Last update: an hour ago

Maritime Safety: The MV Apple Syder partially sank after departing Basseterre for Nevis, but all 47 passengers and crew were rescued safely; Prime Minister Terrance Drew visited the J.N. France General Hospital and said everyone is accounted for as Coast Guard, fishermen, and civilians coordinated the response, while SCASPA and other agencies launched an investigation. Energy & Cost of Living: Drew confirmed the Federation’s targeted fuel and import relief measures run to July 31, with fuel support and customs charge reductions already costing government over EC$80 million, urging residents to conserve electricity as energy prices regularise. Nevis “Destiny” SSZ: Nevis Premier Mark Brantley says the Destiny Special Sustainability Zone agreement is expected to go before Federal Cabinet today, with a decision awaited from the Prime Minister after months of delays. Health Workforce: St. Kitts and Nevis welcomed 47 Ghanaian nurses under a bilateral labour agreement to strengthen hospital and community care, including emergency and critical services. Regional Rights Agenda: CARICOM will convene a meeting and form a committee to address discrimination and marginalisation affecting Rastafarians across the region, including representation from St. Kitts and Nevis. Local Governance & Public Service: The government announced an Official Funeral for former Deputy Prime Minister Hugh C. Heyliger, with a three-day mourning period July 7–9. Diplomacy/Scholarships: The St. Kitts and Nevis Embassy in Taiwan announced a medicine scholarship at I-Shou University for eligible students, with applications open June 29–July 7. Security & Community: Police issued a wanted bulletin for Rohan Mullings, while Drew praised security forces for festival safety and rescue readiness.
