Ferry port

Since 1998, the CANAWAIMA Perry connects Moleson Creek with South Drain in Suriname.[2] This is the only legal connection between the two countries, but before the repavement of the road between South Drain and Nieuw Nickerie many travelers preferred to rake a back-track route,[3] which is serviced by speedboats which are licensed to carry eight passengers.[4]

Canawaima Management Company was launched between the governments of Guyana and Suriname in 1998 for managing the ferry. The ship MV Canawaima, was out of commission during 2019-2021,[5] and a substitute vessel, MB Sandaka[6] was used during that time. MV Canawaima operates daily except New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Christmas and Boxing Day, and has a capacity of 24 cars, and about 200 passengers.[4]
