A lot of countries have laws about which types of fuel can be used within territorial waters, usually they restrict it to marine diesel, so nobody is burning bunker oil in port.

Do ships have different fuel tanks to switch between just to enter territorial waters?

Some do, yes. Not sure how general this is. The price difference of the fuel is significant.
