\u00a0Antigua and Barbuda <\/a><\/strong>could soon be part of a\u00a0groundbreaking fossil fuel-free ferry network<\/a>\u00a0as a Guadeloupe-led initiative assesses the feasibility of launching an environmentally friendly inter-island transport system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A delegation from Guadeloupe recently visited Antigua as part of the INTERREG Caribbean KARULINK project, a European Union-funded initiative executed by Guadeloupe-based private transport company STEPS. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to establish a sustainable ferry service connecting Antigua, St. Kitts, Dominica, with Guadeloupe. The study is expected to last between January 2025 and December 2027 and has the Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> Chamber of Commerce as one of its investors.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The exploratory study has engaged key local stakeholders, including the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority, the Department of Marine Services (ADOMS), the Ministry of Tourism, and other border security and law enforcement agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their discussions focused on the viability of the clean-energy ferry project and identifying suitable harbours and ports for the pilot phase.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The initiative was welcomed by Port CEO Darwin Telemaque who is excited at future possibilities to partner with STEPS on clean energy changes at the port, particularly a full-scaledecarbonization of port facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to have all of Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s ports powered by non-fossil fuel and renewable-energy sources. \u201cYou are coming into a space where the environment is prepared by the government to facilitate the transition.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The project also aligns with regional economic integration goals set by CARICOM and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, H. E. Clarence E. Pilgrim said the project aligns with the country\u2019s vision of a more interconnected and economically vibrant region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe should use this opportunity to see how we can improve our economic standing. \u00a0The emphasis today is on sustainable transport, and this aligns with our commitment to reduce environmental impact while fostering economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Pilgrim explained that \u201cIf we are to utilise and fully realize the full potential of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), we must ensure that our transportation networks support the free movement of goods, services and people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Furthermore, as small island developing states (SIDS) face unique vulnerabilities that necessitate innovative and collaborative solutions. Strengthening our transport links will enable us to better respond to global economic shifts, like what\u2019s taking place now in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, Martin Cave has expressed strong support for the project, citing its potential to boost transportation and trade while aligning with International Maritime Organization (IMO) obligations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere will be expertise transfer or knowledge transfer as a result of this,\u201d he said, noting that the experience from STEPS will be integrated into the project. \u201cSo perhaps we\u2019ll be able to upgrade how we service buses etc. because the training component is one of the mission critical parts of this study and this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Axellens Firm consultant Christelle Flory stated that STEPS will need to work closely with all stakeholders to successfully establish the new maritime route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua is the first stop on the mission, with the delegation set to visit Dominica next, followed by St Kitts the following week. \u201cWe\u2019ve been transporting over three million passengers, so this is really a group with expertise,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broader vision of the KARULINK project is to develop a comprehensive strategy for opening new maritime routes using environmentally friendly solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ferry network will leverage smaller ports across Guadeloupe to facilitate seamless and sustainable inter-island travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the project, once it is seen to be viable and profitable, it will be left to individual national governments to identify ways to continue the ferry service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French delegation included Gilles Lima Chairman Founder of the STEP Group, Christelle Flory Axellens Consultant to the INTERREG Caribbean KARULINK Project, Anais Pierre-Justin STEP Project Officer, and Christelle Trefle-Hoton STEP Business Development Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
