The road haulage blocks are gone, but the parcels arrive in Sardinia in slow motion. The reason? A large funnel has been created that is difficult to dispose of in certain times, ranging from 4 days to a week.
Gls and SDA (Poste group) have not yet resumed full operation, leaving the blocking notice on their site, even if Poste, according to what has been learned, would have restarted its procedures. Brt has instead eliminated any reference to the stop and restarted to perform the service even if it will take the technical time to redistribute the goods to be delivered.
The Assospedizionieri Sardegna association, which unites the companies that carry out the activity in the island of shipping, transport, logistic operators and multimedia transport, says it is "close to Sardinian transporters who are undergoing an unjustified and inflationary increase in fuel in Italy ", but at the same time considers the protest method adopted" inadequate "because" in fact it stopped logistics in Sardinia, causing considerable economic damage, thinking of all Sardinian production that was unable to board the ferries in order to be sold in the Peninsula ".
"It is also true - it is emphasized - that our island has never been favored by European standards, which, for example, allow reliefs to Sicilian transporters, who, instead of traveling along the highways, receive bonuses if they board the ferries, while our transporters, who are obliged to cross the sea, do not enjoy these incentives ".
"The productive future of Sardinia - underlines president Salvatore Plaisant - continues to rely on the professional logistics of forwarders, who make up for a system of territorial continuity that is still deficient and certainly can be improved".
