Monjasa, a fuel supplier, has strengthened its physical supply operations in Colombia by deploying two new barges in Cartagena. The barges Roma 101 and Roma 304 have successfully passed the inspection programs of oil companies. This move allows Monjasa to have direct control over the supply chain in Cartagena.
Better Control Over the Supply Chain
Camilo Angulo Ferrand, Monjasa's Americas Business Manager, stated that this development has helped the company complete its supply chain with direct control from the supply stages at oil wells and refineries, through storage and blending, to the final delivery to ships. These barges are currently active in the Cartagena market and regularly conduct fuel supply operations.

High Standards for Fuel Supply
Colombia is a country that regularly exports crude oil, and therefore there is a need for suppliers with high standards for the fleet used in fuel supply. These standards are particularly important for large oil companies. Barge inspections refer to sharing inspection results and vessel status reports between the fuel supplier and the customer before or after barge operations. This is a standard database for vessel inspections managed by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF).
Monjasa currently supplies various fuels including HSFO, VLSFO, MGO, and custom biofuel blends through its operations in Cartagena. This allows the company to respond to the diverse needs of its customers while continuing to improve the quality of its services.
