Kuwait's TEC cracks down on marina irregularities with new rules
KUWAIT CITY, July 14: In line with efforts to regulate the maritime sector and enforce legal standards across its facilities, the Touristic Enterprises Company (TEC) has announced the suspension of all marina conversion and transfer procedures, effective July 2025. This decision coincides with the launch of amendments to the regulations governing marina usage, forming part of a broader plan to combat a series of violations, including unauthorized subleasing, berth monopolization, and black-market transactions. The company expressed concern over the recent increase in unlicensed advertisements on social media and non-official websites promoting the sale or rental of marinas located within TEC-affiliated sites — practices it described as 'clear violations' of administrative decisions and applicable laws. 'This step reflects our commitment to our national responsibilities and our drive to ensure justice, equal opportunity, and transparency in marina allocation,' TEC stated in its announcement. The company further clarified that all vacant marina berths will be made available again for leasing — but only after current violations are addressed and rectified. These berths will be reallocated under a clear and transparent mechanism, details of which will be announced officially at a later date. In a related update, TEC revealed that it is in the final stages of preparing for the rehabilitation of the Yacht Club, a major redevelopment project that will be executed in line with international standards. The initiative aims to enhance the quality and safety of marine facilities and offer a comprehensive experience for beachgoers and marina users. Concluding its statement, TEC urged citizens and residents to avoid engaging with unofficial marina advertisements, emphasizing the need to rely exclusively on official company platforms for accurate and up-to-date information.

India crash is fresh setback in Boeing's bid to restore its reputation
As hundreds lie dead following the latest tragedy to beset a Boeing passenger plane, is is too early to determine blame. Pilot error, engine failure and bird strikes are among the theories all being banded about. Only the recovery of flight AI171's black box flight recorders are likely to provide the concrete answers. What is inescapable though is that this is an air disaster the plane's maker, Boeing, could well do without. Plane crash latest: It sounds petty, in the midst of such a catastrophe, to be talking about the impact on a company but this has been an civil aviation giant left deeply scarred, in the public eye, through its attitude to safety in recent years. While the 787 Dreamliner's record had been impressive up until today, the same can not be said for the company's 737 MAX planes. The entire fleet was grounded globally for almost two years following the demise of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 outside Addis Ababa in March 2019. All 157 people aboard were killed. Six months earlier, a Lion Air 737 MAX, carrying 189 passengers and crew, crashed in Indonesia. At fault was flight control software that has since been rectified. That recent past continues to haunt Boeing. It took those crashes to uncover a culture of cover-up. It amounted to not only a corporate failure but one of regulation and justice too, according to critics, as relatives were denied their days in court due to plea bargains. Just last month, the US Justice Department and Boeing agreed a non-prosecution agreement over those two fatal crashes in return for $1.1bn in fines and an admission that it obstructed the investigation. It raises several questions over the US legal system and its ability to police corporate activity and incentivise playing by the rules. Would a British manufacturer have been offered such a deal by US prosecutors? As for regulation, we're told oversight has been stepped up and the number of planes that Boeing makes is still subject to controls in a bid to boost quality. Read more: The company has long denied putting profit before safety but that is what almost every whistleblower to have come forward to date has alleged. The production limits were implemented after a mid-air door plug blowout aboard an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 flight in January last year. They are hampering Boeing's efforts to restore profitability. A 5% fall in its share price at the market open on Wall Street goes to the heart of Boeing's problem. That is every time a Boeing plane is involved in an accident or failure, investors' first instincts are to run for the hills. Boeing says it is seeking more information on the nature of the Air India crash. But no matter whether Boeing's plane is at fault for the loss of AI171, or not, it's clear the company has a long way to go to restore trust.

RSF Deputy Command threatens to invade north Sudan states
Dagalo said 2000 combat vehicles are in the desert on their way to the Northern State assuring that they have strategic reserve of troops estimated at one million fighters. Khartoum: Altaghyeer Deputy commander of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Abdul Raheem Dagalo, has threatened to attack al-Shamalia (the Northern) State and Nahr al-Neel (River Nile) State in north Sudan disclosing that they are actually preparing for this offensive. Dagalo, brother of the RSF Supreme commander Hemedti, told his soldiers that the paramilitary was mistaken in its initial choice for attacking but has now rectified that position and is now heading towards the real battle field which are the two states in north Sudan. He said 2000 combat vehicles are in the desert on their way to the Northern State assuring that they have strategic reserve of troops estimated at one million fighters. Abdul Raheem threatened that supporters of the so-called Islamists, armed movements and weapon and ammunition dealers would be targeted. Dagalo's statements came after the SAF succeeded in retaking the states of al-Gezira, Sinnar, al-Neel al-Abiad (the White Nile), most of Khartoum state and parts of Kordofan.
