I saw that the 212 boats have to be filled up with liquid hydrogenium now and then.

There is 'marine Diesel' in Germany used for yachts and the like, the bulk masses of LSFO fuel oil for freighters is at the very lowest end of what you could call a fuel, it indeed stinks and pollutes everything it comes in contact with.
Problem is not ony the burning and (trying) cleaning the exhaust gases, but that merchants and cruise ships of all nations just flush the tanks with seawater now and then to clean them, releasing the accumulated toxic sticky bottom grime into the ocean. As long as this is 'best practice' the exhaust gases are of lesser concern  |
The ships i was on most of these were built in the 1970's /80's (except the VLCC she was a mid 90's)
The did mix waste water and oils into the bilge and discharge them over the side.
However I'm reliably told that the new creations post 2005 there's actually no way to discharge anymore, I know the triple E's of Maersk are unable to discharge waste (including oils) over the side and have to offload it in port
