AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Port & Shipping: The Virgin Islands Port Authority is moving ahead with a $22.4 million upgrade of the Wilfred “Bomba” Allick Marine Terminal on St. Croix, with design work underway and a public meeting set for Aug. 14 to review terminal repairs, container-yard pavement work, and safety upgrades. Cruise Tourism: New data highlights the VI as one of the Caribbean’s fastest-growing cruise destinations, ranking third with 493,397 passenger arrivals Jan–Mar 2026—up 29.3% year over year. Maritime Industry Funding: The U.S. Maritime Administration awarded $35.18 million to 45 small shipyards across 24 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands under the 2026 Small Shipyard Grant Program, supporting equipment, infrastructure, and workforce training. Food & Agriculture: A Class I recall was issued for about 29,628 pounds of raw frozen boneless beef imported from Argentina after it entered commerce without mandatory import reinspection—prompting local distributors and kitchens to audit freezer stock. Public Safety & Courts: In St. Croix, Quasheem Christian was ordered to 24-hour house arrest and GPS monitoring after a Glock 19 allegedly fell from his waistband during a police chase; the court declined to uphold charges tied to a rifle found in a backpack.
