Cargo ships predominantly use "Fuel Oil".

When crude oil is refined the ligher oils [petrol, kerosene, Diesel, etc] are extracted from the top. The remaining oil is Fuel oil.

This is a low quality fuel that is dark brown/black in colour and very viscous [thick]. the fuel does not flow well under normal temperature. It is generally heated up to 80 deg C before being injected into the engine.
