The bunker industry is growing increasingly complex these years. To better fit and surpass new regulations and operational requirements, Monjasa has since 2013 invested a lot of resources to ensure that we operate in a way that secures commitment to Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ) backed by the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO).
Today, our combined commitment to ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 makes us stand out in the bunker industry.

Appointing DNV-GL as new external auditor
Since Monjasa’s first certification process in 2014, Bureau Veritas has conducted the external audits across the Group. However, this year Monjasa has transferred its ISO-certificates to leading global quality assurance and risk management company DNV-GL.

Starting discussions on quality with suppliers and customers
“With everyone in the shipping industry busy preparing for IMO’s 2020 Global Sulphur Cap, the importance of quality management from sourcing to delivery is only going to increase. In our day-to-day business, our ISO certified management systems allow us to start a dialogue with our suppliers and customers around quality and to document our efforts and progress,” explains Group COO, Svend Mølholt.
2017 was in many ways a positive year for the Monjasa Group. We experienced improved profitability in our operations and we continued making progress in optimising operational expenditures. Together, this led to a financial turnaround compared to an unsatisfactory 2016.

We must accept challenges and solve them and thereby attain respect; as a professional company and as individuals in general. Our corporate culture shall originate in mutual respect; towards our business partners, our professional tasks and internally colleague-to-colleague within our organisation.
We must never lean back and let satisfaction with obtained results become our attitude. Our corporate culture shall be accompanied by a will to improve and do better. Better than others – and better than we did last time.
It must be fun to work! Every day we are top-serious and professional, yet it is important that we maintain room for our sense of humour and mutual smiles; both internally and towards our business partners. We believe that smiling and laughing is an invaluable part of our working day and in this respect, we very much believe in ‘what you give is what you get’. By maintaining this culture, we believe that we can continue to be our employees’ preferred hobby.
As a company and as individuals we shall be positively curious towards our business environment. By constantly acquiring new and better knowledge, we shall secure our customers and vendors the best collaboration, where all dimensions of our mutual tasks are taken into consideration at all times.
