UNIONPORTS – maritime Cluster is the first association of professionals and port companies operating in the ports where the AdSP of the eastern Sicilian sea insists.
It was born following the modifications of the L 84/94 with the Legislative Decree 169/16 which favors the birth of consultative bodies, with the awareness that the aggregation and the synergy between the port actors represents an added value, capable of supporting the vision strategic (internationality) and “system” which the new regulation is inspired by. UNIONPORTS is an inclusive association open to dialogue with all sectors of the maritime segment and which, with credibility and professionalism, aims to become a primary interlocutor in the port environment of reference.
Indeed, with a view to “systemising” the considerable human and territorial resources present, UNIONPORTS immediately set itself the objective of drawing up a program of concrete initiatives aimed at supporting the port of eastern Sicily, in order to encourage and stimulate a process of development of the maritime economy, of operating companies, users and citizens.
The Association expresses its mission mainly through the pursuit of three objectives:
- effectively represent companies operating outside the Ports of Augusta, Catania and Syracuse in all the ports of Eastern Sicily in all external interlocutory offices;
- protect the interests of the members by intervening with effective and shared actions;
- guarantee the full expression of the potential of Sicilian ports and ensure their healthy development.
