" Thun Tankers is part of the Erik Thun Group, a company owned by the Källsson family since 1938. Continual improvement is our objective, and these ordered vessels are good examples of how we make a difference in the global perspective by being responsible and do our part. To further widen the offer towards our clients, we have combined our long experience with several new features thus
reducing our climate footprint even more. The ships will be reliable and easy to operate in the intense coastal trade which they are built for, to function well over the entire lifespan.“ With Thun Resource delivered and in trade, we walk our sustainability talk, enabling Nynas AB with the most resource efficient, high quality coastal tanker available for the trade” - Joakim Lund, CCO at Thun Tankers BV.
