Send us a textIn this episode we sit down and talk with Caterina Vicentini in my hotel room in Trieste. Caterina is a math and physics teacher at the secondary school level in a town – Monfalcone -- that is about 30 minutes from the city centre of Trieste.She is a service user and takes advantage of opportunities like this to share her story to help destigmatize mental illness and to offer hope that one can have a full life -- education, career and family –- even while encountering the challenges of a mental illness. Of course, she lives and works in a region that is known for exemplary care.Her first crisis in her 20's happened when she was a graduate student. At that time, she had been awarded an Erasmus Fellowship which allowed her to study in Belgium. Then she was offered an opportunity as a PhD student to be a teaching assistant.She recalls for us her first experience of being taken to the hospital, forcibly injected by someone she did not trust, and then placed in a padded room with four point restraints. The shock of all that is beyond frightening and you will hear about her Houdini-like liberation that took all night long.In 1991 she and her husband returned to Trieste and she shares the stories over the subsequent decades of a few more incidents that would set her back, and how she emerged stronger each time. Note: when she talks about going to the “centro di salute mentale” or staying there in one of their beds, this is not a hospital. This is the community mental health center, which is an unlocked place with crisis beds for those who might need to stay for a day, a week or longer.

Kate Adie presents dispatches from the US, the DRC, Italy, Romania and EgyptKamala Harris and Donald Trump faced off against each other in a debate on Tuesday night at a pivotal moment in the race. In the lead up to the debate, both candidates had been neck and neck in the polls. Tom Bateman gauged what the locals made of their performance.An outbreak of the viral disease, mpox across central and west Africa has infected more than 21,000 people and killed more than 600 – and the Democratic Republic of Congo is at the epicentre. Simi Jolaoso has been to South Kivu, where medical staff are racing to deliver treatment and await vaccinations.The Italian town of Monfalcone has a population of over more than 30,000 people, more than 6,000 of whom are from Bangladesh: largely skilled workers who came to work at a major shipyard there. This has changed the makeup of the city, which is being met with resistance from certain corners. Especially the far-right mayor, as Sofia Bettiza discovered.Nicolae Ceaușescu bulldozed one fifth of the city to construct his People's Palace in Romania's capital Bucharest. It still towers over its population today. It's now the location of Romania's parliament and, while efforts have been made to remove the communist era symbols, it was deemed too expensive to demolish.

The Italian town of Monfalcone on the Adriatic coast has an ethnic make-up unique to the country. Of a population of just over thirty thousand, more than six thousand are from Bangladesh. They've come to help construct huge cruise ships, providing labour to do the type of manual jobs which Italians no longer want to do.For years, they worshipped at two Islamic centres in the town. Then, in November, the town's far right mayor, Anna Maria Cisint, tried to effectively ban collective prayer there, along with stopping cricket - the Bangladeshi national sport - from being played within the town.She says she is defending Christian values. Her critics say she is building walls rather than bridges. For Assignment, Sofia Bettiza travels to Italy to discover how the country is dealing with the increasing numbers of legal migrants coming to work in a country which needs their labour.

Quando si arriva a Monfalcone non si immagina tutto quello che ti fa vedere. La grande questione del lavoro al tempo della globalizzazione, la difficile convivenza tra persone di lingue diverse, la scuola ormai composta in parte minoritaria da bambini italofoni. E poi la religione che si fra trama di scontro invece che di unione. Qui le cose sono accadute senza che nessuno pensasse come dovessero accadere. In ultimo, la decisione della sindaca Anna Cisint di chiudere i centri islamici per irregolarità amministrative ha creato dibattito e polemiche. Ma lei va avanti e spiega che non si tratta di un divieto di culto ma solo di ordinanze che mirano fare rispettare la legalità.

Un'occhiata provocante e ironica sull'attualità, Il tutto in un grande dibattito animato dalla Community dei Cazzari!
There are approximately 2.7 million Muslims living in Italy, which amounts to about 4.9 percent of the population, a community that is being targeted by the current coalition government led by the right-wing Brothers of Italy party. They are the second largest religious group in the country after Christians, but local governments and mayors frequently impose restrictions on their right to practice their religion. This is the case in Monfalcone, a town in the Northern part of the peninsula. Our correspondent in Italy tells us more.

Vor elf Jahren machte Billo Heinzpeter Studer seinen Bubentraum wahr und zog ins italienische Friaul ans Meer. Die ersten Jahre lebte er direkt am nördlichsten Strand des Mittelmeers, in Monfalcone. Heute wohnt er am Fusse der friaulischen Alpen. Billo Heinzpeter Studer war bis vor kurzem Leiter und Präsident einer internationalen Organisation, die sich für das Wohl der Fische einsetzt. Jetzt mit 76 Jahren hat er sein Amt niedergelegt und findet endlich Zeit seiner eigentlichen Passion, dem Schreiben nachzugehen: «Ich bin selbständiger Autor, Buchgestalter und Kleinstverleger.» Aktuell publizierte der Winterthurer zwei Kinderbücher. Sie sensibilisieren Kinder auf die weltweite Überfischung und das Leiden der Fische. Die Natur direkt vor der Haustüre Billo lebt am Stadtrand von Cividale del Friuli mitten im Grünen: Die historische Stadt ist bekannt für ihre sagenumwobene Teufelsbrücke «Ponte del Diavolo», die sich heroisch über den Fluss Natisone spannt. Billo geniesst die Ruhe auf der friaulischen Ebene. Seine treue Wegbegleiterin ist seine Katze: «Sie braucht viel Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit.»

(129 - 320) Dove scopriamo che i commercialisti hanno qualche problema con l'intelligenza artificiale. Probabilmente non riusciremo a rispettare gli obiettivi del PNRR anche perché la pubblica amministrazione non ce la fa per carenza di personale. Abbiamo chiesto ad ascoltatrici e ascoltatori se hanno la sensazione anche loro che nella P.A. il personale sia insufficiente. Come ogni giovedì veniamo convocati in Presidenza e oggi andiamo a Monfalcone con il prof. Vincenzo Caico dirigente scolastico del Liceo Buonarroti.
Nella puntata di oggi ci spostiamo in una terra di confine. Ci troviamo sull'aspro promontorio carsico: da un lato il mare Adriatico, dall'altro la macchia mediterranea con i suoi profumi tipici. Le falesie a picco sul mare, sferzate dal vento di Bora, fanno da cornice a Trieste, città sospesa tra passato e presente. Qui ci attende Sara Gama, il volto della nazionale di calcio femminile e della Juventus, che ci insegna a prendere un caffè alla triestina. Restiamo a Trieste per conoscere gli chef di Harry's Piccolo, due stelle Michelin: Matteo Metullio, il più giovane chef stellato d'Italia e Davide De Pra. Dopo una breve parentesi a Cremona, dove ci attende Stefano Pellicciardi organizzatore dell'evento caseario "Formaggi & Sorrisi, cheese friend festival", riprendiamo il nostro viaggio alla scoperta di un prodotto tipico del Carso che, tra l'altro, con i formaggi ci sta proprio bene! Lasciamo Trieste e ci dirigiamo a nord, seguendo la strada costiera: a Duino, ci aspetta per aprirci le porte della sua azienda agricola Aleš Pernarčič, referente degli apicoltori del presidio Slow Food del Miele di Marasca del Carso. Lasciamo Duino e concludiamo questo viaggio nel Carso proseguendo sulla Strada Statale 14, direzione nord, per pochi chilometri. Per l'ultima tappa, arriviamo a Monfalcone dove ad attenderci ci sono gli allievi dell'Istituto Alberghiero "Pertini" e il loro docente di enogastronomia Massimiliano Spaziani.

