A dispute arises between Venzy Viegas, an MLA, and Dixon Vaz, a former seamen's association president, over the necessity of establishing a maritime board in Goa. Viegas argues the board is essential for resolving issues, while Vaz claims it would complicate operations.

• Venzy Viegas claims the maritime board is needed for resolving issues like the MPA taking over the Betul coast.
• Dixon Vaz argues the maritime board would complicate day-to-day operations and that the existing CoP is sufficient.
• The inauguration of the new CoP terminal was postponed but will happen soon.
