Yvonne Höglund is a certified HR specialist and the latest member of Furetank’s owner family to step into the company. She has taken on the role as HR director, bringing experience from many years in retail and other industry segments.
Four of Furetank’s employees take turns overseeing the construction of eleven Vinga vessels in the upcoming years. We talked to Mikael Johansson and Joakim Skottborn about the challenges, joys and best practices in quality assuring the works of a Chinese shipyard.
The path that took Furetank’s business controller Wassim Salma from a war-torn Syria to a new life in Gothenburg is quite a story. Demonstrating for democratic rights he was forced to flee his home country, facing a very uncertain future. Little did he know that his job, branch of industry and hometown would all be mirrored in Sweden a few years later.
We made a film as we settled into the brand new office building in Hinsholmen, Göteborg. Please feel welcome to step inside and discover what it means for us to finally join the whole team in one place.
Many prominent visitors came on board Fure Vinga during the Furetank London event, bringing great expertise and experience with them. In this film, they share their thoughts on how we can promote sustainable shipping from both private and public sector.
A balanced share of women and men in crews is an important factor for everyone’s well-being on board. Furetank has actively strived to attract skilled female sailors for many years: an effort which has paid off in many respects.
The right vessel in the right location at the right time: flexibility and reliability are key parts of Furetank's services. In this film we invite you to our chartering department.
With solar panels and geothermal heating we reduce the HQ’s annual use of purchased energy by 80% and lower our CO2 emissions by 26 tonnes.