Princess Cruises Hotel General Manager Simona Stumberger was selected to serve in this special role as an ambassador for Princess, because she epitomizes professionalism and always delivers service with a smile.A native of Slovenia where Stumberger studied hospitality management, she began her career at sea in the bar department and further diversified her hotel experience by working in guest services, and hand in hand with the hotel and food and beverage divisions.

This creates a uniquely entrancing and customisable experience as guests control their own volume and switch between channels to hear different genres of music.This new offering also enables Cunard to take the nightclub proposition out of the main venues and into more unexpected places – transforming areas with parties in the Grand Lobby, on deck or other pop-up locations around the ship.And more...Join the show:If you have a cruise tip, burning question or want to record a cruise review get in touch with us via the website https://thebigcruisepodcast.com/join-the-show/ Guests: Chris Frame: https://bit.ly/3a4aBCg Chris's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisFrameOfficialListen & Subscribe: Amazon Podcasts: https://amzn.to/3w40cDcApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2XvD7tF Audible: https://adbl.co/3nDvuNgCastbox: https://bit.ly/2xkGBEI Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/2RuY04u I heart Radio: https://ihr.fm/3mVIEUASpotify: https://spoti.fi/3caCwl8 Stitcher: https://bit.ly/2JWE8Tz Pocket casts: https://bit.ly/2JY4J2M Tune in: https://bit.ly/2V0Jrrs Podcast Addict: https://bit.ly/2BF6LnE Hosted on Acast.

Continua ad accompagnare il pubblico fino al 2 agosto la tredicesima edizione dell'Aquileia Film festival, la rassegna di cinema, arte e archeologia, che anima Aquileia con film, conversazioni e libri sul palcoscenico naturale di Piazza Capitolo. Tutte le serate iniziano alle 21.00 e sono a ingresso gratuito con prenotazione obbligatoria sulla piattaforma Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.it Qui un approfondimento con Roberto Corciulo, presidente della Fondazione Aquileia ospite ai nostri microfoni, qui l'intervista: OMAGGIO A PASOLINI – 26 LUGLIO Il Festival ha inaugurato martedì 26 luglio con una serata-evento dedicata al centenario dalla nascita di Pier Paolo Pasolini in collaborazione con La Cineteca Del Friuli. Visione di “Medea”, pietra miliare della storia del cinema italiano, realizzata nel 1969 e diretta da Pasolini che rilegge il mito e affida la parte della protagonista alla “divina” Maria Callas. Il suo intento è riflettere sull'incontro-scontro tra culture diverse rappresentate da Medea e Giasone. Le riprese esterne furono girate anche nella laguna di Grado, luogo scoperto grazie all'amicizia con il pittore friulano Giuseppe Zigaina, che lo portò in visita anche agli scavi e alla basilica di Aquileia. Ne parleremo con la figlia Alessandra Zigaina, giornalista e con la professoressa Francesca Agostinelli, curatrice della mostra attualmente in corso a Grado dedicata ai disegni inediti di Pasolini. Conduce l'incontro Elena Commessatti, giornalista e scrittrice, che ci porterà alla scoperta di un Pasolini intimo e inedito. LE SERATE DELL'ARCHEOLOGIA – 27-28-29 LUGLIO Film e conversazioni sotto le stelle si alterneranno sul palco davanti alla basilica dei Patriarchi per un'edizione che entrerà nel vivo delle serate dell'archeologia il 27 luglio e proporrà cinque film in concorso, tra i quali gli spettatori sceglieranno il vincitore del Premio Aquileia, un mosaico opera della Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli. Mercoledì 27 luglio il pubblico potrà lasciarsi catturare dall'affascinante avventura dell'archeologia subacquea nel Mediterraneo raccontata nel film Thalassa, il racconto e scoprire la minaccia di una eruzione nei Campi Flegrei che metterebbe in pericolo i milioni di residenti della città di Napoli grazie alle ricerche degli scienziati protagonisti del documentario La prossima Pompei. Giovedì 28 luglio si viaggerà tra gli antichi porti dell'impero romano, da Narbo Martius, importante colonia nel sud della Francia descritta in Narbonne, la seconda Roma a Portus (Ostia antica) protagonista del cortometraggio "Ecco che cominciamo a dipinger con la pietra". L'acqua, elemento determinante e preziosa risorsa che ha consentito lo sviluppo di città e aree strategiche dell'impero romano, tra cui Aquileia, sarà il filo conduttore delle due serate e l'elemento attorno a cui si svilupperanno i dialoghi condotti da Piero Pruneti, direttore di Archeologia Viva. Ospiti sul palco del Festival mercoledì 27 luglio Paolo Giulierini, direttore del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli e Fabio Pagano, direttore parco archeologico Campi Flegrei mentre giovedì 28 luglio i protagonisti saranno Marta Novello, direttrice del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Aquileia insieme a Edino Valcovich e Chiara Mistelli, referenti del MuCa - Museo della Cantieristica di Monfalcone. Venerdì 29 luglio il Festival entra nella stretta attualità e attraverso il film “Il giuramento di Ciriaco” di Olivier Bourgeois, interamente girato dentro al Museo archeologico di Aleppo durante la guerra civile in Siria del 2011, vuole rilanciare un messaggio di speranza perché la cultura intesa come conoscenza dell'altro può e deve essere un'alternativa ai conflitti che coinvolgono l'umanità. La pellicola mostra per la prima volta al pubblico la corsa contro il tempo di archeologi, operai e custodi che dieci anni fa portarono in salvo 24.000 reperti del Museo di Aleppo sotto i bombardamenti mettendo al sicuro un patrimonio archeologico fondamentale per la storia del...
Ospite ai nostri microfoni il Sindaco di Monfalcone Anna Maria Cisint per gli aggiornamenti sull'incendio che da martedì 19 luglio sta interessando il Carso (aggiornamento venerdì 22/07 ore 12). Qui l'intervista: Situazione incendi - Aggiornamento (ore 12.11) della Protezione Civile della Regione Autonoma FVG (pagina Facebook qui): La circolazione è tornata a scorrere su tutta la rete di Autovie Venete. Viabilità in tempo reale su (www.infoviaggiando.it) Per i tratti interessati dall'incendio di Resia (www.fvgstrade.it) Ripresa la circolazione dei treni tratto Monfalcone - Trieste (www.rfi.it) Continuano incessanti le attività di spegnimento dei Vigili del Fuoco con il supporto dei nostri volontari AIB che ieri 21.07 erano attivi in 249 con 98 mezzi sia nel territorio del Carso che a Resia, con anche il presidio delle abitazioni nella zona di Jamiano e Medeazza; Presenti nelle attività di spegnimento; 2 canadair nel territorio interessato dall'incendio di Resia; 4 elicotteri di Protezione Civile della Regione Autonoma FVG di cui 1 a Resia e 3 nel territorio interessato dall'incendio del Carso; 1 elicottero vvf di Trento; Sempre attiva la SOR - Sala Operativa Regionale per la costante attivazione e il coordinamento delle azioni delle varie componenti del Sistema regionale di Protezione Civile.

