Erik Thun AB gör sin största satsning hittills i vidareutbildning av såväl ombordanställd som landanställd personal genom den nya online-utbildningsplattformen Seably. I det första skedet gäller det personal på kontoret i Lidköping och samtliga ombordanställda på fartyg under färöisk flagg, vilka opereras från Lidköping.
-Precis som många andra rederier ser vi att våra anställda är det viktigaste vi har. De tar hand om våra tillgångar på ett bra sätt och det är viktigt att de får möjlighet att utbilda sig vidare. Förr hade man sin roll och den var rätt statisk. Vi ser att det är många som gör karriär i företaget och hittar nya roller, säger Henrik Källsson, vice VD för Erik Thun AB.

Erik Thun AB has published its sustainability report for 2019. The sustainability report is a way to describe the economic, environmental and social impacts of our everyday activities, as a complement to the annual report. Shipping is a controlled industry and restricted in many ways by global policies and sustainability has constantly been an important part in how we work and do business.
We have focused on our environmental, social, and business ethical responsibilities, describing how we work proactively to analyze risk and avoid incidents. We also strive to be technical innovators when it comes to clever solutions that minimize the environmental footprint.

Vårt lastfartyg Kinne lossade idag ett fyrtiotal moduler i Frihamnen i Göteborg som ska användas till det pågående bygget av temporära bostäder på Kvillepiren på Hisingen. Det är första gången som leveransen sker med båt och det innebär en 60-procentig reduktion av koldioxid jämfört med om godset transporterats med lastbil.
