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.
Flytande biogas är en av nycklarna till framtidens fossilfria sjöfart – men bristande tillgång är ett stort problem. Nu skriver Donsörederiet Furetank och Eskilstuna Biogas en avsiktsförklaring som gör det möjligt att bygga en ny anläggning som producerar runt 5 000 ton flytande biogas årligen.
Furetank has signed a contract for a new dual-fuel tanker. It will become number nine in the Vinga series of globally top-performing sister vessels when it comes to energy efficiency and climate footprint.
The right vessel in the right location at the right time: flexibility and reliability are key parts of Furetank's services. In this film we invite you to our chartering department.
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.

Furetank, based on Donsö in the Gothenburg archipelago, is a Swedish, family-owned shipping company active in tanker shipping since the early 1950’s. Furetank operates our own vessels and is a founding member of the Gothia Tanker Alliance: a market platform for small and intermediate product tankers, operating 40 vessels in European waters. We are not a giant but a leader – continuously striving to adopt green solutions for environment and climate.