Italia nella morsa del caldo e degli incendi. Le fiamme che tengono sotto scacco la zona del Carso hanno portato alla chiusura temporanea di tratti di autostrada e a centinaia di evacuazioni.
Il turismo delle navi bianche a Trieste e Monfalcone sembra essere ormai esploso, con previsioni di oltre 500mila passeggeri ed ora anche uno studio che esamina la possibilità di ormeggiare fino a otto navi nella stessa giornata. Nord Adriatico Magazine, il periodico dedicato al mare in tutte le sue declinazioni, dedica la copertina del nuovo numero in edicola in questi giorni al business crocieristico, cercando di mettere a fuoco prospettive e benefici per le due città regionali coinvolte dagli approdi settimanali dei giganti del mare. Ne parliamo con Silvio Maranzana direttore di Nord Adriatico Magazine in questa intervista di Barbara Pernar: Nello stesso numero la salute di mari e oceani al centro di due servizi: un'indagine sui cambiamenti nell'ecosistema marino dell'Adriatico attraverso i monitoraggi effettuati dall'Ogs di Trieste per mezzo di sensori, boe e alianti sottomarini e il problema di grande attualità della proliferazione delle meduse, che sottraggono fra l'altro nutrimento ai pesci. Per la rubrica i mestieri del mare sotto la lente due professioni “invisibili” ma di grande importanza per preservare vite umane: il perito compensatore di bussola e il consulente chimico di porto, mentre il focus sulle società nautiche triestine questa volta è dedicato alla Triestina della vela, uno dei club più prestigiosi della città a un passo da entrare nel “salotto buono” dei club sportivi centenari di Trieste.

Il taglio delle forniture di gas da Mosca prosegue. La situazione preoccupa, anche se per ora le ricadute non sono evidenti. Ma se i tagli dovessero proseguire a lungo, potrebbe essere messo ulteriormente a rischio il meccanismo degli stoccaggi, ovvero le riserve di gas che serviranno per l'inverno, già ora in rallentamento per gli alti prezzi del gas. Abbiamo parlato della situazione con Dario Soria, direttore generale Assocostieri. Emergenza siccità, la situazione in Piemonte L'emergenza siccità si fa sempre più grave, dopo una primavera che Coldiretti registra come la sesta più calda di sempre sul pianeta a livello climatico, il Po mai così in secca e le previsioni che annunciano ancora lunghe giornate senza piogge. Ragione per la quale il governo è chiamato ad intervenire. In settimana è prevista una riunione per analizzare la situazione e valutare eventuali misure per far fronte all emergenza. Abbiamo analizzato la situazione in una delle Regioni più colpite, il Piemonte, con il presidente Alberto Cirio.

Abbiamo parlato con Cosulich per capire gli sviluppi della situazione e lo stato del mercato marittimo globale.

The Cruise Line has also incorporated several guest favourites including thermal experiences and hot-stone loungers.Industry's First Charcoal Sauna at SeaAs part of the ongoing only-found-on-NCL's Prima Class holiday experiences such as the world's first three-level racetrack at sea and dry drop slides, the Brand will unveil the industry's first charcoal sauna. Derived from Japanese and Korean wellness practices, the charcoal sauna uses a radiant heat system with an outer charcoal layer to reach temperatures between 86-122 degrees Fahrenheit (30-50oC). Guests can recline into relaxation as the sauna helps boost circulation and metabolism while also removing toxins from the body. The sauna also effectively treats muscle stiffness and tension, including relief from backache, headache, and arthritis, by promoting the deep release of connective tissue and muscles. Thermal ExperiencesThe charcoal sauna is just one of eight thermal spa offerings available at the elevated Mandara Spa. Guests can also indulge in a series of blissful experiences such as a salt and steam room, as well as a gambit of Brand-first spa experiences including an Ice Room, Experiential Showers, a Flotation Salt Pool and Infrared Sauna.The Ice Room: After unwinding in the sauna or steam bath, guests can cool off in the refreshing Ice Room. The cold air helps to increase blood circulation, invigorate the respiratory tract, and strengthen the immune system. The Experiential Showers: Multiple water jets and lighting effects help invigorate the body, lower body temperature, and stimulate blood circulation.Floatation Salt Pool: This treatment allows guests to fully relax all of their muscles while floating in warm water. An experience similar to experiencing zero gravity due to the buoyancy of the saltwater, the Floatation Salt Pool is beneficial for easing mental anxiety and muscle tension. Infrared Sauna: Unlike traditional saunas that use conventional heat to warm the air, infrared saunas utilise infrared lamps to directly warm the body — and at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. This promotes relaxation, better sleep, sore muscle and joint relief, improved blood circulation, and detoxification.Royal Caribbean Group and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Recommit to PartnershipRoyal Caribbean Group, announced its new commitment to the next phase of its ongoing partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for guidance and counsel in establishing bold environmental goals and sustainable business practices.Royal Caribbean Group first partnered with WWF in 2016.

È uscito il nuovo numero di Nord Adriatico Magazine, periodico di economia e storia del golfo di Trieste e Monfalcone, il cui argomento di copertina indaga il momento particolare del Porto di Trieste che, se da un lato punta sulle sinergie fra industria, logistica e turismo per il suo sviluppo futuro, dall'altro deve guardarsi dall'agguerrita concorrenza dei porti dell'Est, Capodistria e Fiume in testa. Fari puntati, inoltre, sull'oleodotto transalpino della Siot, sui suoi record e su un futuro tutto da scrivere, dato che la transizione ecologica in atto imporrà la ricerca di soluzioni alternative al business petrolifero, mentre la rubrica dei mestieri del mare questa volta racconta il lavoro e i compiti degli uomini e delle donne impiegati alla Capitaneria di Porto di Trieste. Ci si “immerge” poi nella storia del Circolo sommozzatori Trieste, nei fondali marini del golfo per scoprire un progetto dell'Area marina di Miramare per il loro rimboschimento, e nel futuro Museo archeologico del mare che sorgerà a Grado. In sommario, inoltre, servizi su Trieste capitale mondiale del caffè, sulla tragica storia della famiglia von Hutterott, che ebbe un ruolo significativo nel futuro turismo rovignese, sul nuovo museo della città di Fiume ricavato dalla ristrutturazione dell'antico zuccherificio della città quarnerina, e la quarta puntata del viaggio nella storia, nella bellezza e negli aneddoti del Castello di Miramare. Infine, un servizio sull'acceso dibattito sorto in città dal progetto della cabinovia che dovrebbe collegare il Porto Vecchio al Carso triestino. Per i lettori in regalo un'altra serie di cartoline storiche da collezione, stavolta dedicate all'Istria e a Fiume, grazie al supporto dell'Università Popolare.

