The Demerara's width and depth allow oceangoing vessels to navigate up to Linden (105 km from the mouth), while smaller vessels may reach up to Malali (245 km from the mouth). Beyond Malali, numerous Rapid s make further upstream travel impossible. The islands Inver , Borselem , and Biesen are found 15 to 20 miles from the mouth. Borselem was once the Dutch capital of Demerara. A is also mined around the Demerara, and Linden is a major Export centre. |
