Ferry port
Since 1998, the CANAWAIMA Perry connects Moleson Creek with South Drain in Suriname. This is the only legal connection between the two countries, but before the repavement of the road between South Drain and Nieuw Nickerie many travelers preferred to rake a back-track route, which is serviced by speedboats which are licensed to carry eight passengers.

Canawaima Management Company was launched between the governments of Guyana and Suriname in 1998 for managing the ferry. The ship MV Canawaima, was out of commission during 2019-2021, and a substitute vessel, MB Sandaka was used during that time. MV Canawaima operates daily except New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Christmas and Boxing Day, and has a capacity of 24 cars, and about 200 passengers.
