Last update: 3 hours ago

Maritime Safety: All 47 passengers and crew aboard the inter-island ferry Apple Syder were safely rescued after the vessel began submerging minutes after leaving Basseterre for Nevis, with the Coast Guard, local fishermen and the vessel Markana credited for the rapid response. Copyright & Politics: The ruling St. Kitts and Nevis Labour Party has paid for the unauthorised use of Vincentian musician Adrian Bailey’s campaign song “Get Rid ah Dem,” settling a dispute after legal action. Healthcare Upgrades: PM Terrance Drew says JNF General Hospital is now fully air-conditioned in key wards including oncology, pediatrics, outpatient and OBGYN, as part of broader improvements. Digital Government: Drew outlined digital transformation plans covering social security, national ID, healthcare, border security and government operations, including progress toward a national digital ID and online passport applications. Water Security: The PM reiterated that about 70% of St. Kitts now has reliable 24-hour water supply after roughly EC$100 million in water infrastructure, including a desalination plant producing two million gallons daily. Regional Finance: ECCB marks the EC dollar peg’s 50th anniversary with a July 1 panel discussion in Basseterre. Creative Economy: Drew and Citizenship Unit chairman Calvin St. Juste reviewed construction progress on the Prime Creative Arts Centre, built under the Citizenship by Investment Public Benefit Option. Public Health & Community: Child Month 41 closed with a grand Basseterre parade under the theme “Fueling Our Bodies with the Best.”
