayor of Portoscuso - we are opposed first of all because the gas tanker would be really too big compared to the real needs of our industrial center. forgetting the safety issues, in Livorno a similar plant was located 22 kilometers from the coast. Finally, dedicating all this quay to the gas tanker would mean precluding any other entrepreneurial initiative in the port ".

Some citizens and representatives of the Sardegna Pulita environmental association were also present in Portovesme, which in recent days, with Donne Ambiente Sardegna, presented a complaint to the regional fire brigade committee which will soon have to comment on the project presented by Snam.
