Montoir (France), le 14 March 2008. © Erwan Guéguéniat The 5 LNG tankers were all named after heroes of the Algerian war of independence. The Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, Larbi Ben M'hidi and Bachir Chihani built by Constructions navales et industrielles de la Méditerranée in La Seyne-sur-Mer were scrapped in Turkey in 2017 and 2018 (see "Shipbreaking" # 44, p 31 and # °48, p. 32-33), the Mourad Didouche built in Saint-Nazaire was deflagged, renamed Mourato and beached in Bangladesh in February 2019 (see "Shipbreaking" # 55 p. 41). The Ramdane Abane, the last of the series, is also the last to be scrapped.

Untouched and Unspoiled . with plenty of breathing room As Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are fond of saying, this place is about as far from Disneyland as you could possibly get. And yet, we think you will find that it competes as one of the happiest places on earth. The people are extremely proud of their province — Labrador on the mainland and the island of Newfoundland — and are very resilient. Economic hardship has often plagued this land, and yet the people endure and thrive in spite of it, most often with great joy. The natural wonders here are unparalleled, with stark rugged landscapes warmed by thousands of kilometres of shoreline. The history is vibrant, full of stories of adventure and global events and ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This is a journey off the beaten path, but an experience not soon forgotten. The Trans-Labrador Highway is a new and exciting wilderness trip for most travellers and certainly an adventurous drive that spans 1,246 km from Labrador City to Blanc Sablon. Few tourists can boast of accomplishing the entire drive. Construction started in the mid-1990s from Labrador City to Goose Bay and the last section near Cartwright was completed in 2009. It was originally a gravel road, but each year more sections are paved.

During a recent oil spill preparedness workshop in Zanzibar, these countries asked for annual communication drills and joint multilateral exercises to ensure regional cooperation. To this end, adopting the draft regional contingency plan for the Western Indian Ocean and establishing a regional coordination centre are crucial.
