Global oil and shipping group, Monjasa, on Thursday (26 January) launched a mobile app to provide real-time data flows from its global tanker fleet and straight to customers.
The new Monjasa app offers a window into the heart of Monjasa’s trading and maritime operations to show what a more holistic industry approach may look like in 2023 and beyond, it said.
Years of data integration and IT-engineering have been invested into developing new digital workflows including access to features like customer satisfaction surveys, real-time price indications, document trails and instant supply notifications.
“Our tankers are often operating far from shore and around the globe, however, by sharing real-time data and business insights with our customers, we are closer connected to each other than ever before,” noted Anders Østergaard, Monjasa Group CEO.
“We are pushing digitalisation to the limit and our ultimate ambition is to provide complete end-to-end transparency across our operations as fast as the satellite technologies allow us to do it.”
Shipowners and charterers welcomed the development during a pre-launch of Monjasa’s new digital features.
“We are very glad to see Monjasa taking the next step towards improving and digitising the fuel supply chain end-to-end. Instead of exchanging multiple messages about individual fuel orders, this digital platform provides full transparency across all the transaction and logistic details,” commented Mauricio Lacayo, AVP, Supply Chain, Royal Caribbean Group.
“We are finding it very handy and helpful as a decision making tool as you will not only follow up on your fleet real time, but also on some key matters related to the market as fuel price, trends and news. I really like the feature of consumption calculation, units conversion and fuel specs so this will drive you to the app usage as a supportive tool,” stated Andrea Zapata, Ocean Freight Operations, Bunge.
