bunkers/bunker oil/bunker fuel
The choice depends on your audience. I think the Brits use "bunkers", as at the first reference and in this from http://www.helcom.fi/Recommendations/en_GB/rec24_6/:
"1.2 Definitions
.1 “Bunker ship”: A ship, which delivers bunkers to a receiving ship.
.2 “Receiving ship”: A ship, which receives bunkers or other oils covered by Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
.3 “Bunkers”: Fuel oils and other petroleum products necessary for the operation of a ship.
Their rebellious offspring use "bunker oil" or "bunker fuel", as at the second reference below.
