Abstract
The article examines the main world trends in the field of fuel use for shipping. The need to replace the F-5 and F-12 fleet fuel oils, which are widely used by the merchant fleet of Ukraine today, with new, low-sulfur fuel, such as marine gasoil (MGO) or low sulfur marine gasoil (LS-MGO), is substantiated. The main problems that, taking into account the role of cargo transportation by sea in Ukraine, may arise during the transition of shipping to new types of fuel are characterized. At the same time, directions for solving these problems without a significant impact on the cost of freight transportation are proposed, which consist in the selection of raw materials, preliminary processing of raw materials, the use of the latest technologies and compounding of finished goods.
 In practice, in the production of marine fuel with low sulfur content, the most effective is the combination of several directions into a single technological chain: "selection of raw materials - the latest technologies" or "selection of raw materials - the latest technologies - compounding". Considering this, today, one of the most promising technological processes for the production of motor fuels, in particular marine fuels, in Ukraine can be considered catalytic pyrolysis on zeolites of secondary polymer raw materials.