Based on detailed guest surveys and market research, the company has developed a new concept for its cruises to meet the changing needs of its guests.More than 200 improvements – large and small – will ensure that A-ROSA, currently a premium operator, becomes a ‘PremiumPLUS' operator from the 2023 season onwards. Taking into account the entire customer journey – before, during and after travel – the company will focus on making its cruises more customizable, as well as providing even better service, improving its culinary offering, becoming more family-friendly and developing its well-being portfolio. A-ROSA also plans to place greater importance on sustainability and on offering authentic experiences at its destinations.Authentic, personalised experiences in the cruise regionsAnother new area of focus for A-ROSA's city breaks by ship is helping guests experience the different destinations in an authentic way. They'll have the opportunity to get to know chefs, artists and local people from the various regions. A-ROSA will also introduce Destination Scouts. This innovative idea involves locals advising guests visiting their hometown on how to get the most out of their trip. “We'll be looking for people from the cities we call at who can give our guests insider tips about the best places to eat or shop and the best current exhibitions, concerts and events,” explained Eichler. “This will give our guests a really in-depth experience of the region and provide insight into local life beyond the tourist areas.”When it comes to excursions, there will also be a focus on personalised experiences. With 500 different excursions available, there will be something for everyone. Guests who book excursions in the new ‘exclusive tours' category will enjoy individual tours with a vehicle and driver plus their own tour guide. One particular highlight is the half-day excursion with dinner, which will be included in the cruise price from 2023 and guarantees guests an unforgettable evening.More entertainment and relaxationA-ROSA's onboard entertainment programme is set to provide even more value from 2023. Cruises with a duration of five nights or more will include an evening concert, while cruises lasting seven nights or more will feature two. Cruises of nine nights or longer will also have a subject-matter expert on board to give lectures about the destinations. The musical artists will either come from or be influenced by the cruise regions. Through their music – whether traditional songs or global hits – they'll convey the artistic flair of their homeland to the guests.A-ROSA is also responding to its guests' desire for more relaxation and well-being by widening the range of activities available. The SPA-ROSA will provide new treatments and massages, while yoga and fitness classes will be added to the onboard programme. As well as going on guided bike tours, guests will also be able to borrow e-bikes and explore destinations on their own. What's more, as the industry's only provider of family cruises, A-ROSA will also be extending its offering for children. “As well as running dedicated family cruises during the school holidays, we'll provide a Kids Club with organised activities on almost all our ships if there are more than ten children on board,” explained Eichler.Focusing on sustainability“When we were working on our realignment plan, it quickly became clear that sustainability would play a central role,” said Eichler. “A-ROSA has always been involved in environmental and social actions, but taking responsibility will be a special area of focus for us in the future.” With this in mind, A-ROSA opened its own sustainability department on 1 February 2022. Department head Sandra Wendland introduced herself at the press conference. “We've brought a high-level partner on board – the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research – and we'll be working together to develop an integrated, long-term sustainability strategy for A-ROSA,” explained Wendland. The plan for the next twelve months is to determine A-ROSA's current sustainability footprint and, on the basis of field analyses and stakeholder surveys, create a clear roadmap to 2030, which will set out indicators, actions to take and targets. “We'll be presenting the entire development and implementation process in a transparent way, and the roadmap will be unveiled at the start of the 2023 season,” concluded Wendland.Viking Mississippi Floats Viking® celebrated the new 386-guest Viking Mississippi® was “floated out” in Louisiana, marking a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water. Set to debut in June 2022, the Viking Mississippi will sail Viking's highly-anticipated voyages on the Lower and Upper Mississippi River, between New Orleans and St. Paul.The traditional float out took place at Edison Chouest Offshore's LaShip shipyard in Houma, Louisiana and is significant because it denotes a ship moving into its final stage of construction. In keeping with maritime tradition, the ship's ceremonial godmother, Dionne Chouest, General Counsel of Edison Chouest Offshore, assisted with the float out.Viking's arrival to the Mississippi will represent a major commitment to tourism and economic development in many communities along the river, with the new voyages expected to bring more than 7,500 guests to the region in 2022 and 17,600+ during the first full sailing season in 2023. Currently scheduled ports of call on Viking's new Mississippi River itineraries comprise seven U.S. states: Louisiana (Baton Rouge, Darrow, New Orleans and St. Francisville); Mississippi (Natchez and Vicksburg); Tennessee (Memphis); Missouri (Hannibal, St. Louis); Iowa (Burlington, Dubuque and Davenport); Wisconsin (La Crosse); and Minnesota (Red Wing, St. Paul).The Viking Mississippi Hosting 386 guests in 193 all outside staterooms, the new state-of-the-art Viking Mississippi is inspired by Viking's award-winning river and ocean ships and will feature elegant Scandinavian design, as well as public spaces that are familiar to guests but reimagined for Mississippi River voyages.

In this episode I sit down with Renato Subotic who is the head coach of MMAFFT (MMA Family Fight Team). In this conversation I could really sense his passion for mixed martial arts and in reflecting upon his story, Martial arts was a way for him to prove himself as a kid, gain respect but most importantly it brought people together. I think the commonality I have found in great coaches (like great leaders) has been their investment into the wellbeing and development of their people. We talk about a range of topics in this conversation from his Serbian parents who moved to Slovenia for better opportunities to growing up in Monfalcone in Italy, transitioning from athlete to coach, coping with losses and much more.

Trieste, una città che dal mare ha avuto molto nel suo passato e sul quale si gioca un buona fetta del proprio futuro, ma la cui letteratura dedicata al mare risulta però, secondo alcuni critici, sorprendentemente scarna. Un tema questo che sarà al centro dell'incontro "Il mare nella letteratura triestina" organizzato da Nord Adriatico Magazine, in programma giovedì 27 gennaio alle 17.30 al Caffè degli Specchi di Trieste. Ospite ai nostri microfoni è Silvio Maranzana direttore di Nord Adriatico Magazine, periodico di economia e storia del Golfo di Trieste, Monfalcone e del Litorale che nel nuovo numero si collega ai temi e argomenti dell'incontro. Nasce per occuparsi in particolare del Porto di Trieste e ampliatosi poi nel tempo per occuparsi di tutte le tematiche legate al mare e si avvicina a compiere 3 anni. Qui l'intervista dove abbiamo voluto approfondire i punti principali che verranno trattati: All'incontro interverranno Cristina Benussi, critico letterario, Mario ?uk, giornalista e scrittore, Chiara Mattioni, scrittrice, e, in collegamento da remoto, Riccardo Cepach, curatore dei Musei Svevo e Joyce. Il dibattito sarà moderato dal giornalista e scrittore Alessandro Mezzena Lona. Nel corso della serata il direttore di Nord Adriatico Magazine, Silvio Maranzana, illustrerà l'ultimo numero della rivista. Accesso libero con green pass "rafforzato" Aggiornamenti disponibili sulla pagina Facebook Nord Adriatico Magazine

Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises, and Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line, spoke to what the positive multidimensional impact the resumption of cruising means to Seattle, the local community and Alaska.Holland America Line will kicked off its Alaska season with Nieuw Amsterdam setting sail, July 24, and Princess Cruises followed with Majestic Princess sailing on July 25. Each line will operate ten cruises sailing out of Seattle through September. This marks the return to cruising and Alaska for both lines, which combined have more than 125 years of experience bringing cruisers to The Great Land. Historically, one in two guests who cruise to Alaska sail on Princess or Holland America.Both cruise lines have been homeporting out of the Port of Seattle for more than 20 years. Operationally, each ship visit directly contributes more than $364,000 to the local economy in provisioning (fuel, food, flowers, piano tuning, supplies), port taxes, and spending during a full season.Princess Cruises is the world's leading international premium cruise line and tour company operating a fleet of 14 modern cruise ships to 380 destinations around the globe. Princess celebrates more than 50 years sailing to Alaska, bringing more guests to the Great Land than any other cruise line. Holland America Line has been exploring the world since 1873 and was the first cruise line to offer adventures to Alaska and the Yukon nearly 75 years ago. Its fleet of premium ships visits more than 400 ports in 98 countries around the world, offering an ideal mid-sized ship experience.Princess Cruises Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Shore Power in JuneauPrincess Cruises made history when the cruise line introduced its revolutionary shore power program and began operations in partnership with the City and Borough of Juneau and Alaska Electric Light and Power Company in the summer of 2001. Now, 20 years later when Princess Cruises vessels arrive at the Franklin Dock, ships continue to “plug in” to local surplus hydroelectric power and turn off the diesel engines, reducing the impact of visible air emissions and the cruise line's carbon footprint in an effort applauded by local government officials and the residents of the capital city.The 20th anniversary milestone was recognized as Majestic Princess made her maiden call to the port of Juneau and commissioned to connect to the Juneau electrical grid. Princess Cruises President Jan Swartz, Majestic Princess Captain Dino Sagani, Alaska Electric Light and Power Company President and General Manager Connie Hulbert and Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon and City Manager Rorie Watt were in attendance.“Shore power in Juneau has been a significant win-win situation, not only for Princess but also for the customers of Alaska Electric Light and Power Company and the residents of the City and Borough of Juneau who have been incredible partners over the last 20 years,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. “Our beneficial collaboration has paved the way for the cruise industry to reduce air emissions and allow cruise ships to ‘plug in.'”In addition to this investment, for the past 20 years, every dollar spent by Princess for purchasing electrical energy in Juneau has been credited to a cost of power adjustment, or COPA account. This credit is used to offset any diesel expenses in the next quarter, and any extra funds go back to residents and businesses in Juneau in the form of a rebate on electric bills. To date, this has benefitted the Juneau community by $8.5 million dollars.Each year, Princess ships plug in more than 300 shore power connections. This ground-breaking technology has now grown and is used by various cruise lines in port cities including Seattle (2005), Vancouver (2009), San Diego (2010), San Francisco (2010), Los Angeles (2011), New York (2012) and Halifax (2014), as well as internationally in Shanghai and Kristiansand, Norway, with more and more port cities becoming shore power enabled.The length of time needed to connect a ship to shore power and shut down the vessel's diesel generator is approximately 40 minutes after the ship has been secured at the dock. Once connected, the ship's engines are powered down and the ships relies on the local power system for all ship's services while in port. Holland America Line Takes Delivery of Highly Anticipated New Ship Rotterdam from FincantieriHolland America Line took delivery of Rotterdam today, July 30, 2021, officially making it the 11th ship in the fleet. A handover ceremony took place at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in ItalyThe ceremony was attended by the ship's master, Captain Werner Timmers, and Cyril Tatar, Holland America Group's vice president of newbuilding services. Giuseppe Bono, CEO, Fincantieri, and several other executives also attended. Video congratulations were extended by Jan Swartz, president of Holland America Group, and Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line.Upon delivery, Rotterdam will remain in non-guest operations until its transatlantic crossing Oct. 20, 2021, from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it will then begin its maiden season in the Caribbean. Naming details have not been finalized and will be announced at a later date.The third vessel in the Pinnacle Class series and the seventh ship to bear the name for Holland America Line, Rotterdam will carry 2,668 guests and feature highly successful amenities and innovations introduced with her sister ships.Holland America Line's first ship was Rotterdam, which sailed its maiden voyage from the Netherlands to New York on Oct. 15, 1872, and led to the founding of the company on April 18, 1873. Rotterdam II was built in 1878 for British Ship Owners Co. and purchased by Holland America Line in 1886. Rotterdam III came along in 1897 and was with the company until 1906. The fourth Rotterdam joined the fleet in 1908 and also served as a troop carrier when World War I ended. Following the war it made regular cruises from New York to the Mediterranean.Rotterdam V, also known as “The Grande Dame,” set sail in 1959 and began sailing transatlantic crossings with two classes of service. It later converted to a one-class ship in 1969. She sailed with Holland America Line for 38 years until 1997, including several Grand World Voyages, and currently is a hotel and museum in the city of Rotterdam. Rotterdam VI, the most recent to cruise for Holland America Line, was introduced in 1997 as the first ship in the R Class.Rotterdam VII is the 17th ship constructed for the brand by Italian shipyard Fincantieri.Norwegian Cruise Line returns to cruiseNorwegian Cruise Line (NCL), officially commemorated its highly-anticipated cruise comeback on 25 July, 2021 with a double debut: Norwegian Jade was not only the first of its 17-ship fleet to welcome guests after 500 days, she also made NCL history as the first vessel to homeport in Athens (Piraeus).Until November 2021, guests sailing aboard Norwegian Jade's immersive Greek Isles itinerary will wake up in a new destination every day, able to spend eight-to-nine hours exploring some of Greece's most picturesque islands including luxurious Crete, bustling Mykonos, historical Rhodes and the iconic blue and white Santorini.Norwegian Jade is the first ship to recommence voyages as part NCL's larger restart efforts. On 7 August, 2021, Norwegian Encore will be the first ship to return to service from the U.S., when she debuts in Seattle for her inaugural season of Alaska cruises. The fleetwide redeployment will continue in partnership with local governments and are guided by the robust protocols of the Company's Sail Safe health and safety program, which at its cornerstone includes that all crew and guests must be fully vaccinated to embark for voyages through 31 October, 2021. Working with the leading experts of the Sail Safe Global Health and Wellness Council, the robust protocols will regularly be evaluated and modified as needed, making science-based decisions to protect guests, crew and the destinations it visits.MSC Seashore Delivered The Cruise Division of MSC Group has officially taken delivery of its new flagship MSC Seashore – the largest cruise ship to be built in Italy. Sister ship MSC Seascape is currently under construction at the Monfalcone shipyard and is due to come into service in winter 2022.An intimate ceremony was held to mark the occasion as tradition dictates at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone and was attended in person by MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago, other members of the Aponte and Aponte-Vago families, Giampiero Massolo and Giuseppe Bono, Chairman and CEO of Fincantieri, as well as representatives from MSC's new builds team along with executives and workers from the shipyard.

