THE PORT AUTHORITY
| |
Establishment of the Port Authority
Lhe
port reform law (law no. 84 of January 1994)
concerning the legislative reorganisation of port
issues authorizes Port Authorities to be established
to take the place of the previous Institutions,
Consortiums, Provincial Educational Offices, Mechanical
Equipment Companies and other Bodies involved in
the control and management of maritime-port property.
|
The operative management of port areas and terminals was transferred to private operators, while some tasks, quite clearly defined by the law, remain under the Port Authority's jurisdiction:
orientation, programming, co-ordination and control of port operations and of other activities carried out in the port environment, also in terms of safety relative to the risks of accidents related to such activities;
maintenance of common port areas;
assignment and control of activities to supply general interest services, for payment, to port users.
