  • Furetank releases 2025 sustainability report

    The Furetank Sustainability Report is now released for 2025: a defining year in the company's sustainability journey. A decade has passed since the first VINGA series vessel order, designed for a future powered by renewable fuels. In 2025, this vision was finally realised and the Furetank fleet reached the 2040 EU greenhouse gas intensity targets — a full 15 years ahead of schedule.

  • They met at maritime college — Life as a couple at sea

    Josefine Radonné and Felicia Liljeroth are both newly qualified second officers at Furetank and a couple. They serve on separate vessels, spend half their time passing each other across European waters, but share coordinated schedules and make the most of their time together – and apart. They see real advantages in being a couple in the maritime industry.

Would you like to explore a VINGA vessel inside and out — right down to her nuts and bolts? We have had FURE VASA photographed in 360° in her entirety at the time of delivery. Take the tour of this contained seafaring universe via link in bio. Fancy doing the same tour in person? On 29 August, the public is welcome to come on board during the harbour festival at Uddevalla Hamnterminal. We are celebrating 40 years of successful vessel design together with FKAB Marine Design and hope to see you there! #shipping #sjöfart #sustainableshipping #shiplife #shipspotting

Report from Sweden's team at the Optimist European Championships in Poland this July: The team kicked off with a few days of training, finding their feel for the local winds and conditions and getting to know fellow sailors from across Europe. The competition itself brought challenges for these young but seasoned sailors: everything from near-calm to genuinely blustery conditions. The finals tested the fleet with tricky light winds, but the team still finished with placings to be proud of. We are happy to be part of your journey as sponsors @teamsweden_optieuro — and who knows, perhaps a career at sea awaits some of you in the future... @sailoptimist

Furetank is a proud sponsor of this young crew, aiming for gold at the Optimist European Championships in Gdynia, Poland this summer! Merely 13-15 years old, they are already seasoned competitors — having fought their way through 13 qualifying races to represent Sweden against young sailors from across Europe. The Optimist dinghy is the smallest racing sailboat in the world, yet the class with more sailors than any other. As the team themselves put it when they reached out to us — just like Furetank, they are not a giant, but a leader. We admire their spirit and wish @teamsweden_optieuro fair winds, following seas — and of course a medal to bring home! The best of luck to you Lovisa Axvi, Lisa Nilsson, Linnéa Wallström, Klara Ekstrand, Hugo Wallentin, Casper Ramm-Ericson & Gusten Angantyr as you @sailoptimist

Naming ceremony and 40 years of vessel design collaboration celebration: the last weekend of August will be a festive one! One of our VINGA vessels will be named at the Port of Uddevalla. On 29 August, during a harbour festival, she will be opened to the public — offering a rare opportunity to come on board and experience a modern tanker from the outside in. We also celebrate the partnership between Furetank and FKAB Marine Design, starting in the 1980s. The history of the companies is closely intertwined.  "FKAB's founder vouched for Furetank when we ordered our first modern tanker. That was the start of the journey that has brought us to where we stand today. Since we know operations and FKAB knows shipbuilding, our collaboration has been a winning equation over the years", said Jonatan Höglund, Deputy CEO, Furetank.  Read more at furetank.se/news #shipbuilding #shipping #sjöfart

A new tradition is born: the annual Fure Vesborg Independence Day Fishing Contest! The crew celebrated Philippines Independence Day by competing in one thrilling category: catching the most fish. Almost the entire crew took part with great enthusiasm, resulting in a total of 116 (!) catches. Right up until the final nail-biting moments, the competition at the top was incredibly tight. The final result: 🥇Big Boss Fisher: Pumpman Rodelito Jojo Sapanghila – 35 fish 🥈Senior Fish Officer: AB Pedro Naluis – 28 fish 🥉Assistant Fish Manager: Motorman Mervin Packing - 27 fish We look forward to an annual report from the contest — we expect the catch to vary with the location, this time being Schouwenbank Anchorage. Thus, the crew will be feasting on mackerel and horse mackerel for some time to come. We hope all fellow Filipinos across the world's oceans had a wonderful Independence Day! #lifeatsea #gonefishing
