There is a new person at the helm of Antigua Cruise Port (ACP). the subsidiary of
Global Ports Ltd, which has the responsibility to manage the cruise port in Antigua
and Barbuda.
This comes following the departure of General Manager, Dona Regis-Prosper, who
held the post for four years and is now leaving to take up an appointment as
Secretary General of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, (CTO), headquartered
in Barbados.
“We thank her for being instrumental in the initial set-up of Antigua Cruise Port,
mentoring and training the local team and guiding Antigua Cruise Port through
some of the most trying times the tourism industry has faced during the COVID-19
pandemic. We also commend her for the successful reopening of the port and
bringing homeporting to Antigua, which has significantly benefitted the country.
“Dona will always be part of the GPH Family," said Mehmet Kutman, Chairman
of Global Ports Holding, during a farewell event held for Mrs. Regis-Prosper.
Regis- Prosper said, “I am grateful for the experience I’ve had at Antigua Cruise
Port and in Antigua in general. I thank the team and wider port community for the
support they’ve shown throughout my tenure, and I am confident that ACP is in a
good position to move forward.”
“As the company transitions, we are pleased to announce Cynthia Jacobs- Browne
as the Officer-in-Charge, effective August 19, 2023. Jacobs- Browne is currently
Antigua Cruise Port’s Financial Controller and has worked at the company since
its inception. Over the past four years, she has worked closely with the company's
leadership in areas beyond finance, including operations, port security, facility
management, and marketing and leasing,” ACP said in a media release.
The new Officer-in-Charge said, “While change can be difficult, we wish to assure
our industry partners and the local community that we are committed to growing
and improving our cruise tourism product. We will continue to build on the
relationships that we’ve formed and our successes thus far. We remain committed
to the development of Antigua Cruise Port.”
