BBC Aramis sold to South Asian buyers
This is the second ship which had been operational in the BBC Chartering fleet to be bought by the unnamed South Asian company, following an earlier purchase in December 2011. BBC Aramis (pictured below) was built in Slovakia in 2004 for Briese shipping bv, with the initial investment for the construction of the vessel brought together by De Vereenigde Compagnie. Briese Shipping’s parent company, Leer Germany- based, Briese Schiffahrt GmbH, successfully traded the multipurpose vessel worldwide carrying a wide variety of cargoes; ranging from bulk and big bagged loads, to windmill modules and special project cargoes. Through the assistance of Anglo Dutch Shipbrokers, this is the fourth vessel of this size sold to the Far East. In an official statement, Briese Schiffahrt says that: “the current sale leaves the shareholders particularly content, as they fully regained their initial investment and earned an additional six percent profit per year despite the challenging economic times.”www.briese.de www.bbc-chartering.com

Share By DINA ARÉVALOPort Isabel-South Padre Presseditor@portisabelsouthpadre.comTuesday, August 4, marked the 225th anniversary of the United States Coast Guard.Though stations across the country held celebrations on Tuesday, including at Sector Corpus Christi, Station South Padre Island’s observance was more reserved, said Lt. William Bell, who serves as station commander. “What we did this morning (Tuesday) is we had the entire crew outside formed up, and we observed colors,” he said. The National Anthem and the Coast Guard service song, Semper Paratus — which means “always ready” — was also played, Bell said. “It’s a good time for us to reflect,” he said.Approximately 100 men and women serve at the station, Bell said. That includes 60-70 people stationed at the facility, including reservists, a dozen that crew the vessel Amberjack, and another dozen who make up the Aids to Navigation team, he said.Though a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Coast Guard serves many other functions, as well. As a part of the armed services, it can conduct military operations. It also performs search and rescue operations and serves as maritime law enforcement.In that regard, Bell says the station has been kept particularly busy lately. “We’re always out patrolling the waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the Laguna Madre.” he said. “We’ve had some disabled vessels that have been calling in that we try to help get pointed in the right direction, whether it’s helping them arrange commercial salvage or Good Samaritan assistance, or if it’s a search and rescue case, going out and saving folks from a vessel taking on water, or people in the water, whatever it might be. So we’ve had some of those cases going on recently,” he said.Want the whole story? Pick up a copy of the Port Isabel-South Padre Press, or subscribe to our E-Edition by clicking here.

Purple haze: Maria Sharapova stretches for a shot during her 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) win over Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo on Wednesday. | AP Sharapova, making her seventh appearance here with titles in 2005 and 2009, rolled out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, but Safarova bounced back and broke the Russian former world No. 1 at triple breakpoint in the fifth game.The pair played a see-saw battle, tying it twice at 4-4 and 5-5, and Safarova broke Sharapova again in the 11th game before her serve deserted her in the next game to force the extras.“After winning the first set, and going up 3-0 in the second, I think I became a little frustrated. I thought I had the momentum,” said Sharapova, adding that she struggled against the lefty’s serve.“The spin comes from a different direction (than right-handers), and it takes a little longer to get used to. When her serve is on, it can become quite tricky,” she said.Sharapova took a 3-0 lead in the tiebreak, but Safarova rallied to tie it at 4-4. The Russian pulled ahead and served out the match with an ace on the final point to finish in 1 hour, 43 minutes. Sharapova will next face Australian No. 8 seed Samantha Stosur, a 6-4, 7-5 winner over Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova in another third-round match.Asked her prospects on facing Stosur in the quarterfinals on Thursday, Sharapova said, “I have a good record against her. But she is certainly a solid player; uses a lot of spin. It will be important to keep improving and play at a higher level against her.”Stosur, ranked ninth in the world and making her sixth appearance here, improved to 3-0 for her career against the world 13th-ranked Cibulkova, who played for the fourth time in Tokyo. Stosur broke her opponent three times and saved four out of five break points.Italy’s Sara Errani, the No. 6 seed, took advantage of France’s Marion Bartoli’s errant service game to rally in a 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 win. Ninth-seed Bartoli shot herself down with 12 double faults.“It was a different environment than I’m used to and a faster surface, so it was harder to play my game. I didn’t start well, but from the second set after the first three games, she was more tired and I played a little better,” said Errani.Russian Nadia Petrova, the 17th seed, outlasted Croat Petra Martic 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (1-7), 6-4 to reach the final eight. World No. 2 Maria Sharapova staved off a strong challenge from Lucie Safarova to beat her Czech opponent in a straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) victory on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals of the Pan Pacific Open.The career Gram Slam titleholder dominated the first set, but the world 17th-ranked player dug deep in her energy reserves to force a tiebreaker in the second on a balmy day on center court at Ariake Tennis Forest Park.

