RAPPORTO ANNUALE MED 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND NOTES The 2018 Annual Report on Italian Maritime Economy is part of a broader research project launched by SRM and called “Permanent Observatory on the Economy of Maritime Transport and Logistics”, from which the specialised website www.srm- maritimeconomy.com was born. This has the primary aim of monitoring and analysing the dynamics and economic impact of the sector in the economy of the country with a European and Mediterranean scope. We wish to thank all the supporting partners of the project: Assoporti (Italian Ports Association), Port Network Authority of the Ionian Sea, Port Network Authority of the Central Tyrrenian Sea, Confetra, Contship Italia, Federagenti, Grimaldi Group, Lotras, Unione Industriali Napoli. A special thanks goes to BANCO DI NAPOLI for cooperating in the presentation and spread of the results of this research. In particular, we wish to thank President Maurizio BARRACCO and General Manager Francesco GUIDO. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Desk Shipping of Mediocredito Italiano for the active participation in this research project. We also thank the different banks of INTESA SANPAOLO for collaborating in the phase of data and information gathering and for the help in spreading the results of the research.

We would like to thank professors Enrico FARDELLA and Andrea GHISELLI of the T-Way (Torino World Affairs Institute) for the support provided in promoting relations with the COSCO centre of studies which has elaborated a monography for this volume. This work was possible thanks to three important scientific missions SRM carried out and which made it possible to sign agreements with prestigious centres of studies and to gather data, information and documents which resulted in considerable value added to this publication. 6 L’ECONOMIA E LE RELAZIONI COMMERCIALI During the different missions and through direct visits of the ports, it was possible to comprehend the most interesting port models and maritime phenomena currently affecting the ports of Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Far East. The first mission took place in Bremen (Germany) in February 2018 and a special thanks is hereby due to the KLU - Kühne Logistics University for the support it provided SRM’s researchers. We would also like to thank professor Michele ACCIARO for his remarkable efforts in the organization of the interviews and in the preparation phase of the mission. As regards the interviews, a special thanks goes to: Lars STEMMLER and Uwe WILL of bremenports, Burkhard LEMPER and Sonke MAATSCH of the ISL-Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics, and Iven KRAMER, Minister of Economics Labour and Ports, free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The second mission was carried out in Singapore in March 2018, and a special thanks goes to Timothy COSULICH of the firm Fratelli Cosulich and to Federico DONATO, President of the Italchamber of Singapore, for the support provided to SRM’s researchers in the organisation of visits and interviews of the mission. For these interviews, we would like to thank: Raffaele LANGELLA, Ambassador of Italy to Singapore, Chio Kiat OW, Singapore Ambassador in Italy, Simon NEO, Regional Manager IBIA-International Bunker Industry Association, and Stephen GIRVIN, Director of the Centre for Maritime Law of the National University of Singapore.
