Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Monjasa-Striker

On December 19, 2016, Monjasa Group recognized the extraordinary efforts of the captain and crew of the tanker 'Accra' with the prestigious Seafarer of the Year 2016 award bestowed by Lloyd's List. The honor comes in light of a dramatic rescue operation undertaken on July 4th off the coast of East Africa. While navigating the Mozambique Channel, 'Accra' responded to a mayday signal and witnessed distress rockets launched by the five-man crew of the offshore vessel 'Fiona.' This vessel had suffered a total blackout, leaving it adrift for 24 hours without power or long-distance communication capabilities. The team aboard 'Accra' swiftly coordinated with Monjasa’s technical ship management division, Montec, to prepare for emergency towing and the potential evacuation of the 'Fiona' crew. Demonstrating exceptional seamanship, the crew of 'Accra' remained in the area for nearly two days, offering vital morale support, food, and communication assistance to the distressed vessel's crew. Early on July 6, a nearby fishing vessel arrived, equipped with batteries and tools, which enabled the 'Fiona' to restore its power and propulsion systems. Monjasa's shipping department extended thanks and recognition to the 'Accra' crew for their exemplary response to a critical situation, emphasizing that their decisive actions played a crucial role in the successful resolution of the incident. The commendation reflects not only their professionalism but also the profound impact of teamwork at sea during emergencies.

In a brazen act of piracy, the cargo vessel "SP Athens" fell victim to an armed robbery on the night of March 11, 2010. The incident occurred approximately 2.6 miles southeast of Tandzhung Ajjam, Malaysia, within the busy waters of the Malacca Strait. Under the cover of darkness, a group of unidentified armed individuals boarded the ship from the stern. Once inside, they overpowered and restrained a mechanic in the engine room, before making off with various spare parts and tools. The assailants executed their plan swiftly, disappearing without a trace before the crew change revealed the situation. Despite a thorough search of the vessel, the robbers managed to evade capture, leaving the crew and shipping community on high alert.