Dean-Andre Thomas netted twice in the first half and Andre McFarlane scored early in the second as Dunbeholden grabbed all three points against Molynes United in the Red Stripe Premier league at the Constant Spring Field yesterday. Molynes equalised twice through two penalties in each half by captain Jeremy Nelson but were not able to build from their win at Waterhouse last Monday, which broke a string of seven straight defeats. Molynes chairman Eurado Cornwall said that the lack of preparation after the Christmas period allowed rustiness to creep into the side, with the team having trained only once since the Monday night game at the Drewsland Stadium. “With this game, I came in with an open mind because of the long holiday, I don’t think the team put in enough work physically for this game,” he told The Gleaner. “From the Waterhouse Game, Saturday was the first time we trained. I think it took a toll on them coming into this game.” He said that the players have no excuses in terms of their preparedness, emphasising that the onus is on them to ensure that they take their jobs as professionals seriously. “I think the team is drained,” he said. “This is what Jamaican football is lacking. When they get a break, they must remember that they are playing professional football. When you are on break, do your homework. Do not wait until you come on training today to put in the work. They had a duty and a responsibility also. So this is what’s showing, the tardiness of your players, they are not disciplined.”Thomas opened the scoring for Dunbeholden in the ninth minute, slotting home pass Leon Taylor after a brilliant pass put him through. After Fakibi Farquharson was fouled in the penalty area, Nelson calmly placed his spot kick past Dunbeholden goalkeeper Giovanni Smith to restore parity in the 25th minute. But the scoreline would remain tied for four minutes before Thomas capitalised on some greater inter play between Nickoy Christian and McFarlane to bury his league leading 12th goal of the season. Perfect start Molynes carved the perfect start to the second half, equalising again in the 48th minute after referee Okelo Hamilton pointed to the spot for the second time when a Molynes player was fouled by Smith. Nelson dispatched his second penalty of the afternoon for the hosts to draw level once more. But Dunbeholden got their winner three minutes later when McFarlane headed home from close range for his fourth goal of the season. Although he was frustrated at the performance, Cornwall said that he has seen a change in the atmosphere of the locker room since hiring Calvert Fitzgerald as head coach, following the resignation of Lijasu Simms on November 28. He says that though yesterday’s loss was an opportunity missed, he hopes that he sees an improvement in their readiness for the next set of fixtures. “I see a lot of imwprovement,” he said. “We lost the changing room [but] the discipline has come back into the team. “Any team in the position that we are in would love a back-to-back victory. It’s just one of those days. We have to reprogramme and come again and prepare for the next game. And I hope that we have enough time in the coming week to put in some work.” daniel.wheeler@gleanerjm.com

ROYAL Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stopped the rot with a 14-run Indian Premier League (IPL) victory over Mumbai Indians despite an excellent all-round display from Hardik Pandya.RCB had lost two consecutive matches to give themselves plenty of work to do in their quest for a top-four finish, but they claimed only a third win of the tournament at M.
