@Samson: Steam generation depends on whether the boiler is cold or hot, i.e. if it is completely stopped (which is cold condition and takes more time to heat up and generate steam) or kept running (which means steam is available). if the boiler is cold, it may take up to 8 to 12 hours to efficiently generate steam without stressing the boiler. In ships, the boiler is usually kept hot at all times and steam supply is controlled using the main steam stop valve on top of the boiler.
In merchant ships, Heavy fuel and Marine gas oil are used as boiler fuel. The amount of fuel usage will depend on the capacity of the boiler.

But i am very curious to know two things about boilers, how long does the boiler must run in order to produce steam daily, this depends on what? and another thing what type of fuel if we use for a boiler that will be very economical as well as efficient. and what is the minimum fuel required for a specific steam generation.