It can be used to generate electrical power through a fuel cell, emitting only water vapor and heat. This type of ‘green' hydrogen holds great potential to contribute to the decarbonisation of the shipping industry, including cruising, whether in its pure form or as a hydrogen-derived fuel.Azamara Quest departs from Glasgow Ahead of the Brand's Return to ServiceAzamara, today announced that Azamara Quest® was the first of its ships to depart from Glasgow's Peel Port (King George V Dock), on the afternoon of July 26th, following thirteen months docked in the Scottish city.For over a year, Glasgow has been a safe haven for three of Azamara's fleet, Azamara Quest®, Azamara Journey® and Azamara Pursuit®, and in this time the ships and crew have enjoyed fantastic support from the local people and the authorities, businesses, including taxi companies, hotel owners and grocery stores.The ship sails for drydock in Cadiz, Spain to finalize preparations ahead of its return to service in August with five back-to-back Greece Country-Intensive® Voyages®; each seven-nights in length and a total of 18-late nights in port, including Santorini, Rhodes and Heraklion, Greece.

The only two vessels in the world to be successfully repurposed to provide temporary accommodations for recovered COVID-19 migrant workers, Star Cruises set a new milestone for Singapore and globally, as well as for the cruise industry in its joint-effort to fight against the pandemic.Meeting Singapore's strict requirements for this first-of-a-kind special initiative last year, Star Cruises was able to participate and effectively contribute towards creating an alternative accommodation option for Singapore to temporarily house its recovered COVID-19 migrant workers in a safe and comfortable environment on board the two ships.

Cambiano le modalità di pagamento per il canone Rai. Seguendo gli impegni presi con l'Unione Europea con il Pnrr, il canone Rai dovrebbe, infatti, uscire dalla bolletta elettrica. Il tutto, in ottemperanza alla richiesta di Bruxelles di eliminare gli oneri impropri dai conti sull'energia, è previsto nel disegno di legge sulla Concorrenza. Nel mese di giugno 2021 la domanda di energia elettrica in Italia è stata di 27,4 miliardi di kilowatt, coperta per il 42% dalle fonti rinnovabili. Secondo le analisi di Terna, la Società che gestisce la rete elettrica di trasmissione nazionale, il valore di fabbisogno risulta in crescita del'1,9% rispetto a maggio scorso e superiore del 13,8% sui volumi di giugno 2020, mese influenzato dai cali dovuti alle iniziative messe in atto per contenere la pandemia. Il 35% degli occupati cancellati nel 2020 è straniero (160 mila unità su 450 mila totali). In aggiunta, è cresciuto anche il tasso di inattività tra i lavoratori non italiani: e cioè del 15,1% per gli extra Ue e del 18,7% per i comunitari. A renderlo noto è il rapporto “gli stranieri nel mercato del lavoro in Italia”, edizione 2021, pubblicato sul sito del Ministero del Lavoro. Lo studio analizza le condizioni dei lavoratori stranieri e gli effetti sugli stessi del Covid e vi si legge che il calo dell'occupazione, il parallelo travaso nell'inattività e l'allargamento della povertà legati alla pandemia, colpiscono in modo sproporzionato i lavoratori migranti in Italia. Consegnata la nave da crociera più grande mai costruita in Italia: è la nuova ammiraglia MSC Seashore, costruita nei cantieri navali della Fincantieri a Monfalcone. Una gemella della Seashore, la Seascape è già in costruzione negli stessi cantieri navali di Monfalcone; la sua entrata in servizio è prevista per l'inverno 2022.

Guests were able to enter the water in small numbers and with tightly managed protocols to share eye to eye encounters with these unique and curious creatures.On day five, the GBR Legacy team assisted Dr Birtles and the Minke Whale Project and experienced a 4-hour encounter with some great passes from a mother and calf, the longest known engagement of a cow and calf with a vessel.

It signals the commitment to revitalization following the economic challenges first introduced by the devasting impact of Hurricane Dorian and then worsened amid the global pandemic shutdowns. Freeport Harbour is thrilled to serve as the newest homeport destination responsible for major provisioning and refuelling before the vessel returns to Nassau.Adventure of the Seas debuted its seven-night getaways from Nassau on June 12, which feature two back-to-back days of thrills at Perfect Day at CocoCay, adventures in Cozumel and a full day of unwinding on Grand Bahama's white-sand beaches every Saturday throughout the northern summer.Luxe-adventure Cruise Brand to Offer First Suite-category Accommodations for Single TravelersAtlas Ocean Voyages announced that it is introducing the industry's first dedicated Solo Suites.

These three words captured the feeling of passengers and onlookers as Celebrity Apex, the world's most anticipated new-luxury cruise ship, sailed out of the Port of Athens, today, to begin her maiden voyage and first summer season in the Aegean.The much-anticipated sailing marks an historic moment for the company, which had originally planned to introduce its newest ship in late March, 2020. Guests and fans of the brand have waited ever-since with huge anticipation to experience the fleet's new flagship.That moment came as Celebrity Apex sailed gracefully out of port at 8:30pm Eastern European Summer Time, ushering in not only an important return to European sailing, but a new standard of luxury travel. With the vivid and vibrant backdrop of the azure Athens sky, Celebrity Apex, the second ship in the brand's transformational, multi-award-winning Edge Series, set sail on a seven-night cruise of the historied Aegean, delighting those who have waited with patience for more than 15 months to explore the world by sea.

(the “Company”) (NYSE: NCLH), a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands, has announced the creation of its long-term climate action strategy and goal to reach carbon neutrality through reducing carbon intensity, identifying and investing in technology including exploring alternative fuels and implementing a voluntary carbon offset program. In addition to ongoing initiatives to reduce its emissions rate, the Company has committed to offset three million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) over a three-year period beginning in 2021 to help bridge the gap in its decarbonisation efforts until new technology becomes available. As part of the Company's global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain, combatting climate change is a material focus and the Company previously signed the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) historic commitment to reduce the carbon emissions rate industry-wide by 40% by 2030, from a 2008 baseline.Long-Term Climate Action Strategy – The three focus areas of the Company's long-term climate action strategy include:Reduce Carbon Intensity. The Company continually seeks opportunities to reduce its overall footprint by minimising fuel consumption and increasing energy efficiency. Ongoing investments in systems and technologies have resulted in a reduction of fuel consumption per capacity day of approximately 17% from 2008 to 2019 for the entire 28-ship fleet. In addition, the Company achieved an estimated approximately 14% reduction in CO2 emissions per capacity day across its fleet, between 2015 and 2019. As nine new and more fuel-efficient vessels are introduced to the fleet through 2027, this rate is expected to further decrease.Invest in Technology & Explore Alternative Fuels. The Company has partnered with CLIA and other maritime organisations to propose the establishment of a collaborative shipping research and development fund dedicated to the ultimate goal of eliminating CO2 emissions from international shipping. If approved, funding would come from a contribution per tonne of marine fuel purchased for consumption and is expected to amount to US$5 billion over a 10-year period. These funds will be used to finance the development of zero and near-zero GHG fuels and propulsion technologies. As new alternative fuel sources become available at sufficient scale in the future, the Company will evaluate how these can accelerate its long-term carbon reduction strategy.Implement Voluntary Carbon Offset Program. The Company has announced its commitment to purchase carbon credits to offset three million MTCO2e over a three-year period to help bridge the gap in decarbonisation efforts until new technology becomes available. Offset purchases are expected to ramp up in future years to reach the goal of carbon neutrality.Carnival Cruise Line To Grow Fleet By Two Additional Ships By 2023Carnival Cruise Line announced plans today to grow its fleet by two additional ships by 2023, taking the delivery position of an Excel-class ship that had previously been assigned to sister line AIDA Cruises that will arrive in late 2023, as well as taking ownership of Costa Magica from another of its European sister lines, with that ship going through a dry dock, renaming and Carnival-branded conversion and joining the fleet by mid-2022.These two ships are in addition to the new capacity growth represented by Mardi Gras, Carnival's first Excel-class, liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered ship which starts sailing from Port Canaveral on July 31 and her sister ship, Carnival Celebration, which will be delivered and sail from Miami starting in late 2022, as part of Carnival's 50th birthday festivities.The addition of these four ships will bring the Carnival fleet to 27 by year-end 2023, and these ships bring many new amenities and features for guests, as well as environmental benefits and enhancements as Carnival continues to exceed and expand targets for emissions efficiencies.Regent Seven Seas Cruises Names Newest Ship Seven Seas GrandeurRegent Seven Seas Cruises has announced the name of its highly anticipated new ship as Seven Seas Grandeur™.

