  • 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

Ny EU-lagstiftning har gjort det möjligt för Furetank att slutligen fullborda den omställning som inleddes för tio år sedan.

A yearly highlight: @sjolog at @chalmers.university – now celebrating its 20-year anniversary. We feel that shipping students grow more ambitious and curious every year! We brought along Felicia Liljeroth and Josefine Radonné who approached us at Sjölog last year, expressing their interest in joining Furetank as interns. Today, they are both sailing with us as 2nd Officers and excellent ambassadors. A special mention goes to this year’s lucky winner of our popular Furetank quiz, who walked away with a highly sought-after suitcase: Jacob Woidt. He too has completed an internship with us, so we consider this a well-deserved trophy. We look forward to welcoming many of you students on board our vessels in the years to come – turning initial curiosity into international careers. 🌊 🌍 🚢 #shipping #sjöfart #lifeatsea

Our HR Director Yvonne Höglund and Personnel Manager Jonas Gunnarsson got an early taste of Christmas in the Philippines, meeting our highly appreciated crew members together with their families and our colleagues at @netshipph . We kicked things off with a officers conference, followed by a trip to Davao where Christmas was celebrated with our crew and their loved ones. Highlight of the party? Jonas going full Santa Claus for the crew’s kids 🎅 He’d better stay on the nice list — they might just be the next generation of Furetank seafarers… The visit also included a stop at the Naval Command School in Davao, interviewing first-year students, and the annual Netship audit in Manila. Thanks for having us, for fun and games, and many years of great collaboration!

Get to know Louise Torgnysdotter, Furetank’s new Chief Information Officer! “As the company’s first CIO, my role is incredibly diverse. Furetank has grown significantly in recent years. IT touches everything and is essential for progress across all areas: safety, sustainability, and marine logistics.  My first job after completing my Science in Informatics Masters degree was actually in shipping, as an IT coordinator at Broström Tankers. Since then, I’ve worked within defence and security, as IT Manager at Stena Stål, and most recently joined the electric vehicle company Polestar. I was thrilled when I was asked to come aboard Furetank. Shipping is a fascinating industry with fast decision-making and a close-knit, family-like atmosphere—the work becomes more of a lifestyle. I get to work closely with people and help connect the office and the vessels. Cybersecurity is a major priority. As a company with responsibilities within national security, we need strong contingency plans. A secure and stable IT environment is absolutely vital during a crisis.  What I enjoy most is finding the right IT solutions to meet our challenges ahead. When you work in information technology, you have to love solving these challenges—and I really do.” Thanks for joining us Louise!

We’re proud to share that Furetank has been nominated for the 2025 Biogas Award, recognizing key contributions to the development of biogas in Sweden! The awarding organization, BioDriv Öst, works to accelerate the transition to fossil-free transport and promote sustainable regional development. They see Swedish biogas as a cornerstone for a resilient fuel supply – and a sustainable, circular society. Here’s the jury’s motivation: “Biogas at sea? Absolutely – a natural choice for the family-owned shipping company Furetank from Donsö in the southern Gothenburg archipelago. They demonstrate how the maritime sector can reach its climate goals long before 2050. As early as 2015, the company converted a vessel to run on gas, and by 2018 they were already bunkering liquefied biogas (LBG). Gas-powered vessels with strong environmental performance have now secured their place in shipping. With a clear ambition to drive the climate transition forward, Furetank’s work is making waves even on international waters!” The award will be presented on December 3 — keep your fingers crossed for us... #shipping #sjöfart #SustainableShipping #biogas #biofuels

Who crafts the content on our social media? Say hello to @amandatermen at @sprangkommunikation . She shares everything happening around Furetank, big and small — from groundbreaking sustainability news to glimpses of life on board. “As a journalist at heart, I always look for sharp broad-interest news, as well as human stories that touch the heart and spark a smile. My areas of expertise are sustainability and innovation. All of this is what defines Furetank — which makes my assignment fun and rewarding. I worked on cruise ships in my younger years, so it feels special to come full circle and reconnect with the maritime world. It’s a unique environment where change is constant, and people live in the spirit of the possible. I love that. Furetank reaches far in this world — in the last five years, we’ve gained 8,000 followers on LinkedIn and been regularly featured in worldwide shipping media. The secret? A genuine ambition to do good for the world and achieve great things worth telling, of course. But we also offer that little extra that many other shipping companies don't share: lots of heart, a good dose of self-irony, and a splash of silliness. A CEO in pink Hello Kitty flip-flops can travel farther than a newly built vessel! My motto is: “If you’re making the world better — let's tell the world about it.” And that’s what I intend to do here at Furetank. A warm thank-you to all employees and Furetank friends who contribute photos and stories from the seas, agree to interviews, and leave cheerful comments in our social media. You are an important part of Furetank’s remarkable voyage.”
