We did once have a service from Hull to the Caspian, including some Iranian ports there and I am sure they went via St. Petersburg, Moscow and thence down to Volga and Caspian.
Will be interesting to see which way this one heads!
Looking at the Volga's delta on Google Earth it's hard to see any channel out into the Caspian as all the shores show a receding water level which must have affected navigation.
Aktau is at 43.36N 51.13E with a nice train ferry in port!
