The Caspian Sea – largest on the Land closed sea, interacting both with deep geological structure, and with external shell of the geographical ambience. With position of the system approach Caspian Sea – a geophysical body in the manner of comparatively fine layer of water, covering powerful sediment, subject to influence different factor developments.  The main by discriminating particularity Caspian epidemic deaths is an inconstancy its level. They are considered natural factors, influencing upon hydrological mode epidemic deaths, as well as scenario of the development of these processes.

The paper presents the results of the use of digital technologies to assess the environmental consequences of transport accidents related to oil and petroleum product spills in the Southern Port of Moscow during accidents on water transport. The relevance of the work is due to the high risk of occurrence and consequences of oil and petroleum product spills. The aim of the work is to assess and predict the characteristics of the negative impact of oil and petroleum product spills using modern digital technologies to reduce the anthropogenic impact during the operation of ships and the level of risk of transport accidents. For this purpose, the collection and processing of initial data for forecasting oil spills in the Southern Port of Moscow, modeling of oil product spills and, in fact, assessment of the characteristics of the negative impact were carried out.

The article studies the phenomenon of linguocultural literacy as one of the necessary competencies that should be inherent in a specialist in the maritime transport sector. The concept of “linguocultural literacy” is defined. The components in its hierarchical structure are described. The thesis is put forward that high linguocultural literacy developed in a student during the first two years of study at a university will allow him or her to subsequently successfully master special disciplines forming professional competencies, and then in the professional field to successfully build an individual career trajectory as a highly qualified specialist in the transport industry.

The article analyzes the results of a survey conducted among students of one of the Moscow universities as part of a long-term experiment “Swearing is not our format”. The problem of a sharp decline in the speech culture of Russian society, largely associated with the widespread rampant use of obscene language in all social and age groups, has become a problem of national scale. Countermeasures are prescribed at the highest level, since there is a frightening tendency to erode the cultural national code, but the mechanisms for monitoring the alignment of the situation have not yet been worked out and are ineffective. A local experiment and the events within its framework help to determine the most productive forms of neutralizing linguistic licentiousness among students (in groups, at a faculty, at an institute, at a university) and can become a useful experience for correcting the situation in other educational institutions.

This article addresses the relevance of studying the Persian language for maritime transport professionals. Considering Iran's strategic location on the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, proficiency in Persian becomes a key factor for effective interaction in the field of international maritime shipping. The paper examines Iran's role as a significant player in maritime trade and logistics, and analyzes the importance of the Persian language as a communication tool in professional activities. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of maritime terminology in Persian and the challenges that specialists may encounter in translation and communication. The article argues for the necessity of including Persian in the professional training programs for maritime transport specialists and offers recommendations for effective language learning.

The article considers the relevance of unmanned vessels (UV). Over the past decade, many countries have been developing UV of different classes and the interest in UV is growing every year. That is why Russia actively engaged in this process within the framework of the National Technology Initiative. The relevance of crewless shipping (CS) is beyond doubt. Safety is one of the main conditions for high–quality transportation by any type of transport. The main and most frequent cause of accidents at sea remains the human factor. We should not ignore that technological progress presents both opportunities and challenges. The problem of regulatory support remains. Pioneer-M is the first unmanned research vessel in Russia. The training of specialists in the field of unmanned vessels operation is one of the most complex challenges. There is a need to introduce an educational program to train unmanned vessel operators and to retrain navigators of traditional type.

The article describes an application developed by the author in Visual Basic, which implements one of the methods of artificial intelligence – a genetic algorithm for solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP problem) and provides an example of solving a specific problem.
