Donsö – The world’s most inclusive place for shipping

The island of Donsö may well be the world’s most inclusive place for shipping. Despite its humble numbers with a population of less that 1500 people, Donsö shows a remarkable strength in leading the development of modern tanker business – of course with sustainable focus. Donsö is most definitely the hub of Swedish tanker business, and possibly the most shipowner-dense island in the World.
