Monjasa, a leading oil and shipping group, announces the relocation of Monjasa Thunder (19,991 DWT) to Panama, where she will serve multiple purposes:
With her nearly 20,000 tonnes storage capacity and high technical specifications, including deep-well cargo pumps and multiple tank segregations, Monjasa Thunder is seen as an ideal floating storage option – the first of its kind in Panama.
At the same time, Monjasa Thunder brings new opportunities across the supply chain by also engaging in cargo import and export across Panama and the surrounding markets.
“We are always looking for ways to challenge the status quo and create more flexibility for shipowners in and around the Panama Canal – and combining bunkering, storage, and cargo operations is something no one else has done before,” says Rasmus Jacobsen, Managing Director, Monjasa Americas.
