Cargo Disruption Watch: The US Virgin Islands is bracing after a San Juan docking restriction tied to Water Spirit Freight Services, with VIPA saying the issue is specific to Puerto Rico’s port rules and outside its control. Local Accountability: In the BVI, Myron Walwyn is blasting government inaction over derelict vehicles in District 6, while Mark Vanterpool attacks a “leadership void” and says stalled projects are hurting daily life. Tourism Momentum: The VI is set for a record 52 cruise calls this summer (about 165,700 passengers), and the BVI Tourism Summit is gearing up for “BVI Market Connect: Partner Exchange” to link local operators with overseas reps. Finance & Courts: Singapore’s High Court has approved winding-up for three 1MDB-linked BVI entities, clearing the way for claims against Standard Chartered and BSI. Health & Money: Delaware’s $7.4B Purdue opioid settlement is now legally effective, and the state says funds will flow to communities and victims.
