Dégrad des Cannes, Commercial port in Rémire-Montjoly, French Guiana
Dégrad des Cannes is a commercial port in Rémire-Montjoly located along the Mahury River. The facility spreads across a large area with multiple berths and dedicated equipment for handling various types of cargo.
The port was established in 1974 to replace the older Cayenne harbor and meet growing maritime demands. This new facility marked a turning point in modern logistics for the region.
The port serves as the main gateway for goods flowing into and out of French Guiana. It shapes the economic rhythm of the region and connects it to the wider world.
The site is restricted and requires authorization for access. Visitors should arrange visits in advance by contacting the port directly.
An artificial channel connects the port to the sea and is dredged regularly to allow vessels through. This constant maintenance is essential to operations and often goes unnoticed, yet remains critical to all activity.
