Morandi Bridge Compensation

Co.L.Se.A. launches a service for managing and submitting claims related to the reimbursement of increased travel expenses incurred by transport operators following the collapse of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa.

What it covers:

• Payment of compensation (reimbursement) for trips made by transport operators to or from the city of Genoa or the Port from August 14 to December 31, 2018.
• The total resources allocated by Ministerial Decree 555/2018 of December 24, 2018, for the period above amount to €20 million.
• The compensation per trip will be determined based on the total number of claims.
• The Decree indicates an estimated unit compensation per trip of approximately €20.00.
• If total claims submitted are below €1 million, the unit amount will increase, while staying within the €20 million cap. If higher, it will decrease proportionally.

Eligible recipients:

Companies regularly registered in the National Register of Third-Party Transport Operators or the National Electronic Register.

Applicable period:

• August 15, 2018 – December 31, 2018 (inclusive)

The Budget Law (art. 1, para. 1019) provides continuity of benefits for 2019 and 2020.

Types of transport eligible for reimbursement:

Trips that involved the actual transport of goods, including container repositioning, are eligible:

• A1: Trips related to delivery and/or collection of goods originating from or destined for the Port of Genoa, and goods transfer between Voltri-Prà and Sampierdarena port areas (and vice versa).
• A2: Internal trips within the Sampierdarena and Voltri-Prà areas, including port-related storage facilities adjacent to Genoa.
• A3: Urban trips within the Municipality of Genoa.
• B: National trips that, due to the Morandi Bridge collapse, required additional highway or road routes.

Maximum daily trips per vehicle (license plate):

• Maximum 5 trips per vehicle (motive plate)

For “urban” trips with more than 5 deliveries, a multiplicative coefficient of 1.5 applies (effectively a maximum of 3 trips).

Documents to attach to the reimbursement claim:

• Travel documentation proving origin and destination of the trip.
• Documentation of the actual completion of the trip.
• Self-certification under DPR 28 December 2000 n. 445, confirming the accuracy of the documentation.
• For expenses under point “B,” indicate the additional highway/road route traveled and provide a valid toll receipt.
