They no longer are allowed to use Bunker C. Global regulations require low sulfur fuel. In years past, the sulfur in the diesel fuel would help break down other crap the refiners would dispose of in the fuel oil they sold, so unused feed stock stock from paint or plastics could typically be blended in to get rid of it. Now with the low sulfur, those added impurities wreck havoc with marine diesels.
