In the striving for zero climate impact, it is impossible to eliminate all emissions at once. With the new Vinga vessel series, Furetank has more than halved CO2 emissions. Now the company offsets the rest of their impact through certified carbon credits, all the way down to zero for 2021.
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.

När Furetanks senaste nybygge Fure Viten lämnar varvet i Yangzhou, Kina, är fartyget världsbäst i sin storlek när det gäller FN:s klimatmål för sjöfarten. Tack vare gasdrift och en unik kombination av bränslebesparande lösningar kommer man ner i rekordlåga 4,65 poäng på EEDI-skalan. Därmed når Furetanks nya fartygsserie utsläppsmålen för 2050 redan idag.
When Furetank’s new vessel Fure Viten leaves the shipyard, it is best in class globally when it comes to the UN climate goals for shipping. Thanks to gas propulsion and a unique combination of fuel-saving solutions, it reaches a very low EEDI value of 4.65. This means that Furetank’s new vessel series today already meets the emission targets for 2050.
