Celestyal Discovery becomes first ship in Greece to operate with marine biofuel blend
Celestyal has announced that its Celestyal Discovery is the first vessel in Greek waters to be refuelled using a marine biofuel blend.
The milestone delivery, conducted at the Port of Lavrion, was carried out by Coral Marine Products SA, part of Motor Oil Group, in partnership with Celestyal.
The locally-produced blend combines conventional marine fuel with a second-generation biofuel derived from recycled used cooking oils.
The innovation, created by Motor Oil’s subsidiary Verd, is fully compliant with the new ISO 8217:2024 standards and is credited with reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 21%.
