The problem of quality maritime e-learning organization while martial law in Ukraine. The object of the research was to assess the effectiveness of MOODLE-based Maritime English courses in enhancing the technical communication skills of future ship mechanics. The aim of the research is to analyse the impact of online courses on LMS MOODLE on the quality of Maritime English training. To achieve the research aim, we used empirical observation methods of the state of training of future ship mechanics for professional activity to identify the levels of the specified training on technical communication skills. The respondents were students (122 in general) of different years of study and with di-fferent work experience according to their employment and shipboard practice duration (1–6 moths) who took part in survey. The developed online courses have been implemented in LMS MOODLE of maritime educational institutions and investigated for solving the problems of Maritime English training organizations during the state of martial law. Detailed development of the issue showed improvement in cadets’ technical communication skills during MOODLE-based maritime English training. The war in Ukraine has a bad influence on the mental conditions of future officers. A stressful environment doesn’t contribute to motivation and desire to learn. MOODLE-based courses give the possibility to use different learning formats, elements of gamification, and different types of tasks. Variability and innovations help to involve cadets in the studying process as a result cadets receive technical communication skills and knowledge. There is feedback from crewing companies that cadets receive promotions and show high levels during shipboard practice and that is confirmation that the MOODLE-based maritime English training system works.
