Sustainability is at the core of our expedition 2022/2023. Therefore, we have started a process of identifying how we can improve and what we can do to make sure we make responsible decisions and take actions for a sustainable future.
This process includes the expedition, the ship and the organisation around it. Trialing biofuels while sailing to Stockholm this summer was one such important step. Conducting a climate report next year, to identify our climate impact and actions going forward is another.
Recently, to kickstart our internal work, we had a workshop with our partner CSR Västsverige.
Our ambition is to be transparent about the work we do, and share the progress that we make – big and small steps – together with information and inspiration around sustainability. At the heart of what we do is of course to care of our oceans, but together with our partners we want to embrace all parts of sustainability, and how innovation is one of the routes forward to create a sustainable future.

Greencarrier and the City of Gothenburg have agreed on their ambition to create a long-term home for the East Indiaman at Masthuggskajen. The goal is for the ship to play a central role in a new historical experience center, planned for completion in 2031, and to help create a more vibrant waterfront promenade near Järntorget.
During the evening we will be joined by Mats Berggren, who during the construction period represented the Swedish Maritime Administration as a determined and persistent inspector, and Marie-Louise Edholm, who took part in building the rigging, has sailed with the ship, and has been responsible for the maintenance of the rig. You will gain insight into traditional craftsmanship, material choices, and the many challenges involved in combining historical authenticity with modern safety and operational requirements. If you were involved during this period, perhaps you have a story of your own to share. We would love to hear it! About halfway through the lecture, coffee and pastries will be available for purchase. All proceeds will go directly toward the re-rigging of the ship. Registration is free of charge. Please register by emailing: vanner@gotheborg.se A warm welcome! The Friends of East Indiaman Götheborg Association
Following growing interest in the future of the East Indiaman Götheborg, Greencarrier now presents detailed plans for a new permanent quay location and an adjacent experience center at Masthuggskajen in Gothenburg. The ambition is to create a new destination in the city ahead of the 300th anniversary of the Swedish East India Company in 2031. The first vision images are now being presented.
