Its even more complicated than that. The larger ships switch fuels between heavy fuel oil (for use on ocean passage) and lighter, low sulphur marine diesel when in designated areas (esp around USA). Many are now turning to LNG. The inclusion of shipping in the emissions legislation is a real headache for the industry.
