Passengers using Guyana/Suriname Canawaima Ferry Service at Moleson Creek, Corentyne, Berbice can expect better services soon, DPI/GINA says.

Repair works are ongoing on the MV Canawaima to enhance the terminal’s aesthetics and upgrade the passenger services.

Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson said no major works were undertaken at the terminal since its formal launch on November, 06 1998 hence, the works are necessary.

Ferguson told DPI/GINA that the  works include repairs to the manager’s office and VIP lounge, removal of vents and installation of doors, removal of windows, repairs to the washroom and waiting area and some other works in the canteen and waiting area.

The project which started on May 30 is being executed to the tune of $9.2M by Kascon Engineering Services from Region Six. It is expected to be completed by August 08, 2017.
