Monjasa adds five sister tankers in major fleet renewal deal

Global oil and shipping group, Monjasa is adding five sister tankers to its fleet in the company’s largestever tonnage acquisition, strengthening its activities in West Africa and providing greater flexibility across its global marine fuels supply operations.

The deal comprises five 16,621-dwt product tankers from German shipowner Bernhard Schulte, as part of the ongoing fleet renewal strategy and continued investments in reliable supply infrastructure. The first four tankers, Monjasa Tracer, Monjasa Tuner, Monjasa Twister and Monjasa Tracker have already been delivered and deployed in West Africa and Northwest Europe. The remaining vessel, Monjasa Trigger, is scheduled for delivery by end of November 2026.

Largest-ever tonnage acquisition in Monjasa “We are always looking at fleet renewal opportunities, but we are also very selective about where we invest. Finding five sister vessels of this quality, at competitive market terms and with an operating profile that fits our existing fleet, is not something you come across every day. This is the largest single tonnage acquisition in our history and it provides us more flexibility, strengthens our supply capabilities and keeps ensuring a solid platform for serving our customers in the years ahead,” says Group CEO, Anders Østergaard.

Five sister vessels bring operational benefits The acquisitions follow another active year in which Monjasa completed a total of 16,741 marine fuels operations in 2025. With a deadweight capacity of 16,621 tonnes each, the newly acquired vessels will strengthen the company’s ability to serve different markets and adapt its fleet deployment to changing patterns in global demand.
