The governments of Guyana and Suriname will be approaching the private sector for a temporary operation of the Guyana-Suriname Ferry Service while the MV Canawaima undergoes necessary repairs.
This was announced by President of Suriname Chan Santokhi during a joint press conference in Paramaribo yesterday.
“We agreed, as two leaders, as two Presidents that we’ll have a call to the public sector – Guyana, Suriname- but also to the private sector to look for solutions while that vessel will be on dock so that those sectors can come with a temporary solution by putting in place a ferry which can start with the operation again,” he said.
