Nine trainees join Monjasa at dynamic industry moment
At a moment where oil and shipping is more on the global agenda than ever, Monjasa welcomes nine fresh trainees as part of the Monjasa Oil & Shipping Trainee (MOST) programme.
Geopolitics, energy security and shifting trade flows are currently reshaping the oil and shipping industries we used to know. For newcomers, this is a moment to contribute early, commit personally and help shape how the sector evolves through volatile moments.
This year, the MOST programme includes locations across Singapore, Denmark, Panama, USA, UAE – and for the first time, Japan.
Joint onboarding in Denmark
Before the official enrolment at the Danish Shipping Education in Copenhagen, all nine trainees gathered for offsite onboarding activities in Denmark.
The purpose of the weekend was simple: getting to know one another and building friendships across countries, cultures and offices. Through a mix of team challenges, personal reflections and plenty of smile & joy, the trainees shared their first experiences and created memories that mark the beginning of their two-year journey together.
A value-based international shipping career
“At Monjasa, our values come down to something very human: treating people with the same respect and care we hope to receive ourselves. We want colleagues to build strong professional capabilities, but equally in an environment that supports a personal business mindset from the get-go – and we are welcoming a carefully selected batch of new shipping professionals to do just that,” says Group HR Director, Tracy Palm.
The Monjasa Oil & Shipping Trainee batch 2026:
- Sneha Singh, Trader in Singapore
- Luca Pendrini Resende, Trader in Panama
- Luke Shepard, Trader in Houston
- Rodi Moazzeni, Trader in Copenhagen
- Siff Hede Pihl, Trader in Fredericia
- Sara Rasbech Rytter, Operator in Fredericia
- Villads Møller Skov, Trader in Fredericia

Enrolment in the Danish Shipping Education
MOST is a global two-year programme that offers broad knowledge about the shipping industry through the enrolment in the Danish Shipping Education and hands-on experience in how Monjasa fuels global trade.
Candidates accepted into the MOST programme also become part of two global rotations across Monjasa offices in Dubai, Denmark, Panama, Singapore, China, Cyprus, Greece and USA. This provides everyone with a unique understanding of different business contexts and cultures and gradually develops and prepares the candidates for a life in global shipping.
Overall, a total of 51 Monjasa Oil & Shipping Trainees have graduated the programme, which has been running since 2018.
