Swedish tanker company, Furetank, has ordered two more dual-fuel product tankers at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Yangzhou for delivery in late 2024 and early 2025.

The 17,999dwt ice-class tankers, with a total cargo capacity of 20,306m3 in twelve epoxy-coated tanks, are numbers 14 and 15 in the Vinga-class series. They ships have scored the best energy efficiency design index (EEDI) ratings of any tankers in their segment, Furetank said in a statement.

Operating primarily on LNG/LBG, energy-saving features on the hybrid tankers include battery packs and 6.6-kV cargo pumps. These will enable connection to shore power systems as soon as they become available.

Lars Höglund, Furetank CEO, declared: “The fact that we have been able to build 15 vessels of the same design shows that they fulfil a need in our market. In our view, it proves we were right to put considerable efforts and investments into an efficient and environmentally friendly design. When we replace old tankers with these top-modern ships it makes a major difference for climate, environment, and human health.”
