Unveiling Hospitality Professional Andre Norton, Port Facility Security Officer and Health and Safety Officer at Antigua Cruise Port
Antigua and Barbuda – September 19, 2023 – The Antigua & Barbuda Hotels and Tourism Association (ABHTA) is delighted to present the second installment of its “Unveiling Hospitality Professionals” series, featuring Andre Norton.
On August 1, 2023, Andre Norton achieved a significant milestone in his career by being appointed as the Port Facility Security Officer and Health and Safety Officer at Antigua Cruise Port.
With more than fifteen years of dedicated service in the hospitality sector, Andre’s promotion was a well-deserved recognition of his commitment and expertise in ensuring the smooth operations of the Antigua Cruise Port.
In the bustling months of the Cruise tourism season, numerous vessels grace our shores. However, few truly grasp the intricate technical aspects involved in the security and safety of docking these massive vessels.
Andre Norton is among the select few who possess this specialized knowledge. Each arriving vessel is meticulously inspected by a team of local professionals, including Andre, in collaboration with representatives from the Ministry of Tourism, Customs and Immigration, and local cruise brokers.
They meticulously review and inspect all of the ship’s documents, including passenger and crew counts, as well as equipment, before granting clearance for passengers and crew to disembark.
Similar to the stringent protocols at the V C Bird International Airport, every individual entering Antigua and Barbuda must be accounted for and approved for entry.
The team responsible for boarding the cruise ship plays a pivotal role in upholding the destination’s safety and security.
Andre Norton takes immense pride in his role and describes his job as a daily reminder of the paramount importance of safety and security.
He emphasizes, “Every day I step into the Heritage Quay area, I am reminded of the significance of enforcing rules over personal relationships.”
With this unwavering commitment to discipline, he meticulously executes his responsibilities, both during the boarding of cruise ships and in his role of minimizing or mitigating the risks of accidents, work-related illnesses, and injuries in the workplace.
Andre also actively contributes to enhancing safety compliance by developing new protocols and strengthening existing health and safety policies.
The ABHTA is honoured to illuminate the diverse roles within the hospitality industry and hopes that these weekly spotlights will serve as a source of inspiration for the next generation of professionals aspiring to hold key positions in the industry.

REALLY!!! I am trying so hard not to laugh before I get a stoke, but Mr Norton has being acting the role long before August 1st, 2023….are you saying that before this date he was an imposter, a fraud? ANR please verify the date before lawsuit start flying left right and center
Why would a lawsuit “fly” over a possible error that is unlikely to cause anyone loss? Anyway, he was the DEPUTY Port Facility Security Officer before August 1st.
Deputy to whom? Please tell us
Congrats comrade
Yes! Through my interpersonal interactions over the years with Andre Norton, he has exemplified true professionalism beyond compare; in his staunch love of the task been afforded him of being one of that rear breed of dutiful tourism ambassadors; in service to that most profound industrial component of Antigua’s economy. His down-to- earth affable personality has endeared me to call him my friend, though we have never met personally but have engaged through posting of entries on our mutual chat pages in “You Know When You Are Antiguan When”. His loyalty to a cause shines through with his jovial banter endearing the mettle of his persona so much so, as for me to dub him a Patriotic Nationalist Extraordinary- as so too myself. Congratulations Andre: May you continue to do our country proud; with love and honor.
Another Comrade has been rewarded. You campaigned hard for this position. Well done!
