History
Moengo is a small village near the Cottica river. For at least 3 decades Moengo was the center of the mining activities of Suralco, who constructed the Moengo dock for the export of bauxite and the import of several other goods.
For decades the Moengo dock was one of the busiest docks in the replublic of Suriname. In the late nineties Suralco moved its mining front to the Coermotibo river, the Moengo dock became redundant and was sold to a private company in 1994. The new owners demolished buildings and sold them as scrap.
In 2004, Traymore N.V. bought the dock of Moengo. The dock was rehabilitated and certified in order to be able to facilitate current and future activities in the Moengo area.
