Danish bunker and tanker group Monjasa has acquired a West African vessel it has been operating on a bareboat charter.

The 8,200-dwt African Sprinter (built 2005) will continue bunkering operations off Namibia.

It was serving a three-year charter and was previously reported sold to Monjasa in 2014, but this was only a bareboat deal, the company said.

The previous owner is listed as Eships of the UAE.
