In view of the next regional elections in May, hundreds of millions of euro (which nobody has) are being promised to transform Livorno in the first port of the known Universe. Meanwhile, the dredge “Ortensia II” keeps excavating the entrance channel to the port: an absolutely necessary work, planned years ago, and long overdue.

Long overdue means it'll also end up costing more.
Interesting photo of this colorful dredge. Their work keeps harbors open for commercial shipping.
Reminds me of the saying, "Slow and steady wins the race." But probably not the political race.
Looks like a big job.
Love the colors VP.
Looks like a boring job.
Ah, the joys of politics!
I am retired so I real love watching people work. ;)
I like the combination of the colors here.
Sounds like your politicians are very much like the ones here in Canada promising money nobody had. Glad the channel is being dug out!
Amazing how much crap accumulates on the bottom in such a relatively short time. Big ports know this is their livelihood.
The dredgers are the hard workers of the harbour! Must get down to Fremantle harbour soon :)

It is the same everywhere - no money!
When will they stop with their hollow promises...
And yes, as William said, the long overdue probably means more expensive too.
If they really do improve the port, just think of the new pictures you'll get. Maybe ...
I am imagining a workman's song to accompany that task! Maybe Volga Boatman.

Someone seems to distrust politicians. That is unheard of!
