  • Furetank launches company for trading emission reductions in shipping

    The FuelEU Maritime regulation opens new pathways for the shipping industry to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. Swedish shipping company Furetank is now taking the lead, reducing its own emissions to a fraction through biogas operations and launching a subsidiary to help more shipping companies trade emission reductions. The goal is to accelerate the transition to fossil-free shipping.

  • Furetank startar bolag för handel med utsläppsminskningar i sjöfarten

    Regelverket FuelEU Maritime öppnar upp nya vägar för sjöfarten att minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser dramatiskt. Svenska tankrederiet Furetank går nu före i utvecklingen, sänker de egna utsläppen till en bråkdel genom biogasdrift och startar ett dotterbolag som ska hjälpa fler rederier handla med utsläppsminskningar. Så vill man bidra till att accelerera omställningen till en fossilfri sjöfart.

  • Furetank achieves fossil-free vessel operations with renewable fuels

    Furetank is now taking a crucial step towards fossil freedom, operating its EU-based fleet on biogas. A large-scale agreement for mass-balanced biomethane enables an immediate transition to renewable operations. New EU legislation has made it possible for Furetank to finally complete the shift it initiated a decade ago.

  • Furetank uppnår fossilfri fartygsdrift med förnybara bränslen

    Furetank tar nu ett avgörande steg mot fossilfrihet och driver sin EU-baserade fartygsflotta på biogas. Ett storskaligt avtal för massbalanserad biometan möjliggör en omedelbar övergång till förnybar drift. Ny EU-lagstiftning har gjort det möjligt för Furetank att slutligen fullborda den omställning som inleddes för tio år sedan.

  • Furetank participates in historic national defense exercise

Ship Diary part 10: coming home

And so we reached the end of Fure Viten’s maiden journey, passing the small island of Donsö and the home of Furetank. Step by step we are settling in on the ship which is running just as smoothly and efficiently as we hoped. Thank you for following us all the way from China to Europe! We send you off with a few highlights from the last few days at sea and life on board, as Fure Viten joins her sister vessels in our modern and sustainable tanker fleet.

Ship Diary part 8: The Suez Canal

We had a sunny, hot and long day passing through the canal. Instead of going around Africa, the Suez Canal saves us about 5000 nm and almost 3 weeks on our voyage to Europe.
Fure Viten completed the canal passage with flying colours, now the vessel is finally in the Mediterranean. 

Up next: discharging in Barcelona.

Ship diary part 7: the Piracy High Risk Area.

It has been busy days onboard Fure Viten. A couple of days after passing Sri Lanka we hade three very welcome guests onboard, a security team. Together we prepared the vessel for passing the Piracy High Risk Area in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea. Mounting fire hoses around the vessel to make it harder to climb onboard, making sure all areas were locked and conducting drills is just a few examples of security measures taken.

After a safe passage the security team left us in the Red Sea. A big thanks to you!

Next stop: the Suez Canal.

Ship diary part 3: Flying the Swedish flag
Hoisting the blue and yellow banner means that Fure Viten now belongs to Furetank and can head for home. In the picture you see the proud crew of a vessel that gained a lot of media attention the last few days, for already meeting the IMO 2050 emission targets. Starting her maiden voyage surely is a good feeling. Next time we will report from the open sea and let you know how she performs!
