Furetank har omvandlat sitt tidigare kontor på Donsö utanför Göteborg till ett toppmodernt maritimt utbildningscenter för att öka svenska rederiers tillgång till kompetent personal. Att fylla besättningarna är en av sjöfartens största utmaningar idag. Den 23 augusti bjuder vi in media att testköra den avancerade fartygssimulatorn. Vi kan utlova ett spännande, bild- och filmmässigt reportage!

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.

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.
