AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Maritime Disaster: The MV Barima capsized off Guyana’s coast near the Pomeroon River with at least 133 people aboard; 67 have been rescued so far, including 15 children, while dozens remain missing and no new survivors have been found since Sunday afternoon. Search & Rescue: Prime Minister Mark Phillips says the operation is continuing, with expanded air and sea searches and divers after early delays from darkness and limited scanning capacity. Passenger-List Crisis: Public Works Minister Juan Edghill says the manifest is not a “true reflection” of those onboard, complicating how many people rescuers are searching for. Criminal Probe: Authorities report the captain and first engineer are in police custody after positive cannabis tests, and officials say operational breaches and “mischief” are under investigation. Regional Solidarity: CARICOM and leaders across the region have sent condolences and support as Guyana sets up family assistance centres and presses on with the search. Sports & Youth: NAGICO and the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League launched a developmental cricket scholarship for the 2026 tournament, attaching Michael Palmer to the Guyana Amazon Warriors.
