SHANGHAI / VENICE (PRWEB) May 14, 2018 -- The Global Institute of Logistics (GIL) will formally announce on Wednesday at the Transport & Logistics Fair in Shanghai the appointment of the President of the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority Pino Musolino as Chairman of its European chapter.

I am particularly excited to play a central part in the Institutes next research program into Port Centric Commerce. I am a strong advocate for broadening the worldview of ports amongst global government and business to one that includes commerce. PINO MUSOLINO

Post this

GIL established in New York in 2004 is the preeminent ‘Think Tank’ globally in the area of global maritime logistics. Since its foundation in 2004 GIL has developed a network of 9000 logisticians across the world, who share the Institute’s vision for joined-up thinking amongst the myriad of actors in the global maritime logistics chain. The Institute is organized into three chapters, Europe, North America & China, Mr. Musolino will Chair the European chapter.

The appointment of Mr. Musolino coincides with the beginning of the Institute’s next research program on ‘Port Centric Commerce’ which will build on the previous work of the Institute. The program has as its objective, to research the direct connection between port-centric commerce and port trade. The module builds on the Institute’s research into the evolving role of the Port Authority from its traditional role of operator/landlord to economic strategist, which it began working on in 2008.

Eurasia trade (which is expected to generate 8 trillion dollars in infrastructure investment over the next 20 years) will provide the geographical background for the research. The Chinese Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) today's equivalent of the Silk Route will also feature prominently in the research as the Institute examines the implications for port-centric commerce along the maritime silk route which is being resurrected by the initiative.

Due to its historical links with the development of the original Eurasia trade links and Silk Route the Institute has identified the Port of Venice, (North Adriatic Sea Port Authority) as its research partner for its work on Port Centric Commerce. The Port is regarded as the spiritual home of Port Centric Commerce. It was at Venice that the demand for intercontinental shipping was first developed, indeed the 21st-century maritime link between Asia and Europe is only a variation of the ancient Silk Road. The only difference between the “maritime” Silk Road used by Marco Polo and that one currently used by the “Phoenician Express,” direct container, project cargo, and OOG service operated by the Ocean Alliance between Shanghai and Venice, is the modern availability of the Suez Canal.

Mr. Musolino told the assembled media of his feeling of pride in being the first Italian port president to assume the Chairmanship. He told journalists,

‘It is my distinct honor to have been invited to Chair the European chapter of the Global Institute of Logistics. I believe the appointment gives the Port of Venice and me the opportunity to share, learn and benchmark our experience with the global family of port authorities and other logistics stakeholders associated with the Institute.

I am particularly excited to play a central part in the Institutes next research program into Port Centric Commerce which builds on its work in informing port authorities on their role as economic strategists. I am a strong advocate for broadening the worldview of ports amongst global government and business to one that includes commerce.”

Speaking at the announcement, Mr. Ring said, “We are delighted to welcome Pino Musolino as our new European Chairperson. We believe that his appointment will further the Institute's work in Europe and in particular help us enormously in researching and understanding the growing efforts by Southern European Ports in rebalancing cargo flow north to south across the continent.

We are looking forward to aligning President Musolino’s vision for the future of the Port of Venice with the Institute's research into a renaissance in European ports whereby the original spirit of their development, commerce is reimagined.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the evolution of Ports over the last number of years has seen the decoupling of commerce and port which has led to a hierarchy whereby when we speak about ports we are obsessed with ship calls their sizes and their loads.

We need to change the conversation back to its genesis, back to the days when ports were first places of commerce, where merchants met to buy and to sell and to the set-in motion the need for shipping, cargo handling, distribution, and logistics.

Today more than ever with the advent of the Belt & Road Initiative and the increasing trade between China and Europe we need as a global port and logistics community to develop better and more comprehensive strategies to accommodate the needs of our Chinese partners.

I don’t think that there is any other port on the planet that is better qualified to moderate this process than the Port of Venice led by President Musolino. Venice and China are quite literally two ends of the same silk road, while the rest of Europe struggles to find ways to interpret, understand and accommodate the needs of China, Venice looks to its history and confidently say that achieving parity of esteem between both continents has happened before and will happen again."

Preliminary findings from the research on Port Centric Commerce will be published later in 2018.
