Bunker fuel is an umbrella term for any fuel used in ships, including diesel. The term describes how the fuel is stored on board, not what it is made of.
Bunker fuel is a derivative of petrol, and more polluting than diesel, so your question very much still stands.
Alternatively, the container ship in the article is by CMA CGM, who are increasing their use of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). This fuel is being used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.
I wonder how much diesel those things (plus the trucks that pick up the containers) use - and if this will decrease oil prices?
Cargo ships don’t really use diesel, they run on bunker fuel.

Huh, never knew that. Thanks for sharing

That person is wrong. Diesel is a type of bunker fuel. Any fuel used on ships is bunker fuel. Including diesel, coal and everything else.
