The Project

Marine Support Base
by Dordt.

Turning Suriname's oil & gas opportunity into the nation's sustainable growth — by design.

Introduction

From offshore discovery
to designed development.

Suriname stands at a historic turning point. The discovery of significant offshore oil and gas reserves creates an unprecedented opportunity — but capturing long-term national value requires more than extraction. It requires Development by Design.

Dordt. Marine Support Base is that design made real. A world-class marine and industrial facility at Plantation Dordrecht, Commewijne — built to provide reliable support to the offshore sector while simultaneously catalyzing the sustainable development of Suriname's greenfield Commewijne district.

The project is a joint venture under NV DORDT Gateway, combining the experience of Baitali Group — one of Suriname's most established corporations — and FIRM Engineering.

Key Advantages

Why this location is unique.

🌊
Close to the Outfall
Positioned close to the outfall of the Suriname River into the Atlantic Ocean — direct access to offshore operations without navigating the full river.
⚓
No Need to Pass Downtown
No need to pass the busy, slow-sailing section of the river through downtown Paramaribo — saving time and reducing operational risk.
📐
Naturally Deep Waters
Located in the outer curve of the river where natural deep water exists — 8.5m minimum depth at low tide without dredging.
🌱
Former Agricultural Plantation
Converting the former Dordrecht plantation into a future-proof estate — repurposing land for national economic benefit with minimal disruption.
🏙️
Best Supporting Industries Nearby
Close to Suriname's best supporting industries positioned in the nearby capital Paramaribo — logistics, services, and supply chain all within reach.
📐
Abundance of Available Space
An abundance of available space to expand and develop as required — up to 240 ha of yard development within the broader estate.
