The motorway of the sea Nantes (Brittany) - Gijón (autonomous Principality of Asturias) operated by the French owner Louis Dreyfus, was inaugurated in September 2010. She knows, since an attendance exceeding expectations; to the extent that a second motorway of the sea departing from Vigo (Galicia) is planned to serve Algeciras, Saint-Nazaire, and Le Havre. However the durability of funding from the State via AFITF and access to European funds are not acquired for this means of transport while the Finance Act of 2013 said: France, heavy weight international transit zone, is subjected to nuisances and negative externalizations in environmental and economic terms. The motorways of the sea have been identified, to the side of the railway highways and combined transport, as a relevant alternative to road transport from start to finish on major traffic routes, including transit. The UDB relays the communiqué of the Mor Glaz association which it shares the concerns regarding the future of the motorways of the sea. Indeed, despite a true commercial success (20,000 trucks, 30,000 cars, 50,000 passengers, completed ships to 72%) despite the 34 million euros for annual subsidies from 2010; the company suffered an operating loss of EUR 6 million due to competition from the still very subsidized road despite the offensive speech on combating greenhouse gases, air pollution and other nuisances. Operative tax claimed by the territories of transits and traffic intense heavyweights such as the basque country, Catalonia, Alsace must quickly be implemented in an intelligent manner, therefore differentiated (excluding Britain already penalized by its peninsular character) in order to allow the financing of sustainable alternatives to any road. For the UDB, spokeswoman Mona BRAS more logical that this joint is part of the Loire-Atlantique. Even if the objective of 100,000 trucks transported is reached for «»of the motorway of the sea Nantes-Gijon, it could be deleted if subsidies were not renewed. The country of the subsidy at all will (sometimes unjustified in some areas) will shut down this highway allowing carry pollutant five times less and consuming any type of goods safely seven times less fuel (per tonne of cargo carried) than by road... For years, the MOR GLAZ association defends all maritime activities, and in particular the motorways of the sea. Trucks on ships to avoid passing by the road is a nice idea and a no-brainer, but the ideas are sufficient when shipping passes to the second plan policy in France and this despite all the declarations of good intentions expressed by both. The motorways of the sea do not become only a dream when the successive Governments that communicate on the maritime, without seeking to deepen human, environmental and economic issues and security. Successive Governments seem to always give priority to the transport by road, and yet this way very expensive communities in infrastructure, maintenance etc... Continue to encourage road transport and want to keep it as a first means of transport while it is unrestrained social dumping making it dangerous is a utopia become intolerable and unacceptable. Rulers must absolutely find an alternative to road transport, the MOR GLAZ association continues to support the maritime cabotage, as well as the development of the secondary ports. According to Vinci highways: 1 heavy weight on 3 wire feels likely to have an accident because of drowsiness, 3 out of 4 have recently rolled on the sound white lines along the strip of emergency stop. Alternatives to the road exist, the railway, the river and the Sea this natural highway that requires no maintenance, just monitoring. The MOR GLAZ association finds that the railways being so pitiful that the only real existing solution in addition to the road is the sea...Trailers by sea transport must become a priority, it must attract motor carriers and become the real alternative to the road. After having awarded a green cardboard March 9, 2011 at Louis DREYFUS SHIPOWNER for putting in place this shipping line Nantes-Gijon, the MOR GLAZ association would not give a red card to those who encourage not the continuity of this activity and that would end to this means of transport which... surrounds a friendly future. udb-bzh.net/index.php/fr/actualites/prise-directe/4151-les-autoroutes-de-la-mer-en-sursis#.VAWVhs4RPTE.facebook
