AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoShipping Costs: Maersk will raise its surcharge to $2,000 per container for qualifying contract cargo from American Samoa to five Gulf destinations, effective Nov. 27. The charge excludes non-contract bookings and Far East Asian origins. Seabed Mining: A federal auction of more than 31 million acres off American Samoa is set for Nov. 19, with minimum bids of $3 million. Deep Sea Minerals is also seeking a U.S. listing to fund preparatory work, though it says the initial raise will not pay for offshore operations. Air Service: Hawaiian Airlines says a sustainable third weekly Pago Pago–Honolulu flight depends on attracting new passengers, especially outside peak seasons. Passenger numbers fell to 59,502 in 2025, and the added flight spread existing demand rather than growing it. Economic Priorities: Congressional candidates offered proposals ranging from pursuing more federal investment to improving oversight of funds, as they weighed ways to grow private-sector jobs and reduce reliance on federal assistance.
