La Mauritius Ports Authority enclenche les procédures en vue de la mise en œuvre de son projet d’International Drydock/Ship Building Facility. La MPA a lancé en ce sens un appel à manifestation d’intérêt auprès des promoteurs souhaitant développer et opérer cette facilité. Un terrain de 6 hectares a déjà été identifié et réservé dans la zone de Fort William par la MPA pour ce projet. Avec cette nouvelle infrastructure, Maurice disposera de son 3e chantier naval. Compte tenu du nombre croissant de navires transitant dans nos eaux ou sillonnant la région, la nouvelle cale sèche pourra accueillir davantage de bateaux pour les services de réparation et d’entretien entre autres. Ce projet aidera aussi à créer de l’emploi. Les premiers travaux de construction de l’International Drydock/Ship Building Facility devraient débuter en 2023.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart’s bizarre ‘weak gutted dog’ rant left many scratching their heads, but a surprising source of origin has been discovered for the phrase: notorious standover man Chopper Read’s best-selling autobiographies.
Stuart’s spray was directed at Panthers star Jaeman Salmon after Canberra’s 20-point defeat in one of the most explosive post-match press conferences ever seen.
Many fans and pundits took to social media to wonder where on earth he got the insult from.
The answer was just as bizarre as the insult itself, with the term ‘weak-gutted’ making several appearances in Read’s many autobiographies detailing his colourful life as a convicted criminal and gang member.
Mark ‘Chopper’ Read is a notorious criminal and gangland figure who wrote multiple books about his colourful life
In ‘From the Inside: Chopper 1’, Read refers to the mainstream criminal population in a prison as ‘weak-gutted mice who have no sense of personal honour and courage’.
In another passage in the same book he refers to murderer and gang member Barry Quinn as a ‘weak gutted thing’.
He similarly described the infamous hitman ‘Mr Rentakill’ Chris Flannery as a ‘weak-gutted p***k’ in ‘Hits and Memories: Chopper 2’.
Mark ‘Chopper’ Read even launched his own rap album in 2006
Read also described drug kingpin Jason Moran, who was famously depicted in the TV series Underbelly, as ‘weak-gutted thing’ who was a ‘coward and sadist’.
Stuart’s slur at Salmon was in response to him appearing to kick Raider Tom Starling in the groin while he was attempting to get up after being tackled.
Commentator Phil Gould said Stuart’s remarks were completely unjustified and noted that accidental kicks like Salmon’s are common in the NRL.
‘That’s not an uncommon occurrence. His foot was caught between his legs as they’re getting up and he was trying to get his foot out of there,’ he said on Fox League.
Salmon’s agent Sam Ayoub said his client was ‘rattled’ by Stuart’s comments, and lauded his personal growth over the last few years.
‘He is a really good kid and everyone who knows him has a love and respect for him,’ Ayoub told News Corp.

Panthers half Jaeman Salmon was left ‘rattled’ after being on the end of an extraordinary spray from Ricky Stuart after Penrith’s win over the Raiders
Ricky Stuart is facing a heavy punishment from the NRL for his ‘weak-gutted dog’ comments about Jaeman Salmon
Stuart’s comments stemmed from an incident between his son and Salmon during a junior rugby league match 12 years ago – a remarkably long grudge to hold for a coach who has already accumulated approximately $130,000 in fines in his career.
The NRL are set to hand down their punishment for the unprecedented spray by Wednesday at the latest, with an unprecedented suspension reportedly an option.
Stuart initially refused to back down from the comments, but on Sunday morning he made an about-face and said he was ‘truly sorry’ for letting his ’emotions get the better of him’.
In the week when the last A380 was delivered to Emirates, OAG has taken an opportune moment to reflect on the return of the giant aircraft that less than two years ago appeared to be heading for the scrap yard, as far as most airlines were concerned.
Suddenly industry leaders are talking once again about the need for a very large aircraft type such as the A380 and for a multitude of reasons airlines are putting them back in the sky.
Air France, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways are all unlikely to bring the aircraft back into service, whilst the planned Korean Air and Asiana Airways merger will ensure some A380 services continue.
There are presently 129 A380s in service, out of 254 built and seven dismantled and scrapped according to FlightRadar.
The passengers love the Toulouse giant, the airlines less so. There are no pure cargo versions.
All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airlines, British Airways, China Southern Airlines, Emirates, Korean Air, Qantas, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines are the current operators and Lufthansa announced a change of policy and is bringing aircraft back for summer 2023.
Unless forces outside the airline industry have an effect, the A380 will be around for another 30 years at least.
Trois des leaders de partis de l’opposition parlementaire, à savoir Paul Bérenger, Xavier-Luc Duval et Navin Ramgoolam, se rencontrent ce lundi. L’objectif, à en croire le leader des Mauves, est « d’accorder leurs violons ». Paul Bérenger a affirmé vouloir obtenir des clarifications quant à la stratégie politique de ses partenaires. Des discussions houleuses sont à prévoir.
Le leader du MMM a également précisé qu’au cas contraire, « lavi pou kontinie ». La marche reportée aura-t-elle finalement bien lieu ? Une marche ne suffira pas, a affirmé Paul Bérenger. Selon nos informations, ce serait déjà chose du passé.
Pour rappel, lors de la conférence de presse du MMM samedi, Paul Bérenger a évoqué la possibilité de procéder à une autre forme de manifestation commune. Les retards dans l’organisation d’un rassemblement agaceraient les membres de ces trois partis.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), took delivery of its newest ship, Norwegian Prima, in Marghera, Venice at the renowned Fincantieri shipyard. This milestone marks the arrival of the first ship in NCL’s Prima Class that will see six new ships delivered through 2027.
Present at the event was Frank Del Rio, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd; Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line; Luigi Matarazzo, general manager of the Merchant Ships Division of Fincantieri; as well as other notable NCLH and Fincantieri executives. The delivery celebration was followed by the traditional flag exchange ceremony.
Harry Sommer, president and CEO, Norwegian Cruise Line, said: “Norwegian Prima, the long-anticipated first ship in our extraordinary new Prima Class is a true testament to our Guest First philosophy as well as our commitment to deliver unforgettable experiences that exceed expectations.”
At 965 feet/294 m long, 142,500 gross tons and with capacity for 3,300 guests, Norwegian Prima is designed to put guests first. She features wide-open spaces, thoughtful and stunning design, and a variety of brand and industry-first experiences. She lays claim as the most spacious new cruise ship in the contemporary categories and offers the most outdoor deck space and expansive accommodations of any new build.
Launching this August, Norwegian Prima will be the first major cruise ship christened in Iceland, commencing her eight-day inaugural voyage in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik on August 27 sailing to Amsterdam.
Un entrepreneur en construction a constaté qu’une somme de Rs 200 000 a été débitée du compte de sa compagnie à son insu. Ce dernier affirme être sûr et certain de n’avoir jamais effectué de tels retraits. Afin d’y voir plus clair, il a demandé des explications à la banque par le biais d’une lettre.
Pas satisfait des explications, il s’est rendu à l’une des succursales de la banque à Lallmatie. Un préposé lui aurait alors informé qu’un de ses employés s’était présenté à la banque le 21 avril avec deux chèques. L’un avec un montant de Rs 150 000 et l’autre de Rs 50 000.
Le contracteur est tombé des nues en constatant que sa signature sur les deux chèques ressemblait comme deux gouttes d’eau à la sienne. Selon lui, son employé aurait subtilisé les deux chèques dans son sac.
Il a finalement décidé de déposer une plainte au poste de police de Lalmatie, samedi 6 août.
