Denmark | October 22, 2025 – In a major development for the global marine fuel industry, Monjasa, a top 10 global marine fuels supplier, has been officially awarded a prestigious contract to supply marine fuel to NATO forces across multiple operational zones. The contract was granted by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to Monjasa’s Danish entity, Monjasa A/S, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and reputation for reliability and compliance.
A Strategic Win in Defence Marine Fuel Supply
The framework contract, now fully operative, spans five Areas of Operations (AOOs) and is designed to ensure uninterrupted fuel availability for NATO operations in strategically important regions. The initial term of the contract is set for one year, with the option to extend for an additional two years.
This award underscores the critical importance of fuel security and quality in military logistics, where reliability and compliance with international standards are non-negotiable. It also reflects Monjasa’s expanding role in serving not just commercial shipping but also the defence sector with tailored, high-assurance fuel services.
“Meeting the right quality standards is a prerequisite for winning specialised international tenders,” says Ulrik Østergaard, General Manager Northwest Europe at Monjasa. “This new contract award comes on the back of years of investments in our logistics and in establishing a modus that supports extended documentation requirements and overall transparency. Our aim is to deliver consistent high service levels and maritime operations matching the demand from our global partners.”
Operational Scope: Reseller & Fleet-Backed Supply
Under the agreement, Monjasa will support NATO operations both as a fuel reseller and through its own fleet operations. This dual capability reinforces the company’s flexibility and responsiveness, especially in dynamic operational theatres.
Monjasa’s robust maritime infrastructure includes 35 tankers and barges operating globally, and the company conducted fuel deliveries across 784 ports worldwide in 2024. The scale and reach of its operations ensure readiness to meet NATO’s diverse and evolving fuel needs.
Quality, Compliance & Transparency at the Core
Securing this contract also highlights Monjasa’s stringent adherence to international quality standards. The company has long prioritized transparency, safety, and environmental responsibility, reflected in its ongoing investment in Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (HSEQ) protocols.
With a presence in 16 international offices and a strategically deployed fleet, Monjasa is uniquely positioned to deliver fuel solutions at the intersection of commercial excellence and military-grade precision.
