Paramaribo Cargo Services and schedule information

It all depends on what port you would like your cargo to depart from. Vertraco starts in Europe. Vessels sail from Belgium, the Netherlands, or the UK. On certain sailing routes multiple European ports are covered, if you need part of a cargo to unload there. For example: Some Spanish ports – Bilboa and Avilés on the Spanish north coast - are also frequented before reaching Paramaribo, but on a less regular basis than other European ports. After leaving the European continent and crossing the ocean, the first stop in South America is the port of Paramaribo in Suriname.

If you need cargo to travel back to Europe, it is good to know that after visiting other South American ports on its north coast, the same vessel heads back to its port of origin. Vessels leave every week or every other week, depending on your selected route. Check the schedule for more information on when Paramaribo cargo services are planned and how many days it takes for your cargo to arrive at its destination.
