Celsius’s Role in Sustainable Maritime Investments
Celsius, a leading ship owner, will contribute its expertise in sustainable, fuel-efficient vessels. With one of the largest modern LNG carrier fleets globally, Celsius is committed to supporting energy transition through cost-effective, eco-friendly shipping solutions.
Supporting the Energy Transition
Both MET and Celsius emphasize LNG’s role in Europe’s energy transition. MET Chairman Benjamin Lakatos highlighted the importance of LNG in meeting Europe’s energy needs, while Celsius Chairman Jeppe Jensen pointed out the critical role of efficient LNG carriers in facilitating the green energy shift.
