The first ship to successfully use oil as a fuel was the USS Elco 80-foot PT boat, which operated during World War II. However, the first significant use of oil in commercial shipping is often attributed to the SS Sphinx, a British steamship that was converted to run on oil in the late 19th century. This marked a pivotal shift in maritime fuel sources from coal to oil, paving the way for modern shipping practices.
