Danish bunker and tanker group Monjasa has bought a chartered-in vessel to continue refuelling operations in the English Channel.

The company said the 3,600-dwt Fredericia (built 2008) had previously been operated by the group for several years.

"The ceaseless high performance of the vessel now leads to definitive Monjasa ownership," it added.

Monjasa set up a niche market in the English Channel in 2016, as an alternative for shipowners and operators taking bunkers in the ARA hub.
