Yes. They pay little for fuel. Also afaik they do not use the waste heat. Though probably with the logistics train to some places the fuel can probably be expensive at times.

There used to be passenger ships with turbines too. They changed the engines to regular diesels at some point. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTS_Finnjet



I think they actually do reuse the waste heat in a way, not via steam, but by being recuperated.