In viaggio con Globetrotter24. Ogni domenica, una meta vicina e una lontana. Destinazioni esotiche e borghi sconosciuti. Alla ricerca di di angoli ancora da scoprire. Accompagnati dalle app dedicate al turismo, e poi gli eventi e i festival.
Questa settimana diamo spazio alle isole, l'isola d'Elba e poi - per un pizzico di aria internazionale, un assaggio di Antigua. Poi andiamo a Palena, borgo arancione del Touring Club in provincia di Chieti. Il museo di questa settimana invece si trova a Monfalcone e ci parla di navi.
È “Pagine di futuro” lo slogan scelto quest'anno per la rassegna Scienza e virgola, il “science&media festival” organizzato dal Laboratorio Interdisciplinare della SISSA e sostenuto dalla Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia. "Il richiamo è forse azzardato” dichiara Nico Pitrelli, responsabile organizzativo dell'evento, “ma di fronte a un'incertezza senza precedenti nella storia recente bisogna ritrovare il gusto del rischio, con gli strumenti a noi più congeniali: la cultura, la scienza, i libri”. Il direttore artistico della manifestazione, che si svolgerà dal 26 al 30 maggio 2021, è lo scrittore Paolo Giordano. La quinta edizione di Scienza e virgola riparte quindi dalla voglia di ritornare a discutere se e come la conoscenza può aiutarci a dare senso al mondo, nonostante tutto. Rispettando rigorosamente le regole e i protocolli il festival si realizzerà in presenza, a Trieste e in diverse località della Regione. Al centro del programma, come sempre, le presentazioni di libri di argomento scientifico di recente pubblicazione. Ma Scienza e virgola è anche documentari, teatro, laboratori, un ricco cartellone di appuntamenti realizzato grazie all'aiuto della Casa del Cinema, TriesteBookFest, Bonawentura Teatro Miela e l'Antico Caffè e Libreria San Marco, tutti partner di Scienza e Virgola e realtà culturali ben consolidate a Trieste. Tra gli appuntamenti: un dialogo tra Paolo Giordano e la scrittrice inglese Angela Saini sulle discriminazioni nella scienza; l'incontro “Stelle scadenti” affronterà l'importante tema delle mega-costellazioni artificiali e loro impatto sul cielo notturno; sabato 29 maggio l'immunologa Antonella Viola presenterà il suo libro “Danzare nella tempesta”, edito da Feltrinelli, assieme a Paolo Giordano con la moderazione del direttore della Rai FVG Guido Corso. Nel fitto programma, si spazierà dalle disuguaglianze degli algoritmi alle questioni di genere nella scienza, dal concetto di tempo nella fisica agli impatti psicologici dell'iperconnessione. Oltre a questo, ci saranno due proiezioni di video (uno dedicato ai problemi dell'intelligenza artificiale e l'altro alla vita di Marie Curie), uno spettacolo teatrale incentrato sulla figura della moglie di Einstein, un aperitivo con piante sonore e tre laboratori: uno sul fumetto, uno su come scrivere un testo teatrale e uno riservato ai bambini. Quest'anno, inoltre, Scienza e Virgola varca i confini del capoluogo giuliano e presenta due eventi a Pordenone e Udine. Prosegue poi l'impegno con le scuole medie superiori della Regione, grazie ad appuntamenti dedicati in vari licei di Trieste, Udine e Monfalcone. Tutti gli appuntamenti sono gratuiti e con prenotazione. Per tutte le informazioni: www.scienzaevirgola.it A svelarci tutti i dettagli e novità di questa nuova edizione di Scienza e Virgola la responsabile Ufficio Comunicazione SISSA Marina D'Alessandro.

