This doesn't make a lot of sense since passenger vehicles use low sulfur diesel while cruise ships don't

> Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) is a standard for defining diesel fuel with substantially lowered sulfur contents. As of 2016, almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuel available in the UK, mainland Europe, and North America is of a ULSD type.

These bottles are sold at Spar, Aldi (Hofer) and many others.

However they don't have Pfand and are not reused at the moment [1]. At least not comercially. They make great containers for sugar or flour. According to the source they will start the reusing "beginning 2020".
