Börsnoterade kanadensiska rederiet Algoma miljardinvesterar tillsammans med svenska Furetank i fyra tankfartyg av högsta globala klimatklass. För Algoma betyder det internationell expansion och för Furetank ett bevis för att företagets nya serie miljöanpassade fartyg nått internationellt erkännande.
Furetank has signed a contract for a new dual-fuel tanker. It will become number eleven in the Vinga series of globally top-performing sister vessels when it comes to energy efficiency and climate footprint.
Spectacularly moored on the Thames in downtown London, Fure Vinga opened up to 500 invited visitors as the first intermediate tanker in the world which will reach UN 2050 climate targets for shipping. 170 IMO delegates, meeting in London to advance global restrictions of greenhouse gas emissions, came onboard to see how the Swedish shipping company Furetank has turned their targets into practice.
Spektakulärt förtöjd på Themsen i centrala London öppnades Fure Vinga upp för 500 inbjudna besökare, som kom för att se det första tankfartyget i sin klass som når FN:s klimatmål för sjöfarten. 170 IMO-delegater är i London för att skärpa de globala restriktionerna av växthusgasutsläpp. De fick uppleva hur svenska rederiet Furetank har omsatt deras mål i praktiken.
A highly efficient propulsion system is key in reducing carbon emissions from our Vinga vessels by 55%. We designed the system in cooperation with Wärtsilä, combining many innovative and energy-saving features. This film tells you all about it.
Today we are proud to release the very first Furetank sustainability report, summing up all of our green efforts during 2021.
Many onboard and underwater systems are traditionally based on chemicals that are inevitably released to the oceans to some extent. With the VINGA vessel series, Furetank has taken several innovative measures in order to leave harmful substances behind and find new solutions.
As the first shipping company in Sweden, Furetank has been granted a green credit guarantee by the Swedish Export Credit Agency for financing a vessel of top-class environmental and climate standard. The approval is pioneering for shipping, enabling vast investments in the green technology required to achieve European climate goals.
Som första rederi i Sverige har Furetank beviljats den nya gröna kreditgarantin av Exportkreditnämnden, för finansiering av ett fartyg med högsta miljö- och klimatprestanda. Beskedet är en dörröppnare för sjöfarten och möjliggör miljardsatsningar på den gröna teknik som krävs för att nå Sveriges och EU:s klimatmål.
An important factor behind lowering CO2 emissions from our Vinga vessels by 55 percent is the focus on energy savings. In this film we show how we designed the vessels and optimized all onboard equipment.
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.
Liquefied biogas is one of the keys to fossil-free shipping – but lack of supply is a major issue. The Swedish shipping company Furetank has signed a letter of intent with Eskilstuna Biogas, enabling the development of a new biogas plant producing around 5,000 tonnes of LBG annually.
