ABSTRACT
Increasing competition in the international market of transport services, due to the accelerated economic growth of the countries of East and South-East Asia and the formation of international transport corridors bypassing Russia make it necessary to create a competitive Maritime transport and logistics infrastructure (MTLI) in the Caspian region, whose favorable geographical location allows realizing the foreign trade and transit potential of cargo transportation through the territory of Southern Russia.
Basing on the systematization of open data, the structural and content characteristics of the components of the following Caspian sea transport and logistics infrastructure is presented: sea ports of Astrakhan, Olya, Makhachkala; water, railway and automobile routes; and sea and water transport.
The study of the marine transport and logistics infrastructure of the Caspian region highlighted the following problems: low capacity utilization of ports, lack of awareness among shippers about the possibilities of a route across the Caspian sea; lack of rolling stock for freight traffic, including grain that can potentially be transported to Iran via Caspian sea ports; high workload of rail access to ports. The conclusion is formulated about the need for accelerated development of the Maritime transport and logistics infrastructure of the Caspian region based on the expansion of the sea ports specialization; construction of new ports in the cities of Kaspiysk and Derbent; development of the multi-modal route India-Iran-Azerbaijan-Russia.

ABSTRACT
The increasing role of environment-oriented management methods is reflected in the development of theoretical aspects of "green" logistics. The author of the article analyzed the total number of articles published over the past 8 years on this topic. As a database, three modern science-metric systems have been chosen: Elibrary, SpringerLink, Scopus. Comparative analysis has shown that the number of publications devoted to a certain degree to "green" logistics has grown over the analyzed period of time. Most actively this direction is developing in Russia. However, there is a certain lag in the publication activity in comparison with foreign science-metric databases. The main reasons for some delay in the Russian scientific school have been identified. Within the framework of the article basing on the previous period study the forecasted number of published articles in 2018 is proposed.

ABSTRACT
Despite widespread operational use of logistics infrastructure notion, definition of its economic essence and contents is associated with a number of serious theoretical and methodological differences. The authors of this article offer their own understanding based on a critical analysis of the existing viewpoints.
