Latest big thing in ships are the Azipods, fully electric motor pods on swivels. Of course powered by massive diesel generators due to battery technology. Ships could be made full electric, but it would eat into cargo space more than fuel tanks and engines do now. And since the point of a cargo ship is cargo space that's going to be a stumbling block for a while.
