Monjasa has been supplying VLSFO and LSMGO in Houston for the last five years.

Its new offshore US Gulf operation will focus on larger vessels including oil, chemical and gas tankers that cannot access bunkering locations in the Houston Ship Channel.

It will focus on key supply locations along the US Gulf Coast, including the Galveston Offshore Lightering Area (GOLA), Southwest Pass (SWP), South Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi Offshore. 

As part of the new operation, Monjasa has chartered a 16,626-dwt tanker, the MT Stenheim.
