The Port is highly developed by way of infrastructure, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with lot many facilities.

NIL

8. Any Other Business with the permission of the Chair

One of the Members observed that there was a lot of sensitive correspondence made by MANSA which is being distributed to the YMF Members and WE Invitees. He questioned that why these should not be circulated to all Members? He further added that Letters received and sent out to Authorities should be circulated to all Members. Some Members objected to the Minutes of Executive Committee Meetings being circulated to all Members. After some discussion it was agreed that the important issues that are required to be disseminated to all Members after discussion in the ECM can be circulated to all Members. Attendance in the ECM was permitted only to the Chairman of the YMF and the two WE invitees to participate in discussions so that the decisions taken can be smoothly implemented for achieving the objectives. WE Invitees and YMF Members have neither Voting Rights nor any other powers so far as decision making of Executive Committee Members.

Since there was no other business, the meeting ended with Vote of Thanks by Mr. Hiren C. Ved, Vice-President who thanked the Fraternity of the Maritime Industry for extending its support to MANSA, enabling it to serve the Shipping Industry and Trade at large and the Shipping Agents in particular.

Copy of the Vote of Thanks is attached as ANNEXURE III.

The AGM ended with thanks to the Chair. The Chief Guest and other Dignitaries, distinguished Guests of Honor were received immediately after the AGM. Ms. Shikha Singh, hosted the Programme as Compere. She invited the President on stage after introductory remarks and thereafter conducted the full programme till the end. The President without any loss of time introduced the Chief Guest and the theme of the programme and requested the Chief Guest to deliver his Address to the gathering. Dr. Trivedi thanked MANSA for their Invitation and talked about the present scenario of the Ports in India. He has also pointed out that a Port need not be a mere sea front infrastructure facilitating operations of exports and imports. In the modern days it is envisaged that it should undertake all the functions for facilitating smooth movement of cargoes / containers as a conduit in the multimodal transport system. What is required is a smart Port which can extend the seamless facilities to all Stakeholders at one Window by electronic exchange of relevant data. It should be self-contained in providing the services without any hassles. He expressed that the Government is working for implementation of this concept for achieving the international standards.

Mr. R. S. Cooper, the veteran of MANSA has been honoured with the Life Time Achievement Award at the hands of the Chief Guest and Guests of Honor. The Past Presidents Award for Exemplary Contribution to Shipping & Logistics was awarded to Mr. K. P. Desai.

Vote Of Thanks By Mr. Hiren C. Ved, Vice-President,

For The 37^th Annual General Meeting Of MANSA

Held On 11^th September 2015 at 1600 hours at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), Recreation Centre, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai – 400 050
Good Evening Dear Capt. Anand, honourable Past Presidents, EC & YMF team & all Ladies and Gentlemen present here,

 

It is an honour to propose the Vote of Thanks at this 37^th Annual General Meeting of MANSA.

 

MANSA has been evolving with changes and challenges in industry. I on behalf of myself & MANSA would sincerely like to thank various Ministries and Govt. Personnel for their extended support to this organization, without which it would be difficult to achieve our goals

 

I would specially like to thank,

1. 
   Secretary, Minister of Shipping & other officer of MOS – Shri Rajiv Kumar
   
2. 
   Director General of Shipping & Officers of DG Shipping – Mr. Deepak Shetty
   
3. 
   Chairman JNPT Mr. Anil Diggikar [IAS] & Deputy Chairman JNPT – Mr. Neeraj Bansal [IRS] and all Officers & Staff of JNPT Port.
   
4. 
   Would also like to thank all Officers & Staff of NSICT / APMT [GTI] Terminal at JN Port.
   
5. 
   Chairman MBPT - Sri Ravi Parmar [IAS] & Deputy Chairman MBPT - Yashodhan Wanage and all Officers & Staff of MBPT.
   
6. 
   Would also like to thank all Officers and Staff of ICTPL [OCT} at MBPT,
   
7. 
   Chairman & MD of Shipping Corporation of India – Mr. Arun Kumar Gupta and All Officers of Shipping Corporation of India
   
8. 
   Directors of Tariff Authority of Major Ports in India.- Mr. L. Ragothaman & Smt. Anuradha Sharma.
   

 

Dr. Vishwapati Trivedi ex.Secretary Ministry of Shipping and now the Chairman National Shipping Board has kindly accepted our request for his gracious presence in the function as our Chief Guest and attended the function travelling all the way from Delhi. Sir, we earnestly and humbly acknowledge and thank you for your keenness and advices on this occasion.

     

Further to this I would like to thank BCHAA, AMTOI, FFFAI, CFSAI, CSLA, INSA, CAI and other service providers who have been in constant touch with our Mansa Team and have helped us to provide the desired level of quality customer service.

In 2015, Capt. Anand and his team had organized several innovative programmes, like seminar on Anti Corruption, Anti Bribery which was a very unique and successful event. Even today we have arranged an award function for our younger colleagues.

 

It is our joint responsibility to contribute meaningfully for shipping industry and make efforts to ensure that members of our association provide professional service to principals, clients and nation much beyond the level of an “ordinary service provider”. With different type of service providers in maritime industry including those of mainline shipping companies with their own offices engaged as agents which situation invariably necessitates the Ship Agent Members of MANSA to be innovative in rendering their services to their Lines / Principals.

 

Me and the group I represent in MANSA believe that  in present challenging environment for shipping as well as our nation, we will have to make joint efforts with other associations of different stakeholders amicably for arriving at a workable and fair  strategy  to ensure providing of transparent, corruption free, efficient  and cost effective solutions to trade and shipping lines. 

 

The suggestions as stated may look difficult to implement but some of the recent developments explain that we should not give up our collective responsibility for ensuring achievement of the said goals. After all of us contribute somewhere or other for improving the international ranking of India in “Ease of Doing Business”.

 

MANSA teams have been working as one team and I am sure for many more decades such teams will contribute for betterment of India’s maritime industry and EXIM trade.

I also thank Mr. Murty, Ms Sally and entire MANSA Office Team for their excellent support to all Members of MANSA. I would also like to thank our Auditors and Legal Advisors for their regular guidance.

I would like to conclude by thanking the members of Maritime Media for their continuous support to MANSA & MCA (BKC) team for managing this wonderful event.

 

Dear friends before concluding I would like to add lastly'...  I always remember the advice of my mentor late Mr. L. D. Parekh (Chotu Bhai) who used to say that I should give at least half an hour or so for the work of MANSA every day since this is our association and community and I can proudly say since then I have honoured his word I am able to Stand before you as the Vice President to deliver this acknowledgement.

Thank you once again and jai hind. “I want everyone to say it again 'Jai Hind' "
HIREN C. VED
