TotalEnergies EP Suriname hosted a two-day workshop this week aimed at strengthening local participation in offshore supply vessel services as the country prepares for oil production from the GranMorgu project in Block 58.

Held on October 6–7 in collaboration with the Maritieme Autoriteit Suriname (MAS), the ‘Supply Vessel Services Workshop’ brought together local companies to discuss ways to improve readiness, safety, and capacity to participate in Suriname’s emerging offshore supply chain.

The first day of the event focused on the offshore industry context, including technical presentations on GranMorgu project demands, while the second day centered on strategic alignment and action planning.
