AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Maritime Safety Crisis: St. Kitts and Nevis authorities say all 47 passengers and crew aboard the inter-island ferry MV Apple Syder were rescued after the vessel began taking on water and partially submerged off Basseterre on Monday; the Coast Guard, local fishermen and the ferry Makana were credited with the rapid response, while an investigation is expected to determine what went wrong. Security & National Events: Prime Minister Terrance Drew met security leadership to review operations during the St. Kitts Music Festival and praised the coordinated work of police, defence forces, the Coast Guard and emergency responders, including during the Apple Syder rescue. State Commemoration: Government announced an official funeral for former Deputy Prime Minister Hugh C. Heyliger, honoring his decades of service as educator, parliamentarian and senior minister. Creative Economy Push: Drew and Citizenship Unit chairman Calvin St. Juste inspected progress on the Prime Creative Arts Centre, funded through the Citizenship by Investment Public Benefit Option, aimed at jobs and new space for artists. Regional Energy Talks: Antigua’s PM Gaston Browne says discussions have started with St. Kitts and Nevis on an undersea electricity cable to support geothermal-based power and reduce fuel dependence. Local Community Life: Child Month celebrations in Basseterre closed with a grand parade, and “Eat Local Day” promoted locally produced food across the federation.
