The 68th Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) of the Chennai & Ennore Ports Steamer Agents Association (CHENSAA) held on 25 July, 2025 at Radisson Blu Hotel in Chennai.

Addressing the gathering, Mr.Y.Leeladharan, Chairman, CHENSAA, elaborated on the key developments in the trade and discussed about the important bottlenecks which need to be suitably represented with respective authorities concerned to facilitate the trade under ‘Ease of Doing’ business for smooth compliance of procedures, and also handle more volumes /seamless movement of cargoes. Mr. Leeladharan also mentioned that CHENSAA will continue to contribute its best for the growth of the country.

During the meeting, Chairman Leeladharan read the Annual Report of the Association for the year 2024 – 2025 and briefed the initiatives taken by CHENSAA and thanked his team for their contribution. He also mentioned some of the important achievements of the Association during the said period.

Besides, the Chairman thanked the Principal Chief Commissioner of Customs, Commissioners and all officials of Customs in Chennai for their guidance to its members. He also thanked The Chairman, Deputy Chairman and senior officials of Chennai Port Authority and the container Terminals like CITPL, CCTL and the Chairman and Managing Director and the officials of Kamarajar Port (KPL) and the officials of Adani Ennore and Kattupalli Port/Terminals for extending their kind support to the members of CHENSAA.

Chairman mentioned that as and when required, CHENSAA had an effective joint discussion with Trade bodies viz. CCBA/NACFS/FIEO/Chambers/ Terminals /CII and Ports/Customs / Immigration/Port Health Officer / MMD/ all respective statutory authorities to streamline the procedures and thanked all of them for their kind co-operation.

Regarding implementation of SCMTR Regulation across the Country, Mr.Leeladharan congratulated CBIC officials for successful implementation of SAM/SEI and in certain Ports SDM/SDN and in the process of implementing in balance Ports. Being a transition period, some technical issues/errors which been encountering by its members have been timely represented by CHENSAA with the respective officials to clarify/clear the errors for successful filing of manifest.

He further mentioned that as per the SCMTR system, whilst vessel is calling 1st Indian Port with SB Cargo, the agent has to file the SAM with SB cargo and FROB details, which is an Herculean Task as the Bills of Lading details except cargo sought for other Ports, may not be available in advance. For non-containerized cargoes (dry bulk/liquid bulk / break-bulk/other type of vessels exclude Container vessels), being Charterers market, multiple agents will be handling the vessel at different Ports, under the circumstances, Charterers/Owners/especially Importers do not want to disclose the information (Bills of lading details) to the last Port agents who are not concerned for their cargo.

Since the manifest been filed at respective Ports by respective agents, requesting the officials of CBIC to kindly examine / resolve by dispensing with such procedures as imposing penalty for non-compliance is not the solution for the practical difficulties.

“CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS NEED TO BE COMPLIED WITH…”

Mr.Leeladharan has highlighted that contractual obligation between buyers and sellers need to be complied with, well in advance then only ship agents/shipping lines will get the copy Bills of Lading to file the Manifest as per new regulation, hence, he has requested officials of CBIC to consider/organize An Awareness OUTREACH PROGRAM in all over India at regular intervals in order the Importers and Exporters understand the statutory requirement for timely compliance. Also, he exhorted the officials for widely publishing/educating the trade on the requirement in daily News Papers/Media which may lead to 100% success.

HANDLING OF SEA TO SEA TRANSSHIPMENT CONTAINERS:

Mr.Leeladharan has requested the honorable Shipping Ministry / CBIC to facilitate the trade by dispensing with ETP (Export Transshipment Permit) documentation procedures for Sea to Sea Transshipment Containers in India as this additional procedure is time consuming/cost, leading to shipping line could not succeed in connecting the containers timely to planned mother vessels at Gateway Ports, which is discouraging the trade to handle more volumes. Such procedures do not exist in neighbouring Foreign Transshipment Ports where huge volumes been seamlessly handling. Shipping Lines are to be permitted to file the manifest directly in Icegate by excluding additional documentation procedures at Origin Port and Gateway Ports which may facilitate Exporters to avail Draw Back and IGST Refund as applicable.

During the freewheeling discussion with members, Mr. A. A. Krishnan, Vice Chairman (Container Sector), clarified on various doubts raised by the members.

