On Friday, May 3, we had the pleasure of naming and launching the ‘Thun Reliance’. She is the second of eight ordered product tankers in our “Resource Efficiency Class”, being built by Scheepswerf Ferus Smit BV.
The vessel was named by Godmother Camilla Dimberg, Head of Physical Management at Preem. Upon delivery, the Thun Reliance will enter a long-term employment with Preem. The vessel will be technically managed by MF Shipping Group. You can find out more in our press release.
The Erik Thun Group is pleased to announce the addition of further four new vessels ordered. Two multi-purpose dry cargo vessels and two coastal tankers have been ordered and will be built by Shipsveerf Ferus Smit B.V. in the Netherlands. This order brings the current order book from Shipveerf Ferus Smit B.V up to fourteen vessels and our current order book up to fifteen vessels in total.

Last week we announced the order of four 7999 mts dwt tankers. The ordered “Resource Efficiency Class” vessels are an addition to the two previously ordered sisters, extending the series to six identical coastal tankers. Focus on resource efficiency, environmental responsibility and logistical reliability has been key in the design process.
The six ordered ’R-class’ sisters will be built by Scheepswerf Ferus Smit BV in the Netherlands with delivery from 2024 and onwards. Please find out more in our press release.
We have taken delivery of our third vessel in the “E-class” series; Thun Equality. She will be trading within the Gothia Tanker Alliance network. Her first destination was the port of Kalundborg in Denmark where she will start operating. Please find out more reading our press release.
