Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu trade revives as Shipping Directorate eases foul weather norm
THOOTHUKUDI: The Directorate General of Shipping, in a circular dated May 19, relaxed foul weather norms for the operation of Mechanised Sailing Vessels (MSV), or thonies, between Thoothukudi and Sri Lanka, which would allow trade operations throughout the year. Operators say this has come as a shot in the arm for maritime trade between the two countries. Hitherto, the Merchantile Marine Department (MMD) allowed MSVs to set sail only between September and April, which is considered fair weather period. The period from May to August is considered foul weather period and MSVs remain moored in harbour. Mechanised sailing vessel operators hope the development will help them reclaim trade with Sri Lanka, which they lost in 2008 due to multiple factors, including the war between LTTE and Lankan military, and severe competition from other operators. 'Except for a few MSVs that supplied essentials during emergencies, none had transported essential goods to Sri Lanka after 2008, ' said Lasington, secretary, Coastal mechanised sail vessel owners' association. Even though trade was permitted during fair weather season, Sri Lankan traders did not engage MSVs after they found other means of transport during foul weather season, he said that lifting foul weather restrictions gives them a chance to reclaim the market.

Two dead in 11-rider British Supersport crash at Oulton Park
LONDON: Supersport riders Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, died after a crash involving 11 bikes at the start of a race at Oulton Park yesterday, circuit owners Motor Sport Vision (MSV) said. Tom Tunstall, 47, was in hospital with significant back and abdominal injuries and a further five riders were taken to the medical centre with minor injuries at the circuit in northern England. The race was stopped immediately after the chain-reaction crash at the exit to turn one on the opening lap, with the British Superbike championship event then cancelled. MSV said British rider Jenner was treated trackside initially but died from a catastrophic head injury after being taken to the circuit medical centre. New Zealander Richardson was also treated trackside and then at the medical centre but died with severe chest injuries prior to arrival at Royal Stoke University Hospital. MSV said it and the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board were investigating along with the coroner and police.
