Wageningen Port is the seaport of Nickerie, in the city of Nickeriein Suriname. Overseas routes include Central and South America, Port code is SRWAG.
Port Overview
Wageningen is a small river-oriented port location in Nickerie, western Suriname, associated with the Nickerie agricultural area rather than positioned as a primary deep-sea container gateway. Its logistics role is best assessed as a local or regional cargo access point serving river-connected agricultural and general-cargo movements. The platform record identifies the location as WAGENINGEN, Suriname, city Nickerie, with UN/LOCODE SRWAG. The current platform dataset records zero FCL, LCL and automotive service entries; this should not be interpreted as confirmation that cargo facilities are unavailable, but it does mean that containerized shipments require advance operational validation. Our service team recommends confirming the actual receiving point, navigational accessibility, cargo-handling method, customs process and onward road delivery before accepting a firm routing.

Key Highlights
Regional rather than hub positioning
SRWAG should not be treated as an automatic substitute for a major Suriname container gateway. Routing may require a separately arranged feeder, river, coastal or road connection.
River access matters
Draft, tide, seasonal water conditions, daylight movements and local navigation restrictions can influence whether a nominated vessel or barge can be accepted.
Container capability requires confirmation
The platform record shows FCL and LCL service counts of zero. Our team should obtain written confirmation of equipment, lifting arrangements, empty-container handling and cargo receipt procedures.
Agricultural hinterland
The Nickerie area is strongly associated with agriculture, so project planning should account for seasonal cargo flows, weather exposure and inland collection constraints.
Facilities & Services
- General cargo interface: River-port cargo may be handled through local landing, quay or open-yard arrangements. The exact berth, cargo gear and working method must be confirmed for each shipment.
- Container handling: Do not assume quay cranes, reach stackers, reefer plugs, empty depots or regular box storage. Our service team will verify whether containers can be discharged, grounded, stripped or transferred at the nominated location.
- Bulk and agricultural cargo: Dry agricultural products and packaged general cargo may require covered storage, moisture protection, pest-control measures and suitable truck or barge loading arrangements.
- Customs and inspection: Customs presentation, inspection space and documentary processing should be coordinated with the responsible local authorities before cargo dispatch.
- Inland transport: Road collection and delivery are likely to be central to the logistics plan. Vehicle dimensions, bridge limits, road condition, weather and local access should be checked before dispatching oversized or heavy cargo.
Routes & Logistics Transit Times
- International container routing: A practical plan may involve a mainline or regional gateway in the Caribbean or northern South America, followed by a separately confirmed feeder, barge, coastal or road leg to the Nickerie area. Direct service, vessel acceptance and transshipment availability must not be presumed.
- General and project cargo: Breakbulk, multipurpose vessel, barge or truck solutions may be more suitable than standard container routing, depending on cargo dimensions, lifting requirements and river access.
- Transit-time drivers: Total lead time depends on gateway selection, transshipment connection, customs release, river conditions, local equipment availability, road access and the cargo’s handling classification.
- Planning standard: Our service team provides a shipment-specific schedule only after receiving cargo details and confirmation from the local handling party; published port-to-port estimates should be treated as indicative rather than guaranteed.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Nickerie area
SRWAG is associated with Nickerie and the western Suriname hinterland. Cargo planning should distinguish local delivery from onward distribution to Paramaribo or other districts.
Agricultural commodities
Rice-related products, agricultural inputs, machinery, spare parts and packaged food or general cargo are commercially relevant categories for the surrounding agricultural economy, subject to shipper and consignee confirmation.
Equipment and supplies
Fertilizer, farm equipment, construction materials and maintenance supplies may require careful packaging, road-access review and, where applicable, dangerous-goods documentation.
Commodity qualification: Cargo type, seasonality, packaging, moisture sensitivity and final delivery point should be confirmed before selecting a river or road-connected solution.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-offs: Local receiving, barge or feeder cut-offs may differ from the main gateway’s terminal cut-off. Our team will obtain the applicable cargo receiving time, documentation deadline and delivery appointment before issuing final instructions.
- Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, safety data and container details at quotation or booking stage. Acceptance depends on the nominated carrier, handling point and applicable local approvals.
- Customs documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, consignee details, origin information and any commodity-specific permits must be consistent. Agricultural, food, plant, chemical and controlled goods may require additional review.
- Inspection and inland delivery: Customs examination, road restrictions, rain exposure, security arrangements and truck availability can create extra dwell time. Cargo should not be dispatched until the receiving party confirms access and handling readiness.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the commodity, HS code, packing method, dimensions, gross weight, center of gravity, value, dangerous-goods status and final delivery address before requesting a firm solution.
- Ask for written confirmation of the nominated handling point, available lifting equipment, container acceptance, storage conditions, reefer power and empty-equipment arrangements where relevant.
- For agricultural or moisture-sensitive cargo, use weather-resistant packaging, suitable dunnage and clear loading instructions; verify whether covered storage is available rather than relying on open-yard protection.
- Keep an alternative gateway or road-connected solution available for cargo with strict delivery dates, high value, refrigeration requirements or oversized dimensions. Final routing should follow the latest carrier and local-operator confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book a standard FCL shipment directly to SRWAG?
Not automatically. The platform record contains zero FCL service entries, so our service team must first verify the actual container receiving point, equipment availability, carrier acceptance and onward handling plan.
Is WAGENINGEN the same as a major ocean container gateway in Suriname?
No assumption should be made. SRWAG is the UN/LOCODE for WAGENINGEN and is associated with Nickerie. Its river-oriented, regional role should be assessed separately from any main ocean gateway or transshipment port.
What cargo is more suitable for this location?
Suitability depends on local acceptance, but agricultural supplies, farm-related equipment, packaged general cargo and selected bulk or breakbulk movements may be considered after handling and inland-access checks.
Will the quoted transit time include customs and inland delivery?
Only if specifically stated in the quotation. Gateway transfer, river or feeder connection, customs release, inspection, road delivery and weather-related delays should be separated in the operating plan.
What should be confirmed before dispatch?
Confirm the receiving party, cargo acceptance, cut-off, documentation deadline, equipment, lifting method, customs instructions, truck access and any dangerous-goods or agricultural permits before cargo leaves the shipper’s premises.
