The announced resignations of the president of the Port System Authority of the Southern Adriatic Sea, Ugo Patroni Griffi, have concretized with the handover, happened in the center of B ari of the Apulian port authority, with the newly named extraordinary commissioner of the agency, the Rear Admiral Vincenzo Leone, Director of the Marine Direction of Bari of Body of the Port Authorities.
The farewell anticipated by the assignment at the end of June
A post by the Ads recounts that, “I have completed all the formal acts, the Secretary General, Tito Vespasiani, and the managers made a welcome toast to the Commissioner and wishes to the President”.
The Port System Authority of the Southern Adriatic Sea has competence on the Apulian airports of Bari, Brindisi, Manfredonia, Barletta, Monopoli and on the Molise one of Termoli; the farewell anticipated by the assignment at the end of June by its president had been announced in recent weeks and motivated for health problems.
A statement
In a statement, the port authority announced at the beginning of June that last March Patroni Griffi “had the need to have to schedule surgery”. The same communication explained then that “resignations, formalized as early as April, would have taken effect at the end of June, in order to allow until the last day to carry out the programs of the institution and above all to avoid that the authority was commissariata during the G7 summit”.
The Central Adriatic Ports Authority manages 6 ports on the central Italian Adriatic coast:
Besides Ancona, the Central Adriatic Ports Authority manages other 5 ports of national importance on the central Italian Adriatic coast: included in the port system are Pesaro, Falconara Marittima, San Benedetto del Tronto, Pescara and Ortona. The six ports represent an increasingly integrated system, with some particularly dynamic elements of specialization, such as the development of niche cruise lines, passenger traffic on fast lines to the Croatian coast, shipbuilding and storage.
Second call of the port system
Ortona is the second call of the port system for cargo handling and sea highways. The Abruzzo call included along with Pesaro in the cruise itineraries is exploring the Italian Adriatic coast promoted by extremely well- maintained small boats directed towards a selected clientele, while the passenger traffic on fast boats enriches the tourist offer of the Pesaro port in the summer months. Having been relaunched in Pesaro with a significant private investment in 2017, the shipbuilding industry is undergoing strong development in San Benedetto del Tronto and Ortona as well.
