AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Tourism: Disney Dream has returned to Caribbean cruising, with Tortola among its winter-season stops—another boost for BVI visitor traffic. Maritime Growth: The territory says more than 3,000 internationally owned ships fly its flag, and plans to expand beyond yacht registration into merchant shipping. Financial Services: Junior Minister Lorna Smith says the BVI is on track to exit FATF’s increased-monitoring list within its two-year target, citing compliance with all 40 recommendations. Business Access: Updated Crown Land forms are intended to simplify applications for commercial leases, jetties and other projects. Charter Fees: Premier Natalio Wheatley says new licensing charges apply to all foreign-based commercial charters, not specifically USVI vessels, and do not apply to boats simply entering BVI waters.
