Five years in the U.S. for Monjasa


Bunker firm aims to increase its market share by strengthening its team.



Bunker firm Monjasa is celebrating five years of business in the U.S. market.

Since establishing its trading office in Stamford, Connecticut, during 2011, the company has expanded its team to four traders (Frederik Jungmark, Kasper Madsen, Matt V. Konchan and Robert Rosano), two finance and administration staff (Jolanta Coppola and Jessica Todd) in addition to General Manager Juan Carlos Charris and Managing Director Rasmus Jacobsen.

"Today, our market approach remains unchanged; bringing new solutions to the table and demonstrating ourselves as a fresh and different trading partner in a historically well-consolidated bunker market with high entry barriers," the company explained in a statement.

Commenting on the future, Juan Carlos Charris said: "In the near future, our US office is bound to further penetrate the local market and develop our reselling capabilities in this area. In order to heightening [sic] our US market share, we will be looking to further strengthening our organisation. We already have an experienced team of bunker traders in place in the US and now it is time to further develop this solid platform."

"Since establishing our trading office in Stamford, CT during 2011, we have devoted our attention to engage into trustful new business partnerships. As of 2016, it is our desire to further accelerate this process," Monjasa added.

In addition to attending the upcoming Connecticut Maritime Association conference, CMA Shipping 2016, on 21-23 March 2016, Monjasa will be hosting an open house event at its office on March 22, at 7:00 p.m., where it will be serving refreshments and snacks.
