Fure Viten, a small 18,000 deadweight ton Swedish flag tanker, arrived on the North River Wednesday morning bound for the Buckeye terminal in Albany. The tanker is LNG powered, with tanks evident on the deck, and also able to run on liquified biogas. Fure Viten was constructed in 2021 in a shipyard in China and would have been subject to port fees assessed on Chinese-built vessels calling on US ports earlier this year, but those fees have now been suspended as a result of negotiations.

The tanker arrives from the refineries of Saint John, New Brunswick after first calling in Searsport, Maine and New Haven and is probably carrying a cargo of Canadian refined oil products for delivery upriver.
