AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoMaritime & Tourism: Atlas Ocean Voyages is pushing fall sailings with fewer crowds, including a 10-night Reykjavík-to-North-Atlantic itinerary and a 7-night “Colors of the Caribbean” departure from St. Maarten, with limited Afar shore-excursion spots moving fast. Aviation & Fuel Costs: A wave of airline collapses continues in 2026 as the Strait of Hormuz disruption drives fuel costs up, with European Cargo (Bournemouth) entering administration and around 180 jobs at risk; industry groups warn fares may rise as profits get squeezed. Energy Storage (Corsica, but relevant for the region): France’s energy regulator CRE picked five Corsica storage projects totaling nearly 48 MW (pumped hydro plus batteries), with contracts running into the 2040s–2050s and costs noted as lower than earlier rounds in Guadeloupe and nearby islands. Marine Protection (Guadeloupe): France announced three new marine protected areas, including one in Guadeloupe, lifting “strong protection” coverage to 14.68% of French waters and aiming for 14.8% by year-end. Regional Shipping Connectivity (Guadeloupe): Partners of the EU-backed KARULINK project met in Guadeloupe to plan new passenger routes, better transport interconnections, and greener mobility across Caribbean islands. Sports & Local Route: A solo sailor is training for the Vendée Globe 2028 and will race the Route du Rhum from France to Guadeloupe in November, with boat tours planned for locals.
