THE S.UP.PORT. PHILOSOPHY

The main items we focused on, over three years, involving the partners in the project and social partners (trade associations and unions), are:

• To reach the highest quality standards when offering port services (it’s important to note that in our Port shipbuilding/ship-repair activities are linked to the commercial port areas, so that they are often treated like “port services”);
• The maintaining workers’ skill standards in the shipbuilding industry, port companies and terminals;
• To facilitate existing mobility and transformation processes, combating potential risk of exclusion for port workers from the job market.

These are our key-factors: as a Port Authority, we have an overall view of the major issues affecting ports, and, by carrying out a project focused on adaptability, with its related training and work-placement activities, we can really facilitate mobility processes among the various companies operating in the port.
