AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Maritime Accountability: Vanuatu’s Maritime Safety Authority has lodged a criminal complaint over the MV Matui disaster, calling for the captain to be arrested and charged, alleging breaches of the Shipping Act and that the vessel’s safety certificate did not authorise passenger carriage; VMSA says warnings were issued and that responsibility lies with the owner and master. Government Response: Prime Minister Jotham Napat has cancelled his UN General Assembly trip to stay in Vanuatu, and the government is transferring VMSA functions to the Office of the Prime Minister to strengthen emergency coordination and resourcing. Ongoing Search: Rescuers continue looking for more than 30 people still missing after the ferry sank off Vanuatu, with questions growing about reporting delays and whether marine weather warnings were acted on. International Push: The US says it will deepen Pacific engagement with a shift toward private-sector-led growth, maritime security and energy shock resilience. Regional Climate Rights: Human rights lawyer Julian Aguon says climate change is eroding Indigenous culture and rights, arguing it should be treated as a human rights violation. Local Governance Watch: Australia’s visa fee cut for eligible citizens from Vanuatu and other Pacific states is set to reduce costs for specialist skills applicants.
