La groupe CMA-CGM annonce la commande de sept nouveaux navires propulsés au biogaz pour desservir les antilles françaises.

Durant son déplacement en Martinique et en Guadeloupe, Rodolphe Saadé, Président Directeur Général du Groupe CMA-CGM, géant du transport maritime, a annoncé le déploiement de 7 nouveaux porte-conteneurs propulsés au biogaz pour renforcer et moderniser la desserte des Antilles françaises. Ils seront livrés progressivement à partir de 2024 et on compte parmi eux 4 navires de 7 300 EVP et 3 navires de 7 900 EVP, avec 1 385 prises Reefer chacun. Afin d’accueillir ces navires de plus grande capacité, le Groupe CMA CGM accompagnera la modernisation et l’augmentation des capacités des grands ports maritimes de Guadeloupe et de Martinique, et l’agrandissement des quais. Véritables hubs de la Caraïbe et de l’Amérique du Sud, Fort de France et Pointe à Pitre seront le point de départ du trafic de transbordement vers la Guyane, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélémy et le Nord Est du Brésil.

Ces mesures rentrent dans le cadre de l’objectif zéro carbone du groupe, fixé en 2050. La desserte de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe pour les importations se trouvera améliorée par le renouvellement de cette flotte maritime.

Vie chère, lien avec les Antilles, nouveaux investissements, projets… Rodolphe Saadé répond aux questions de France-Antilles. Une interview à retrouver dans votre édition de vendredi 23 septembre.

Une nouvelle fois, l’eau est montée à Rivière-Pilote, comme l’attestent ces images. Suite à une grosse averse ce samedi après-midi, la rivière Petite est sortie de son lit. 

Le bourg a connu une brusque montée des eaux mais sans faire de dégâts majeurs. Le niveau de l’eau est redescendu aussi vite, indiquent les pompiers, qui n’ont pas eu à faire d’interventions majeurs, en ce jour, malgré les pluies importantes sur le territoire causées par la tempête Fiona.

La Caribbean Cetacean Society…

La Caribbean Cetacean Society (CCS) a révélé le 9 septembre dernier les résultats de son étude de deux ans sur les cétacés dans les Petites Antilles. Il faut retenir que nos eaux sont très riches, mais menacées. Grâce au travail de coopération mené par cette association, ce sont 437 recensements de 21 espèces (dauphin tacheté pantropical, globicéphale tropical, dauphin de Fraser, cachalot, baleine à bosse, orque, baleine à bec…) qui ont été enregistrés en deux ans, dont 202 avec des juvéniles.

Un projet local

« Ti Whale An Nou » (Nos Petites Baleines à nous) est le plus grand programme d’études des cétacés ayant été réalisé dans l’ensemble des Antilles. C’est avant tout un projet local, mené et réalisé par des Antillais motivés et soucieux de préserver leurs îles et les cétacés. Le but est ainsi de continuer le travail commencé avec les locaux. C’est pour cela que l’association forme des Martiniquais aux méthodes scientifiques. Ils vont apprendre les techniques de suivi des cétacés pour être prêts l’année prochaine, dans le but d’embarquer avec l’équipage de l’organisation. Les apprentis, qui se rendront dans le Nord-Caraïbe en bateau, vont être en situation de recherche scientifique sur une étude des baleines à bec, co-financée par le Muséum d’histoire naturelle. 

Dans la peau d’un scientifique 

Sur deux jours, les amateurs vont être dans la peau d’un véritable scientifique, ce week-end et en début de semaine prochaine, pour apprendre les différentes méthodes scientifiques. Ces privilégiés (8 personnes à bord du navire) vont observer pendant 2h chacun les animaux, gérer l’acoustique et la détection des espèces, faire de la photo identification. Mais aussi noter les variables environnementales, de trafic maritime, les informations biologiques sur les espèces rencontrées. Les données collectées vont permettre de contribuer à la science.

