The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda convened on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, addressing a range of critical issues aimed at enhancing national infrastructure, public safety, and environmental sustainability. The meeting began with a prayer led by a pastor from the Zion Church of God, who drew inspiration from Psalm 31, emphasizing trust and resilience in challenging times. The pastor urged Cabinet members to remain patient and committed to their roles, likening their efforts to planting seeds that will yield future benefits. A significant highlight of the meeting was the Attorney General’s briefing on the arrival of a state-of-the-art Liebherr LHM 420 mobile harbor crane at the St. John’s Port. Costing US$6.2 million, this advanced crane is expected to revolutionize port operations, boosting efficiency and positioning Antigua and Barbuda as a leading logistics hub in the Eastern Caribbean. The crane, capable of handling up to 60 containers per hour, is currently being assembled by a team of German engineers, with local operators undergoing hands-on training to ensure seamless integration. In other developments, the Acting Prime Minister informed Cabinet about discussions with the Airport Taxi Association and other stakeholders to improve service standards at V.C. Bird International Airport. A Select Committee has been established to recommend regulatory and operational enhancements. Additionally, the Minister for Public Safety addressed rising concerns over motorized bicycles and scooters, which have been linked to increased traffic accidents. Stakeholders are drafting legislative measures to mitigate these issues. On the environmental front, Cabinet reaffirmed its commitment to beautification initiatives, including tree planting along highways and the establishment of a supervised inmate work team to support community clean-up efforts. The Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force will lead the October National Clean-Up Campaign under the theme ‘Love Where You Live,’ furthering the government’s vision for a cleaner, greener nation.
