This paper examines the technological, socio-economic and environmental feasibility of a proposal to strengthen the Italian commercial coastal shipping system as an alternative to bolstering existing road transport facilities in order to meet the requirements of increased trade in the new European free market. This prospect is of special importance to Italy due to its long coastlines. The principal elements taken into account are: investment capital, labour and energy requirements. The study first examines the supply and demand dynamics of the European transport system. Here, attention is given to energy consumption. This examination is followed by a review of the European situation with regard to normatives governing navigation and customs duties. Road, rail and maritime transport costs are compared, and an assessment is made of the economic feasibility of an integrated-means system of transport involving the coordinated use of special containers, tractor-trailers and interchangeable railway cars/truck trailers. Environmental benefits, in terms of reduced pollution caused by road transport, to be had through the increasing of maritime traffic, are also evaluated. A look is give at the organizational nature of the Italian maritime transport system and the reforms that would have to be made to the existing structure in order to make any future expansion of maritime traffic a viable venture.
