Monjasa's bunker tanker Accra supplies marine fuel in the Panama Canal

Monjasa transfered its 2010-built, 8,800 dwt bunker tanker Accra to Panama Canal to supply global shippers with bunker fuel. In 2018 the company delivered 450,000 tonnes of marine fuel in the Panama Canal stepping up as the 2nd largest local bunker supplier.

"As part of a fleet reshuffle, Accra arrived in Panama after forming part of Monjasa’s West Africa bunker operation. The tanker fast received all safety and operational approvals from the Panama Maritime Authorities and completed her first fuel supply at Balboa Anchorage on 18 January", Monjasa said in its press release.

“Today, the total fleet of bunker barges in Panama holds an average age of 31 years and 3,100 dwt. So, employing our own quality tanker brings new opportunities for shippers transiting the Canal and further helps us challenge status-quo in the local market,” explains Monjasa Americas Managing Director, Rasmus Jacobsen.

Monjasa manages two additional barges in the Panama Canal – one in Balboa and one in Cristóbal – and currently delivers around 40,000 tonnes of bunkers monthly.

The Monjasa Group is a Danish founded and privately held company and is fully owned by Monjasa co-founder, Anders Østergaard. The company has 500 employees and supplies annually 3.5 million tonnes of marine fuels worldwide.
