Strong concern for seafarers of ENERMAR.
ENERMAR Yesterday the company issued the following statement:
____________________________________________________________
Enermar Cars Ltd ceases to operate
After more than 10 years of service between La Maddalena and Plau, guaranteeing the right to mobility of residents and tourists, having ferried 1,231,000 passengers last year alone, providing employment to as many as 50 employees in the area, Enermar Transport Ltd is obliged out of business.
This decision was due to reduced income in 2010, caused by the unfair reduction of racing Enermar granted to the Autonomous Region of Sardinia. These courses were mainly allocated to another operator who, even today, is also assignee of significant regional contributions to carry out the ferry service at night. These contributions have been secured to date, thanks to an endless series of unlawful renewals, without a regular race, with a clear distortion of the competitive scenario. In addition, the question about the legality of the operation by the operator's link diurnal and nocturnal subsidized, with the same ship.
The Autonomous Region of Sardinia, only on appeal to the TAR by Enermar, has issued a call for tenders for the award of the Public Service Night of shipping links with the smaller islands, which, as it is structured, raises the company formerly subsidized foster attachment night, in a position of advantage unattainable, preventing Enermar to compete on equal terms.
It is hoped that the Autonomous Region of Sardinia to intervene with an emergency surgery that restores and clarifying the conditions of free competition in order to continue the activities Enermar, award the number of runs has always granted the same and clarifying that the person making the rides at night, under a grant, can not and must not be assigned even running day, creating a situation of unlawful competition. In the absence of action no later than the end of this month of February, will Enermar forced, reluctantly, to leave the industry with the first days of March.
