Cayman Islands Fire Service Wednesday Update on South Sound Incident

The Fire Service reports that checks of a South Sound site used to store tyre derived aggregate (TDA) showed no sign of smoke or fire this morning (Wednesday, 26 September 2018).

The site owners are currently in the process of installing a water sprinkler system which will provide a constant water supply on top of the stack.

While this measure will provide some cooling, the Fire Service is also requiring that the large stack be broken up into smaller stacks, and the site owners have committed to exploring options to achieve this in the immediate future.

The Fire Service will shortly issue a statement outlining the steps that it is taking in tandem with the site owners and other owners of similar sites used to store this type of aggregate to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent future fire hazards.

It will only issue further updates on the status of the current incident if the site once again shows signs of smoke or fire.

Cayman Islands Fire Service Tuesday Update on South Sound Incident

From Cayman Islands Fire Service

A Cayman Islands Fire Service crew today (Tuesday 25 September 2018) reported there is no sign of smoke or fire at a site used to store tyre derived aggregate in South Sound.

The fire officers did record hot areas on the surface of the aggregate with a thermal imaging camera. In the absence of smoke they noted that this could be explained by the sun as much as by any deep seated compression areas.

As a precaution the hot areas have been marked and are being cooled by the site owner.

The Fire Service will check the site again this evening.

Maersk containership arrested in Tunisia

BY CHRIS DUPIN From Akerican Shipper

The vessel gave asylum to 113 refugees when it was en route from Malta to Libya in June.

Maersk Line said that one of its ships, the Alexander Maersk, was detained in the Port of Sfax, Tunisia, on Sept. 10.

“This is related to different claims cases which we are looking into and have informed our insurance company about. We cooperate with all relevant authorities to resolve the matter as quickly as possible,” said Maersk.

The website Shipping Watch said that the arrest was made on behalf of shippers which “claim to have lost money on the Maersk Honam fire.”

The Alexander Maersk is a Danish flagged container vessel built in 1998. It has a nominal container capacity of 1068 TEU. It is deployed on a Seago Line service in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The same ship was in the news earlier in this year when it rescued more than 100 maritime migrants and had to wait three days off of Sicily before being allowed to come to port and let the migrants disembark.

Since yesterday (Friday, 21 September 2018) the Cayman Islands Fire Service has been monitoring an incident in South Sound involving tyre derived aggregate.

It can now confirm that as of today (Saturday, 22 September), the seat of the fire has been dug out and fully extinguished. In addition the fire pumps have been returned to the station.

At no time did the fire pose a danger to persons or property in the area.

The site will be checked again in the morning (Sunday, 23 September).

The Cayman Islands Fire Service is currently attending a mound of recycled tyre-derived aggregate on property at the rear of Vela Condos on South Sound Road.

Fire service officials report there is no visible flame and very little smoke at the site. They confirm that the situation is under control and poses no danger to surrounding property or residents.

The aggregate is being damped down, dug out and redistributed in the area.

The Fire Service will cease operations later this evening and a watch will be in place throughout the night to observe for heat sources.  A follow-up assessment will be carried out in the morning.

Cayman Islands; DCI Reminds Tobacco Licence Holders to Renew

From The Cayman Islands Department of Commerce and Investment

Tobacco licence holders are reminded of the 5 pm Thursday, 1 November 2018 deadline to apply for their annual licence renewals.

Annual registration renewal fees are CI$500 for a retailer, CI$750 for a cigar bar and CI$5,000 for a wholesale distributor.

Persons in Grand Cayman must submit their applications at the Business Licensing Counter, located on the first floor of the Government Administration Building. Applicants must provide a current trade and business licence certificate and written notification of changes made since the last registration, such as the dealer’s contact details, business location, ownership and trade of products information.

For persons in the Sister Islands, applications must be submitted to DCI Senior Licensing Officer, Mrs. Lolita Bodden-Arch, in the Bodden and Bodden building on Cayman Brac.

Licensees are reminded that applications submitted between 2 November 2018 and 31 December 2018 will attract a late charge fee that is 50% higher than the regular renewal rate. Applications submitted between 1 January 2019 and 31 January 2019 will incur a late fee of 100% of the regular renewal rate. After 31 January 2019 and up to 30 June 2019, applications will attract a late fee of an additional 200 per cent of the registration fee.

Any dealer who does not apply for a renewal before 30 June 2019 must cease operations for one year. Following that year, in order to resume tobacco sales, he or she must submit an application for a completely new grant, rather than a renewal.

For persons who want to become first-time tobacco dealers, documentation for new tobacco licence grants can be submitted at any point during a given calendar year.

Applications can be downloaded from the Department of Commerce and Investment’s website,www.dci.gov.ky. For more information, contact DCI’s Tobacco Administrator, Ms Samone Morgan at[email protected] or call Mrs. Bodden-Arch on 948-2400.
