Nov 19 (Reuters) - Greek refiner Motor Oil MORr.AT reported a sharp rise in nine-month net profit on Wednesday, boosted by stronger third-quarter refining margins and an insurance payout after a fire at its Corinth refinery.
The group posted net earnings of 453.2 million euros ($523.1 million) for the January-September period, up from 224.1 million euros a year earlier.
