I wonder if we could get into a situation where there's no bunker fuel to ship crude to refineries that are able to make bunker fuel. Like a cold start problem

They don't refine crude into bunker oil so the ship's engine can use it. They do it to strip more valuable products out of the oil before using what's left to power the ship.
That's called refining.
