Bunker vessel “Monjasa Thunder” resumes US Gulf operations after Bahamas drydock

Marine fuel supplier Monjasa on Monday (6 July) said its 19,991 dwt bunker vessel, Monjasa Thunder, has returned to the US Gulf after completing its first ever drydocking in the Bahamas. 

The 2009-built vessel completed intermediate and docking surveys at the Grand Bahama Shipyard Limited in Freeport and is resuming full operation. 

“This scheduled drydock campaign was completed in close collaboration with Montec and involved everything from main engine and auxiliary engine overhauls, propeller blades maintenance, full recoating of hull and painting according to the Monjasa fleet design,” the company said. 

Since launching its offshore US Gulf operations in late 2024, Panama-flagged Monjasa Thunder has performed 272 deliveries with a 100% satisfaction rate on ship-to-ship operational service and a 0.36% claims ratio related to product quality. 

 Overall, Monjasa fleet comprises around 30 tankers and barges deployed worldwide.
