The MV Canawaima ferry plying the Moleson Creek, Guyana to Nickerie, Suriname route will be docked for a nine-day period while it undergoes immediate restoration of both its engines.

This is according to Canawaima Ferry Services Terminal Manager Deyne Harry, who spoke of some of the projects scheduled for 2018 under this agency. The nine-day docking period commences on January 6, 2018, and will conclude on January 14, 2018.
Harry also added that while the vessel would be docked, there would be no other alternatives for the crossing from Guyana to Suriname. Persons using the ferry, especially vehicle owners and motor vehicle operators, will be affected by the suspension of service.
Harry noted that “the MV Canawaima continues to experience extensive mechanical challenges that prompted the use of a tug to assist in the propulsion of a vessel”. This, he added, has resulted in delayed arrival and departure times for the ferry.
Presently, the ferry has one scheduled crossing daily. There is also another scheduled docking for the month of April 2018. Details pertaining to this will be provided in a timely manner to the public.