« Ça va demander beaucoup de travail et de recherche, annonce Jeffrey Bernus, co-fondateur et président de Caribbean Cetacean Society. On va échantillonner la baie de Fort-de-France et la réserve du Prêcheur dans le but de trouver des baleines à bec et d’autres espèces. La baleine à bec est une espèce très rare et difficile à observer car elle reste 3h sous l’eau et apparaît succinctement pendant 1 minute en surface. On va essayer de travailler sur l’acoustique. Si on note une seule observation, on sera déjà très content. »

Rutherford’s 50-ball 78 powers Patriots to victory Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Sherfane Rutherford scored 78 runs from 50 balls to help and guide St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to a seven-run victory over Trinbago Knight Riders in the 26th match of the 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on Thursday.

Electing to bat at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, the Patriots were restricted early as Knight Riders rotated five bowlers across the Powerplay. Rutherford would change the complexion of the innings with six fours and five sixes in his 78 runs, aided by a spectacular cameo from Dewald Brevis, to take his team to 163 for six.

In their chase, Trinbago Knight Riders struggled to build partnerships as wickets consistently fell. Despite this, they remained with a chance of winning the match as Tim Seifert and Andre Russell scored crucial late runs, but it proved to be in vain as they could only muster 156 for seven, just short of the victory target of 164.

The Patriots were frustrated by the bowling of the Knight Riders in the first 10 overs, reaching 43 for three and having lost the key wicket of opener Evin Lewis for 15. Rutherford would then shoulder the responsibility of carrying the innings as he patiently scored runs before accelerating in the last three overs.

Brevis supported well with 30 not out from just six balls to lead the Patriots to a decent score. Darren Bravo contributed 23 from 21 balls.

Trinbago Knight Riders lost the early wickets of Leonardo Julien (1) and Colin Munro (3) in their chase, with spinners Kevin Sinclair and Rashid Khan restricting the runs.

Captain Kieron Pollard (31 from 36 balls) and Nicholas Pooran (15 from 10 balls) would then lose their wickets as the Knight Riders found themselves in serious trouble. However, Tim Seifert (59 from 47) kept the chase alive with a valiant half century.

Despite Russell scoring 18 runs in the 19th over, it was not to be enough as Jamaican fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell delivered a composed final over to take the Patriots to victory.

Russell was bowled by Cottrell for 29.

Cottrell ended with three for 33 from his four overs while Kevin Sinclair and Dwayne Bravo supported with two wickets each.

Patriots stayed in contention for a playoff spot with the victory. They are now fourth in the six-team table on eight points while Knight Riders slipped to fifth place, just outside of the playoff spots with seven points.

Barbados Royals, which have already secured a playoff spot, are way out in front with 16 points, eight clear of second-place St Lucia Kings and third-place Jamaica Tallawahs.

Summarized scores:

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 163/6 (Rutherford 78, Brevis 30*; Dupavillon 3/38, Patel 1/7).

Trinbago Knight Riders 156/7 (Seifert 59, Pollard 31; Cottrell 3/33, Sinclair 2/18).

AUA student convicted for shoplifting in supermarket says he did it to impress girlfriend

REAL NEWS:

A French medical student now faces removal from the American University of Antigua (AUA) after being convicted of larceny.

The Police charged the student after he was caught stealing in The Epicurean Supermarket, and he pleaded guilty before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh.

Because it was his first conviction, he was fined $600, the sum of the groceries he had stolen. The man paid the monies forthwith, since he told the St. John’s Magistrates Court that he had sufficient cash on him.

Reports are that the man and his girlfriend were purchasing groceries at the supermarket when he began to place items into a knapsack on his back.

His illegal action was picked up by a supervisor who was monitoring the cameras, and who later informed an on-duty police officer working at the establishment.

After picking up the items, the student made his way to the cashier and paid for the items in his shopping cart. However, he failed to remove those in his knapsack, which were high-end meat products, including sirloin steaks.

Further reports are that he was stopped by the officer as he attempted to leave the supermarket, taken to a room and searched, and the items were found in his bag.

While the items in the cart were valued at over $100, those in his knapsack totaled more than $500.

The man was taken into custody and the charge was later proffered against him.

The student told the court he had stolen the items to impress his girlfriend, who was also in court at the time. It was her customer card he had presented for the transaction.

In the meantime, the man is reportedly concerned about what he is going to tell his parents, since his medical studies are now threatened by his actions.
