A company at the service of inter modality All of the opportunities of an increasingly integrated system by Pietro Capogreco* The theme of intermodal The need for a greater connection between the Port of and the Trenitalia Group for the level crossing in via Galileo integration between the various Naples and the surrounding territory has been advanced Ferraris: a vehicle traffic underpass will be constructed, thereby networks of a modern and for some time now, but an answer has already been given eliminating the necessity for a foot crossing, so as to ease the efficient logistics chain has by thanks to a particularity of the Campania region: the transit of the railway wagons. And this is not all: the project now become common to all presence of two important and highly efficient and also plans the electrification of the railway lines that are present Italian transport operators. extensive interports, the Interporto Campano in in the port, therefore creating the possibility of organising the The inter-connections between and the Interporto Sud Europa in Maddaloni - Marcianise, trains directly in the maritime port, without having to necessarily sea, road, railway, and air are which are both connected to the national railway network move to Napoli Traccia. continuously involved in and equipped with electric stations. Finally, once all of these works have been carried out, Ferport research and are studied at all In fact, these interports manage to eminently perform the role of (that has already been said, will number among its partners, the levels, in the common logistics platforms for the region, having different characteristics, as rail operators of the Campanian interport system and will be knowledge that the more fluid is confirmed by the presence of the enormous logistics realities in able to directly organise the trains in the port ) will not have and easy the passage from one modality of transport to another, the Marcianise and different and very active realities in Nola. timetable limitations for the passage of trains which enter and higher competitiveness over the territory. The connection with these interports occurs for the majority of the exit the port. For some time, the Port of Naples has confronted this problem, by time on the road, but a notable increase is taking place on rail To this can be added two important elements: the possibility, which integration trying to integrate the modality of transport as much as possible, with transport, in a variety of ways. has already been activated, for the logistic operators to carry out between a certain regard for sea-rail transport integration. As has already been First of all, Ferport, the Port of Naples rail movement company, customs operations on the import containers that are not necessarily the port noted, this integration principally takes place in the container sector has seen the entrance of the private company Interporto Campano in the port but are also in the interports, with a consequent possibility and the as the load unit, (the container itself), allows for an immediate and into its company, for a more organic co-ordination in rail transport for reducing congestion in the container terminal in the port of interports economic exchange between the means of transport. For example, between Naples and the Campanian interportal system, without Naples, and the regional law which is about to be passed, that will in the latest research, the increase in efficiency in port -railway forgetting however, that the majority of shares in Ferport are held fund the transfer of the modality of transport from the road to rail: connections that is directly proportional to the increase in the earnings by Serfer, part of the Trenitalia group, a major logistic operator in in practice, this provision will allow for the formation of railway of the terminals under examination, can be seen: for example, for the the Marcianise interport. In this way, Ferport number among its shuttles from and to the port and the interports at an extremely Port of Naples, a good railway system, taking into account the current partners, rail operators that are established in both of the interports, competitive cost. infrastructure, would permit an increase of approximately 130,000 with a subsequent ease of interaction with them.

Mr Giordano, how did you become a carrellista? Mr Bossa, how did you become warehouseman? I have worked in the sector for 23 years, and followed a career path which has allowed me, I started as a general mechanic, room operator and then I was a balancer and finally a after 10 years of working as a warehouseman, to become carrellista warehouseman. What training did you have to follow in order to carry out this activity? How long have you been a warehouseman? I started when I was 16, as warehouse assistant for the Compagnia Marittima Meridionale. I was hired in 1990 and in 2001 I started to work as a warehouseman, so 6 years. At the time the work was much more complicated and tiring, the goods were loose and were What training have you had in order to do this job? not easy to pack and arrange to satisfy the needs of the warehouse and the ships. Training A training for two years as a general worker. Then I started on the scales. It is a work of is done on the job in this sector, but I must say that with the machinery of today, the proportions, the goods on entry must be the same weight as the total when going out. After, operations have been very much simplified. In the 80's when Mafis were used, one worked I automatically passed to the warehouse where the work mainly consists in checking the among the bales of cotton, and in that case, the work was much harder. Today the organisation goods on entry and exit from the silos. of work and above all, technology have improved our working conditions greatly. What are the particularities of your job? What are the risks? What are the particularities of the work that you do. What are the risks? It is a mechanical work and there aren't any big risks in this activity. Attention is definitely It is a systematic job, it is necessary to use your head and be careful, otherwise it is better needed in order to find faults in the machinery before starting to load or unload the goods to change shift. It is vital to have a perfect perception of how the goods are being positioned and is very important, but there again, the maximum attention in what one is doing should and if you use your head then the risks are nearly inexistent. be the rule for every type of job.