Valeria Cultrera, nata a Caltagirone, il 20 novembre del '77. Vissuta fino ai primi 2 anni dell'università in Sicilia, poi la famiglia si è trasferita a Monfalcone. Trasferitami così a Parma per proseguire gli studi universitari e avvicinarmi ai miei. Conseguita la Laura breve in Informazione Scientifica sul Farmaco, ho raggiunto la famiglia e ho iniziato a lavorare come ISF. Ho iniziato a studiare pianoforte all'età di 8 anni, dopo 3 anni ho fatto esame per entrare al conservatorio di Caltagirone. Superato con successo. Ma purtroppo Per motivi prettamente politici è stato chiuso, dunque dopo averlo frequentato soltanto due anni sono stata portata a lasciare. Ho ripreso da adulta a suonare pianoforte e sax. Vado sempre ad ascoltare concerti di musica , dalla classica al Jazz. Amo ogni forma di musica, importante sia di qualità. In una di queste occasioni ho conosciuto Monika Bajer , siamo diventate amiche. Mi veniva spontaneo e facile proporla ai locali, per gioco lei ha iniziato a chiamarmi Manager. E oggi mi trovo diversi musicisti e band con il quale collaboro creando eventi e serate con live music. Pagina Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valeria.cultrera.5
Sono aperte da qualche giorno le iscrizioni alla 52.a edizione della Barcolana presented by Generali, che si svolgerà la seconda domenica di ottobre a Trieste, preceduta - a partire dal 3 ottobre - dagli eventi collegati a mare e a terra. “Abbiamo lavorato con grande impegno e determinazione - ha dichiarato il presidente della Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano, Mitja Gialuz - per arrivare a oggi, al giorno in cui si aprono le iscrizioni della Barcolana che diventano il simbolo della grande passione comune per la vela, in un contesto in cui tanti eventi sportivi sono stati annullati. Il titolo della Barcolana di quest'anno, “Together”, rappresenta tutto quello che siamo: gente di mare che vuole ritrovarsi per regatare, rispettando l'ambiente e tutte le regole di sicurezza, consapevoli che occorre ritrovare una nuova normalità responsabile, che presuppone capacità di adattamento e volontà di vincere sulla paura e sulle incertezze che hanno caratterizzato gli ultimi mesi”. “Barcolana 52 sarà diversa, ma non in tono minore: ci saranno entusiasmo, contenuti, impegno, divertimento, tutti gli elementi che da sempre la caratterizzano”, ha dichiarato il presidente Gialuz. Confermati categorie, percorso, data e orario, tassa di iscrizione, la regata Barcolana si svolgerà nel Golfo di Trieste l'11 ottobre con partenza alle 10.30, e vedrà importanti novità per quanto riguarda le procedure per iscriversi, dettate dalla necessità di evitare assembramenti e rispettare le norme di sicurezza. Alla Barcolana 2020 ci si iscriverà infatti completamente online, sul sito www.barcolana.it; a procedura completata, si riceverà direttamente a casa la sacca, i gadget e tutti i materiali - mascone compreso - per poter partecipare. Quest'anno, insomma, niente visita alla sede della SVBG per completare l'iscrizione e ricevere i materiali, sostituiti da un corriere DHL che recapiterà tutto a casa. La regata si disputerà nel pieno rispetto delle normative di sicurezza e dei protocolli della Federazione Italiana Vela. La macchina organizzativa della SVBG è stata chiamata a fare un grande salto di qualità: tutto il meccanismo di iscrizione, e più in generale il sito web e l'e-commerce di Barcolana sono stati potenziati e resi migliori dal punto di vista della user experience dal digital partner di Barcolana, IKON. Per supportare “l'evoluzione digitale”, e aiutare nell'iscrizione chi non ha dimestichezza con la tecnologia sarà istituito un call center, realizzato in partnership con IS COPY. Per evitare “assembramenti di barche” lungo le Rive, la regata nell'edizione 2020 richiederà obbligatoriamente agli armatori di avere - e indicare al momento del perfezionamento dell'iscrizione – un ormeggio prenotato per il periodo in cui saranno a Trieste per partecipare all'evento. Gli armatori del territorio terranno la propria barca al normale ormeggio, compresi quelli che potranno raggiungere la partenza con un breve trasferimento (sostanzialmente gli armatori con barche che partono da Muggia a Monfalcone). La Barcolana stessa metterà a disposizione degli armatori che vengono invece da lontano oltre 400 posti barca, e i Marina nautici, da Muggia a Monfalcone, sono pronti ad accogliere come ogni anno i propri ospiti. Oltre 400 imbarcazioni troveranno quindi posto in Porto Vecchio e lungo le Rive, e la tradizionale passeggiata davanti al Bacino San Giusto e lungo il Molo Audace permetterà di entrare come da tradizione nello spirito della regata: il Villaggio Barcolana quest'anno sarà diverso e punterà su uno speciale layout in piazza Unità e davanti la Scala Reale. Come già annunciato, per quel che riguarda la somministrazione di cibo e bevande gli organizzatori puntano a coinvolgere direttamente i ristoranti e bar del territorio. Barcolana proseguirà nel proprio processo di commercializzazione, e lo farà non solo con il temporary shop durante Barcolana, ma anche con il potenziamento del proprio sito di e-commerce: da oggi proporrà - oltre al merch...
E' partita nella giornata di oggi, la prima puntata della nuova rubrica di Radio Punto Zero in collaborazione con la Capitaneria di Porto di Trieste, che per tutta l'estate vi accompagnerà alla scoperta della situazione e delle condizioni del mare sulle coste del Friuli Venezia Giulia, con maggiori approfondimenti sulla sicurezza in mare, sull'ambiente marino e sugli sport acquatici. Appuntamento ogni venerdì alle 12.45 e in replica al sabato alle 10.30 In questa prima puntata, inaugurata con l'Ammiraglio Vincenzo Vitale, oltre alla situazione del mare, è stato trattato il tema sicurezza legato anche all'operazione “Mare Sicuro 2020”, coordinata su tutto il territorio nazionale dal Comando Generale del Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto per garantire la sicurezza delle attività turistico-nautiche e la salvaguardia della vita umana in mare nel corso della stagione balneare. Nell'ambito della regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, l'operazione sarà condotta da pattuglie terrestri e motovedette delle Capitanerie di porto di Trieste, Monfalcone, Grado, Porto Nogaro e Lignano Sabbiadoro, sotto il coordinamento della Direzione Marittima di Trieste. Il servizio vede impegnati tredici mezzi nautici, pronti a garantire il rispetto del divieto di accesso, da parte di unità a motore, kite-surf o altre unità veloci, nella fascia riservata alla balneazione, e circa 150 donne e uomini della Guardia Costiera, con l'obiettivo principale di assicurare una forte attività di prevenzione degli incidenti e di vigilanza per il sicuro ed ordinato svolgimento della balneazione e del turismo nautico. Il personale della Guardia Costiera assicura il massimo impegno per garantire agli utenti del mare, anche nelle particolari condizioni imposte dall'emergenza, la possibilità di trascorrere nella nostra regione un'estate serena, nelle migliori condizioni di sicurezza; si ricorda che ventiquattr'ore su ventiquattro, componendo da telefono fisso o mobile il numero 1530, è possibile segnalare una situazione di emergenza o di pericolo direttamente alla sala operativa che vigila sul luogo più vicino a quello ove occorre intervenire. Per riascoltare l'intervista all'Ammiraglio:
Nei giorni scorsi, il Comandante Generale del Corpo delle Capitanerie di porto – Guardia Costiera Ammiraglio Ispettore Capo Giovanni Pettorino, si è recato in visita ai Comandi territoriali dipendenti dal Compartimento marittimo di Monfalcone, Comando provinciale competente sia per la provincia di Gorizia che per quella di Udine. Una visita ai presidi territoriali più a Nord del Mediterraneo, dove l'Ammiraglio Pettorino, accompagnato dal Comandante della Capitaneria di porto di Monfalcone, il Capitano di Fregata Giovanni Nicosia, ha incontrato il personale dei Comandi di Lignano Sabbiadoro, Marano Lagunare, Porto Nogaro e Grado, concludendo infine con la Capitaneria di porto di Monfalcone, dove ha incontrato una rappresentanza del personale militare e civile a cui ha espresso la sua personale vicinanza e il sincero apprezzamento per il lavoro svolto anche in questo particolare momento di emergenza sanitaria nazionale. Il Comandante Generale del Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto ha proseguito la sua visita a Trieste, dove oggi si è svolta la cerimonia del passaggio di consegne della Direzione Marittima del Friuli Venezia Giulia alla presenza di una rappresentanza del personale dipendente della Capitaneria di porto di Trieste. Dopo più di quattro anni di comando, il Contrammiraglio Luca Sancilio lascia il capoluogo giuliano, passando il testimone al Capitano di Vascello Vincenzo Vitale, ufficiale proveniente dal Comando Generale dove ha rivestito da ultimo l'incarico di assistente del Vice Comandante Generale. Nel suo saluto, l'Ammiraglio Sancilio ha ringraziato tutto il personale della Direzione Marittima per il lavoro svolto in questi anni, sottolineando che gli obiettivi sono stati raggiunti grazie all'impegno di tutto il suo equipaggio e all'importante collaborazione tra Autorità marittima ed Istituzioni tutte. Nell'occasione della solenne cerimonia il Comandante Generale ha espresso parole di vivo compiacimento e ha ringraziato i presenti per la vicinanza al Corpo in questi momenti importanti, quale è l'assunzione del comando di un porto, soprattutto all'interno di una realtà marittima così sensibile e di pregio. Per riascoltare l'intervista all'Ammiraglio Sancilio e al Capitano di Vascello Vincenzo Vitale:
