When the newbuilt tanker vessel Fure Vyl leaves the shipyard, Ailene Barrios heads the technical department on board. She is one of very few Filipino women in the business who have advanced to be a Chief Engineer. Furetank now hopes that more will follow.
We congratulate a competent and ambitious employee, Therese Boman, to taking the next step in her career and becoming a captain at Fure Vinga. Giving our employees the opportunity to develop their skills and follow their aspirations is a core value at Furetank.
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.
Embark on the maiden voyage of Fure Viten with us! Through a diary of photos, films and text updates, the crew will bring us along on the entire journey from the shipyard in China to Europe in this blog post.
