Last update: 7 hours agoDomestic Violence: Police recorded 266 domestic-related offences in the Virgin Islands from January to August, including 146 of the 319 serious and minor assaults reported. The total is nearly unchanged from the same period last year, and officials warn many cases may go unreported. Maritime Industry: More than 3,000 internationally owned ships fly the Virgin Islands flag. Communications and Works Minister Kye Rymer says a new strategy to expand into merchant vessel registration could help the Territory compete in the trillion-dollar global maritime market. FATF Grey List: Junior Minister Lorna Smith says the Territory is “in a very good place” to leave increased monitoring within its agreed two-year timeframe. She says the VI meets all 40 FATF recommendations, but the outcome depends on the group’s upcoming plenary. Electricity Costs: NDP chairman Marlon Penn says power subsidies are unsustainable and urges long-term measures, including more fuel storage and renewable energy. National Parks: Entrance and mooring fees rise November 1, the first park-fee increase since 1990. The Trust says added revenue will support its 22 parks and about 155 marine moorings.
