Cruise ships use what type of fuel?

Answer 1

It's actually Heavy Fuel Oil - petroleum-based fuel which contains the undistilled residue from atmospheric or vacuum distillation of crude oil. It is also known as, Bunker Fuel Oil or No. 6 Fuel Oil.
In Alaska and other ecologically sensitive areas we burn HFO with a low sulphur content (ie, cleaner but more expensive) to cut down on emissions.
Some cruise ships also have gas turbine engines, and they run on Gas oil, a high grade oil thats rather expensive (our gas turbine costs about $10,000 an hour to run on max)

Answer 2

1. Mainly, burnt out fuel, which
is very cheap and have no other
major use.

2. Smaller ships use Low Speed
Diesel.

3. High speed diesel is never used,
as they are very expansive.

4. World leaders in using this
technology/ harnessing this
technolgy is Wartsila Diesels,
who manufactures such engines
for Cruise Ships.

5. The costs are at least 60% cheaper
than the conventional fuels.

Answer 3

Typically Diesel

Answer 4

Yes It is diesel
