CURAÇAO & SURINAME

Curaçao is a long, arid, and generally flat island, stretching some 40 miles (64 km) from southeast to northwest, at much the same north-south angles as its sister islands in the ABC group (Aruba to the west and Bonaire to the east). The island is about 10 miles (16 km) at its widest point,

making it the largest island in the Dutch Caribbean Islands group.

Curaçao has a natural harbour which is sheltered and has majority of the time a North Eastern trade wind. Curaçao is outside the hurricane belt.Due to the availability of the

Refinery and the Curaçao Dry-dock Company, which is one of the largest and best equipped ship repair facilities in the Caribbean with three docks up to 280m, Curaçao offer many technical support facilities and easy access of customs for spare parts unequalled in the region.There are at least two flights

a day to Amsterdam and daily flights to Miami etc.At our Brion jetty opposite the CDM yard OSB offers limited space for various vessels. Draft is at least 6m and 10m at the jetty. There is only 0.5m tidal difference. The Juliana bridge has a 53m safe air draft.

Suriname is a small formerly Dutch Republic located between French Guyana and Guyana. Due to its geographic location, dry-dock and mining industry Suriname has a rich industry of machinery support & knowledge including vessel repair. Suriname and Guyana

have significant oil fields which are in exploration modus with active drilling by various oil majors.OSB offers four locations for stacking or lay-up. One in the existing harbour of Paramaribo and three approx. 35nm up the river. The average draft is 6.5m

and the upriver facilities offer at least 12m draft. The current on the river is on average 1.8kn. One bridge near the city needs to be passed with a safe air-draft of 41m.OSB can make available a 1.5 acre waterfront lot adjacent to the heavy load facility of

Integra Mar Port suitable for long term storage on land and or a more integrated offshore support facility.The upriver ISPS locations, of which two are the formerly Alcoa mining export locations, are safe and secure with good road connections.
