Antigua and Barbuda is making history in the Caribbean by taking bold steps to transform its port into the region’s first fully decarbonized facility.
In a pioneering effort to reduce maritime emissions, the government has partnered with Veer Group to introduce groundbreaking clean shipping technology — a move that could redefine the future of shipping in the Caribbean and beyond.

It would indeed be groundbreaking if we became a clean green state but again is it practical.

This is absolutely fantastic news! Being the first to sign this kind of agreement shows that Antigua and Barbuda is serious about protecting our beautiful oceans and leading the way in sustainable development. I’m so proud to see our nation taking this bold step toward a cleaner future. This is the kind of innovative thinking that will secure our country’s place in the global economy for generations to come.
If we can lead the way in clean shipping, it could open up new investment and tourism opportunities.
Maritime emissions are a major problem no one talks about. Glad to see our leaders tackling it head-on.
