Last update: 6 hours agoUNESCO World Heritage Boost for São Tomé and Príncipe: UNESCO added the Roças of Agostinho Neto and São João dos Angolares to the World Heritage List, spotlighting the islands’ former Portuguese coffee and cocoa plantation estates—complete with farmland, industrial facilities, worker housing and social infrastructure—while also preserving the memory of forced labor and migration tied to colonial rule. Maritime Security & Oil Theft Crackdown: Nigeria’s Navy says it intercepted the MT FILIA, a tanker flying São Tomé and Príncipe’s flag, after more than a week near an offshore terminal in Akwa Ibom; officials allege the crew loaded about 650 metric tonnes of stolen crude (worth over N660m) and began discharging it at interception, causing pollution. Offshore Services Deal: OceanPact says it has agreed to acquire Brazil’s Dock Brasil ship repair yard, aiming to expand vessel repair, maintenance and dry-docking capacity for its fleet and third parties—an industry signal for offshore engineering and logistics. Global Heritage Roundup: UNESCO also approved 25 new World Heritage sites in Busan, including the first U.S. addition since 2023 (Okefenokee) and major cultural/natural picks worldwide.
