Last update: 2 hours agoFerry Safety Standoff: Suriname’s Maritime Authority (MAS) has issued a final ultimatum to Canawaima Management Company over the MV Canawaima, warning of an immediate sailing ban from 14 August 2026 at 00:00 unless major technical and firefighting safety gaps are fixed, safety gear is fully ready, crew certificates are in order, and an independent ship survey confirms watertightness and cofferdams.

Offshore Oil Progress: Investor confidence in Suriname’s offshore sector is rising as TotalEnergies advances its GranMorgu development toward first oil in 2028, alongside continued exploration results in the Guyana-Suriname Basin.
