The Management of the Guyana-Suriname Ferry Service is notifying the general public that operations will be suspended from today, May, 27 until further notice.

Terminal Manager Gale Culley-Greene told the Department of Public Information (DPI) that the Canawaima Ferry has been experiencing mechanical difficulties for some time and a decision was taken to have the vessel assessed and repaired. 

The Terminal Manager further said that if the Canawaima Ferry is docked, a replacement vessel would be sourced. The matter is engaging the attention of both Guyanese and Surinamese authorities, DPI said.
