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)
Hope this helps

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.
