About This Seaport
The UN/LOCODE SR ICK marks Nieuw Nickerie, the river port of Suriname's self-styled 'rice district' on the Nickerie River, about five kilometres inland from the Atlantic near the mouth of the Courantyne. Its quays comprise two berths for general cargo and three for petroleum products, exporting mainly rice and bananas while importing cement, fertiliser, general cargo and oil. Depth is the binding constraint: vessels are accepted up to roughly 163 m length at about 4.9 m draught at high water, and the largest ship handled measured 114 m and 5,924 DWT. With around 90 calls a year and no container liner service, Nieuw Nickerie functions as a regional agricultural and supply port rather than a containerised gateway. Pilotage and vessel movements are run by the local harbour office. Containerised freight for Suriname routes through Nieuwe Haven at Paramaribo, while nearby Georgetown in Guyana is an alternative for cross-border traffic.
