Monjasa has further stated that will take full ownership of sourcing, shipping and supply of VLSFO in West Africa, Northwest Europe, Panama Canal and the Arabian gulf.
Earlier in October, the Danish bunker company, announced the completion of the first supply of very low sulphur fuel oil in Columbia in collaboration with Geogas. Specifically, the operation was conducted at Cartagena anchorage, and included the transfer of a total of 250 mts of VLSFO to the Geogas-owned LPG tanker, the 10,100 dwt Penelope M.
The company further aspires to acquire both VLSFO and MGO 0.1% products in Columbia, where the operation is conducted by two vessels and shore tanks in Cartagena.
