On October 20, 2025, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) and Repsol announced a landmark eight‑year agreement to supply renewable marine fuels at the Port of Barcelona. The deal will provide a portfolio of biofuels and, starting in 2029, renewable methanol directly to NCLH’s vessels across all three brands when calling at the port.
The partnership aligns with NCLH’s Sail & Sustain program, which targets a 10 % reduction in greenhouse‑gas intensity by 2026 and 25 % by 2030. By securing a long‑term supply of renewable fuels at a key European hub, NCLH can decarbonize its fleet without engine modifications, meeting evolving regulatory requirements and advancing its Net Zero 2050 commitment.
The renewable fuels supplied under the agreement are certified under the ISCC EU framework, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Access to these fuels is expected to lower operating fuel costs as renewable options become more cost‑competitive, while also enhancing NCLH’s reputation as a leader in sustainable cruising and potentially attracting a growing segment of environmentally conscious travelers.
