Suriname’s offshore industry is gearing up for a transformative phase as the GranMorgu project, set to commence production in 2028, takes center stage. This ambitious initiative aims to bolster local expertise, enhance logistical capabilities, and align with international offshore standards. Recently, TotalEnergies, in collaboration with the Maritime Authority of Suriname, hosted the Supply Vessel Services Technical Workshop at the Marriott Hotel. The two-day event attracted over seventy participants, including local businesses, technical experts, and international partners, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and operational readiness. The workshop focused on the critical role of supply vessels and maritime support within the offshore value chain, a cornerstone of TotalEnergies’ future production activities. Hercules Medeiros, Field Operations Manager, emphasized the importance of Surinamese involvement, stating, ‘A project of this scale cannot succeed without the active participation of Surinamese companies, government agencies, and professionals.’ TotalEnergies has made local engagement a key pillar of its sustainable development strategy, linking oil production in Suriname to training, certification, and business development. The company aims to equip Surinamese professionals and enterprises to participate in the global offshore industry. By integrating international safety and environmental standards into local operations, TotalEnergies seeks to contribute to Suriname’s economic growth and sustainable development goals. The workshop featured technical sessions, practical discussions, and assessments of local readiness for offshore operations. The GranMorgu project in Block 58 is one of the largest investments in Suriname’s recent history and is expected to position the country as a regional energy hub.
