The guidelines for the drafting of the port system planning schemes have been issued by the Commission established by the Consiglio Superiore dei Lavori Pubblici (Italian Authority responsible for overseeing public works).
The reform of the port legislation in Italy, governed by legislative decree of 4 August 2016, no. 169 concerning the reorganization, rationalization and simplification of the regime of Port Authorities laid down by law 28 January 1994, no. 84, has led to the Piano regolatore portuale (PRP – Port planning scheme) being replaced by the Piano Regolatore di Sistema Portuale (PRdSP – Port system planning scheme), as an indispensable precondition for a renewed national strategy in the sector.
Through note dated 08.06.2017 no. 16562 the Minister for Infrastructures and Transport issued the guidelines for the drafting of the Port System Planning schemes implementing article 6 paragraph l letter b) of legislative decree 4 August 2016, no. 169.

The representatives of the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport, of the Ministry of the Environment and of the Safeguard of the Territory and of the Sea, and experts of bodies and institutions in the various sectors concerning ports ‒ among whom the Senior Partner of the Firm, Andrea Giardini ‒ have taken part in the Commission.
