A green-powered ferry service connecting the northern Leeward Islands, including Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda<\/strong>,<\/a> Dominica, and St. Kitts, is under discussion as part of the EU-funded INTERREG Caribbean KARULINK project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team from Guadeloupe, led by private transport company STEPS, met with Antigua\u2019s Port Authority, Ministry of Tourism, and Ministry of Trade to explore logistics. The initiative, facilitated by the Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> Chamber of Commerce, aims to launch a pilot phase in 2026 and full service by 2027.<\/p>

Chamber Director Martin Cave and Trade Ministry Permanent Secretary Ambassador Clarence Pilgrim support the project, citing its potential to enhance trade, tourism, and regional connectivity. The team will visit Dominica and St. Kitts next, with national governments set to assess its long-term viability.<\/p>
