Panamax is old locks, Neopanamax in new locks, Post-Panamax cant fit. The term Post-Panamax came about when they expanded the canal to create the new lane, before the Neopanamax standard was inked/named.

This is a very fascinating game, but it's a shame that the intricacies of shipping aren't explored more. For example you have a 6 week waiting period to schedule a trip through the Panama Canal. This kind of mechanic would be very cool to implement as you have negatives for picking up contracts on the open market, vs recurring contracts that offer better stable returns.

[@any1alive]

yeah that would be cool. simulated background shipping companies, pushing costs up n down, delays and trafffic throughthe canal, and yeh

[@slimyish]

I didn’t know that, how does that work? Do ships have to schedule ahead and book their canal crossing or is more like a 6 week que to get in?

[@icthulu]

@@slimyish If you say... run regular shipments of Del Monte fruit from Brazil to a grocery distributor in California you already have a load planned and destination planned well ahead of time following seasonal crops. Same for a different industry like cars that have a strict production schedule. Amazon would work slightly different, if I understand correctly, where they already have scheduled shipments based on demand curve prediction and your order is queued in the next available container.

[@donkfail1]

@@diZrupt0r Don't know. Haven't played this one. But from the look of it it seems similar. But the contract system is more complex. In PoC you could only transport one thing at the time to one destination and type of ship didn't matter depending on cargo. Didn't the same guys who created PoC make a new one in this century that was more detailed like that?

This is a nice alternative to Transocean which I never really could get into

[@deanwilkendorf5304]

This reminds me a lot of Trans Ocean, created by Deck 13 out of Germany. That (those, as there are two iterations of it) game is still available on Steam for $5.00, but they are not quite as complex as this one, and you can dock the ship yourself if you want to.

[@darkcognitive]

you know u can switch to first person, different angles etc which is pretty cool to see going through storms and massive waves!

That’s a damn good idea let’s hope someone makes it!

[@jmonsted]

It makes no sense that you can't pick up extra contracts at intermediary stops. I can't tell how it works, but that's gotta be possible. This is how real shipping works.

[@ohegge]

It can be done. You just have to schedule a stop at the intermediate port. But unlike PocXXL, it does not seem like you can book a freight from a port where your ship is not in. No ability to prebook the cargo before entering a port.

Ports of call and there was one called Transocean the shipping company. TBH this doesn't look like much of a step up from trans ocean which allowed you to at least dock and undock the ships.

[@dennissvitak5475]

By choosing slower speeds, you are losing opportunity costs...essentially, you will be fulfilling fewer contracts. You should always travel as full as possible.

[@hiddentowerstudios4617]

its really depending the destination distance, how many contracts you can delivery in the same port etc but you are right

[@jameskesler6477]

Yeah on his return trip to Liverpool he was barely getting his contracts done, he should’ve kept his speed up, despite the fuel savings.

[@ohegge]

But your enviromental value will deteriorate if you have too much speed

[@Kurruk007]

Wouldn't it be beneficial to stop at each destination, to see if you can carry more stuff to the next one or along the way?

[@lanteanboy]

if its similar enough to Transocean, then there should be docking fees to pay everytime you stop at a port, so if you don't get a contract at the spot, then you're losing money from docking on the way, also, these ships are slow and even if they don't take cargo, you're losing a couple days when contracts might have time limits.

[@hiddentowerstudios4617]

Hello, so you can do that if you want, also you can take chain contracts so you can plan many deliveries every time :)

[@slimyish]

@@lanteanboyI check the ports along my ships route to its final port if I see a contract that fits on the route I’ll dock my ship, if not my ship keeps going

The speed is measured in knots. Nautical miles per hour.

[@tihomirrasperic]

couldn't you earn even more? when you arrive at the port, you unload part of the cargo, and you have an empty part of the ship, you load something again (if it is available along the route of travel) theoretically, you leave the UK for Australia with $1 million in contract, and you end up in Australia with $10 million in profit

kn = knots

[@VerilyVerbatim]

Why.... why is it not possible to have something like this, but starting in 1950? Whilst there are many options, your starting budget only allows to choose one small ship - cargo freighter or tanker - pick the country of choice (currency conversion rates are your problem, it adds to the challenge?). I haven't seen many shipping games on this scale... but the focus is always so limited on concepts of 'today'.

[@FH-hu5vn]

Honestly, I've love a tramp ship simulator. You've got your one cargo ship or tanker and you go from port to port picking up stray cargo. Preferably you've have to navigate past storms or through them (wiegh the added time of going around versus the danger of going right thru it). The 50's or 30's would be reat starting points.

It is disappointing that a game like Ports of calls XXL, which was released in 2007, has not been released yet. Although Transocean's visuals were good, they could not replace Ports of Call. Although the second series of the game introduced a tanker ship and a few innovations, I still did not like it and the competition is very difficult. Considering all this, is it really that difficult to develop a game considering the good features of both games? I constantly had problems with crew replenishment. During the game recording, it is not clear which recording was made and when. You do not have the chance to pay your debts to the bank early. You get rich quickly and can easily buy the most expensive ship after an hour of play.

Hi, it looks like your time buged out, its not moving past Jan. 25.

yeah if fuel costs are negligeable and the port's eco ratings are, on the average, very low threshold for it. Then yeah, then who really cares? Yeah, sure. Then you can crank up your speeds and consume more of that cheaper fuel. Yeah, it depends on those variables right? Now if every port in the world is all about the Kyoto Protocol, then maybe you have to worry about it more. I'm sure these variables are adjustable. And canal fees should be cheap. If crossing the Panama or Suez results in 60% of your costs or more. Than why would you even bother taking on the contract in the first place? It should be only 10% of what you're supposed to make?
