Rodolphe Saadé, président-directeur général du groupe CMA CGM
De passage aux Antilles, Rodolphe Saadé, président-directeur général du groupe CMA CGM, a rencontré ses différentes équipes sur place ainsi que les acteurs du monde politique. L’occasion de faire un point sur les actions en cours et à venir du groupe en terme d’évolution et d’investissements pour les prochaines années.
Quel est le lien entre les Antilles et la CMA CGM ?
Le lien est tout d’abord historique. La CGM et la Transat de l’époque étaient très présentes aux Antilles. Quand la CMA a racheté la CGM, nous sommes devenus de facto très impliqués dans la présence de cette entité aux Antilles. Depuis, nous n’avons cessé de développer l’activité maritime de la CMA CGM aux Antilles, que ce soit en Martinique ou en Guadeloupe.
Et plus personnellement quel est votre lien avec les Antilles ?

Students collect nine tonnes of recyclables
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: The BVI Beacon
During the month of August, 6-year-old Ky’Resha Hodge worked with her family and friends to collect about 79,000 plastic bottles, 58,000 glass bottles, and 7,000 aluminium cans for recycling.
For her effort, the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School student won the Student Recycling Competition hosted by Green VI in conjunction with the Department of Waste Management.
During the contest, 42 students between the ages of 2 and 19 vied for new laptops and other prizes by trying to gather the most plastic, glass and aluminum recyclables during the month, according to Government Information Services.
Acting DWM Manager Neville Allen said the contest helped spread an important message.
“We have to find ways to reduce the amount of waste we are producing as well as diverting recyclables out of the garbage stream,” he said.“The We Recycle programme along with initiatives like this is a move towards that goal. I hope that the enthusiasm persists outside of the competition, and everyone continues to recycle wherever they are.”
18,350 pounds
Green VI Deputy Director Sarah Penney said competitors collected a total of about 402,000 plastic water bottles; 257,000 glass drink bottles; and 22,750 aluminium beverage cans.
“This means the territory can now add 18,350 pounds of recyclables to the 7,021 tonnes already collected by the We Recycle programme and diverted from burning or burying,” she said.
Other contest winners included Joseph Lake, who took the top prize for Virgin Gorda by collecting about 57,000 plastic bottles and 70,000 glass bottles.
“I’m happy to know that I’ve prevented large volumes of waste from being burned at the dump and polluting the environment by simply bringing these materials on my dad’s pickup truck to the Virgin Gorda Eco-Park,” said Mr. Lake, a 13-year-old student at Bregado Flax Educational Centre. “Filling all those large bags was not an easy task but it was worthwhile, not only for the prize, but to know my future may be a bit brighter.”
A’Miah Joseph took the prize for Jost Van Dyke, Ciara Evans for Anegada.
Other winners included
Emily Davis, Shanae John, Nazir Cooper, Avonnia Bute, Kaiela Lewis, Jovianne Walters, Chemoi Flax and Alexis Gannigan.
As part of the competition, students could also submit videos illustrating ways to reduce and reuse trash.
Additionally, asked to inspire someone to start using conservation methods such as composting, home gardening, conserving water, or recycling.
Video winners included Z’Shawn Smith, Keaura Turn- bull, JMoi Scatliffe, Jyliane Algar, Jesse Cockburn, Kyng Hanley, Zaed Chalwell, Dasia Penn and Kelly Smith. Aerin Westlake received the award for Special Environmentalist.

The mother of the young woman who was slaughtered along with her four children at their home in Cocoa Piece, Clarendon, in June, Gwendolyn White McKnight, says she is disappointed in the defence attorney representing the confessed killer in the mass slaying.
Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court in Kingston on Thursday following a sentencing hearing for Rushane Barnett, the convict who is also a relative of the victims, White McKnight’s pain was evident.
She raised several questions as a mother and grandmother in mourning, all of which she directed at defence attorney Tamika Harris.
At the senetencing hearing on Thursday, Harris requested that Barnett be given 15 fewer years in prison time than the 60 years recommended by the prosecution.
The victims, Kimesha Wright, 31, and her children: Kimanda Smith, 15; Sharalee Smith, 10; Rafaella Smith, five; and 23-month-old Kishawn Henry Jr, were reportedly murdered between the night of June 20 and the early morning of June 21. They were found with stab wounds and their throats slashed.
Barnett entered guilty pleas to five counts of murder in relation to the killings in July.
His sentencing was on Thursday delayed until October 20.

JPS preparing for severe weather system this weekend Loop Jamaica

The Jamaica Public Service says, in light of the approaching severe weather system expected to impact the island starting this weekend, it is mobilising crews and other critical elements to manage its effects.
In a release Friday, the company is also encouraging the public to take steps to secure their households and personal safety.
“Persons should take stock of trees on their premises which could pose a danger to their homes or to power lines, and trim these where it is safe to do so,” JPS said, adding that people are cautioned not to attempt to cut trees which are already close to lines, as this could result in electric shock or loss of life.
The power company is also encouraging the public to ensure they have supplies on hand, including flashlights, battery-operated radios, non-perishable food items, and water.
“Importantly, persons who make use of generators should ensure that they are in good working order and properly connected to their home system,” JPS said.
JPS also reminded customers that the severe weather system may result in extended power outages, as has been experienced in neighbouring territories.
“Once the system has passed, members of the public must avoid downed power lines,” it added.
It advised that after the passage of the storm, JPS will follow its restoration protocol to have power returned to those who lost supply.
It said the restoration protocol is structured as follows:
The system is assessed for damage;Power is restored to essential services such as water pumps, hospitals, communications etc;Critical loads and large populated areas are addressed;Smaller population centres are addressed;Small pockets of customers and individuals are returned to normalcy.
JPS said it remains dedicated to service at the highest levels of safety.
