Suriname offshore logistics: who runs the shore bases around Paramaribo (2026)

TotalEnergies has stated that Paramaribo will be the hub for GranMorgu's administrative and logistics activities, with local companies participating in logistics and support services.[1]

Nieuwe Haven in Paramaribo handles about 90% of Suriname's imports and exports.[8]

• ASCO — in Suriname since 2022 supporting Block 58; by 2026 operating Dordt Marine Port, described as the newest shore base in Suriname.

Staatsolie's September 2026 RFEoI for customs clearance, freight forwarding and inland transportation prequalifies contractors for a later Invitation to Bid; submissions close 16 October 2026.[9]

Base capacity is concentrating around a few Paramaribo operators with operator contracts or international partners. Smaller logistics firms are more likely to win work as subcontractors to these bases — trucking, customs, warehousing, crew transport, waste — than directly from operators.

For an international logistics provider, the practical entry is a partnership with one of these bases or a Surinamese customs and transport firm already known to buyers. For a Surinamese firm, documented HSE systems and SSRP registration are the minimum.
