Monjasa renames 10 owned tankers ‘to collectively reflect our identity’

Oil and shipping group Monjasa on Thursday (21 November) said it will be renaming 10 of its owned tankers.

“Monjasa has decided to rename the 10 owned tankers to collectively reflect our identity and belonging to the same shipping family,” said the firm which currently operates a global fleet of some 20 chartered and owned tankers of various capacities.

“The three tankers, Monjasa Performer, Monjasa Supplier and Monjasa Ranger have already been renamed and the remaining fleet will follow suit in connection with scheduled dry dockings.”

The 10 tankers are:

Monjasa Performer – Aarhus (3,798-dwt)
Monjasa Promoter – Fredericia (3,813-dwt)
Monjasa Partner – Delhi (3,813-dwt)
Monjasa Provider – Skaw Provider (4,279-dwt)
Monjasa Chaser – African Chaser (5,812-dwt)
Monjasa Sprinter – African Sprinter (8,125-dwt)
Monjasa Supplier – Amsterdam (8,839-dwt)
Monjasa Striker – Accra (8,885-dwt)
Monjasa Ranger – Annie (12,222-dwt)
Monjasa Runner – African Runner (13,781-dwt)

Monjasa in August attained full ownership of five tankers totalling 37,500 dwt.

“Securing the right modern tonnage to support the IMO 2020 low-sulphur fuel transition is important and with the right technical knowledge in place through our in-house ship management company, Montec, we can gain several advantages,” it said.

“An important feature is that all five tankers are well-equipped to meet the extended level of quality, including onboard segregation of several fuel types come 2020.

“Already at this point of the IMO 2020 transition, we experience increased supply flexibility from delivering up to three different fuel grades from the same vessel.

“As such, these recent tanker acquisitions benefit Monjasa from both an operational and financial perspective across core markets in the Arabian Gulf, West Africa and the Panama Canal.”
