As a global leader in the oil and shipping industries, Monjasa has established itself as a key player in West Africa’s maritime logistics, specializing in the trading and physical supply of marine fuels, oil terminal operations, and ship-owning activities. Offering a combination of efficiency, flexibility, and reliability, Monjasa is a critical partner in the region’s challenging bunker market.
With its strategic fleet expansion and operational expertise, Monjasa has streamlined bunkering and offshore supply services, catering to a wide range of vessel types and industry needs. A standout addition to the fleet this year, the Monjasa Hunter, is already proving to be a game changer. This vessel enhances Monjasa’s ability to navigate the region’s logistical complexities, including vast geographical coverage, local product sourcing, and specialized offshore operations.
Meeting Complex Maritime Demands
West Africa is known for its challenging maritime logistics, and Monjasa’s fleet is designed to meet these unique demands. From servicing fuel operations on Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessels to supporting offshore platforms, Monjasa’s fleet ensures seamless fuel delivery and support, regardless of vessel type or operational requirements.
The Monjasa Hunter, which joined the fleet earlier this year, has a carrying capacity of 8,000 tonnes despite its compact length of 101 meters, making it ideal for FSO operations and length-restricted environments. This asset enhances Monjasa’s operations, helping optimize fuel supply chains and increase efficiency across the region.
