Suriname is an active market for US heavy machinery, driven by the country's gold mining sector, timber industry, and ongoing infrastructure development. Situated on the northeastern coast of South America, directly adjacent to Guyana, Suriname shares many of the same equipment import dynamics and is a destination we serve regularly.
Port of Paramaribo
The Port of Paramaribo is Suriname's primary commercial port and the main entry point for heavy machinery and equipment imports. Located on the Suriname River approximately 15 kilometers from the Atlantic coast, it handles both container and RoRo cargo, giving buyers flexibility in choosing the most appropriate shipping method.
Shipping Methods Available to Suriname
Container Shipping with Machine Dismantling
Container shipping is the most common method for Suriname. We pick up machinery from any US state, dismantle it at our yards using our numbered, color-coded ribbon system, and ship in containers to Paramaribo. Multiple machines from different US sellers can be consolidated into one container, significantly reducing the per-unit shipping cost.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo service is available to Paramaribo for operational machinery that can drive or roll under its own power. RoRo eliminates dismantling costs and is typically the most affordable option for a single operational excavator, bulldozer, or truck.