While addressing the gathering, Mr. Arul Augustin Joseph, Vice Chairman (Bulk Sector), updated the Association members on the ongoing construction of dedicated office building for the Association.

After the discussions, Mr. Arul Augustin Joseph rendered vote of thanks. A large number of CHENSAA members attended the AGM, which culminated with a dinner.

  2. ‘The most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen’: Resurgent Rory McIlroy left incredulous after bizarrely hitting two balls at once

    As the latest inductee into one of sport’s most exclusive clubs, there is little that grand slam champion Rory McIlroy has not seen in the game of golf. Then, just past the halfway mark of his Open Championship third round on Saturday, he swung.

    Enjoying an excellent day in front of a vociferous home support at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, the 36-year-old found himself in a spot of bother when his tee shot at the par-four 11th curved into the rough on the right of the fairway.

    The “Oh my God” that followed the subsequent swipe of his wedge was McIlroy’s response to his effort falling short of the green, but the world No. 2’s attention quickly turned to the ball, somehow, at his feet.

    Miraculously, his swing had inadvertently popped up a second ball submerged below his played one in the Dunluce Links soil.

    “Oh my goodness … That’s got to be a first hasn’t it?” exclaimed three-time Open winner Nick Faldo on the Sky Sports Golf broadcast.

    “He was very fortunate to miss the ferns and the wild rose bushes but then he lands on an old golf ball … what a story.”

    McIlroy evidently saw the funny side, holding aloft the hidden treasure with an incredulous smile even as he watched his actual shot trickle away from the green before tossing it into a nearby bush.

    After the round, McIlroy said he “honestly” didn’t know what happened on the 11th.

    “That is the most weird, ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Then my ball came out really weird and spinny. Yeah, just so strange.”
    ‘One of the largest roars I’ve ever heard on a golf course’
    Though a first bogey of the round followed, the five-time major winner immediately responded in stunning fashion to reignite a day he had begun with three birdies in four holes.

    Just over 56 feet away from the par-five 12th cup, he knocked a perfectly weighted putt that rolled for more than 10 seconds before dropping in for eagle and sparking rapturous scenes in the stands behind him.

    “It’s one of the largest roars I’ve ever heard on a golf course,” he remarked later.

    It was the undoubted personal highlight of a day that saw McIlroy, born some 60 miles away in the small town of Holywood, keep his dream of a fairytale home Open win alive, as a five-under 66 lifted him to eight-under par overall.

    That left him six strokes adrift of leader Scottie Scheffler: one shot closer than at the start of Saturday but still surely requiring an even greater performance if he is to lift his second Claret Jug.

    “He’s playing like Scottie. I don’t think it’s a surprise … He’s just so solid, he doesn’t make mistakes,” McIlroy said.

    “He’s turned himself into a really consistent putter as well. So there doesn’t seem to be any weakness there. Whenever you’re trying to chase down a guy like that, it’s hard to do.”

    Whatever the outcome, McIlroy has banished the demons of a tearful missed cut when the major returned to Royal Portrush for the first time in 68 years in 2019.

    The 29-time PGA Tour winner has enjoyed phenomenal support all week on the Causeway Coast, with chants of “Rory, Rory, Rory” ringing out through rain and shine, even after a steady start of 70 and 69.

    ‘Absolutely incredible out there. The atmosphere has been electric all day,” McIlroy told Sky Sports.

    “An absolute pleasure to play in front of my home crowd, my fans. I’ve tried my best. I try my best every week, but I’m really just trying to hang in there and stay in it.”

  4. Tbilisi, Georgia — Jailed journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli gets weaker every day as her hunger strike has reached three weeks in Rustavi, a town near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, her lawyer says. Now the 49-year-old is having difficulty walking the short distance from her cell to the room where they usually meet, and human rights officials, colleagues and family fear for her life.

    Amaghlobeli was arrested Jan. 12 during an anti-government protest in the coastal city of Batumi, one of over 40 people in custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations that have hit the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million in recent months.

    The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party, although its opponents allege the vote was rigged.

    Protests highlight battle over Georgia’s future. Here’s why it matters.
    Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russia’s orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union, but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election.

    As it sought to cement its grip on power, Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putin’s actions in neighboring Russia, its former imperial ruler.
