OFFICIAL Cargo Ships

Thanks for the ships back, but when they were disabled during migration, each container was taking 5 mins to load - now they have reset to 45 mins

It means even if I am on it, it will take 7 and a half hours to ready for despatch!

If we have a full set of cranes, shouldn't the ship be loaded faster anyway?

Hi NooNoo,

As no-one has been able to dispatch a ship every day as the ships haven't been back the game until now, you no longer have the shorter load times for containers. Dispatching a ship every day is what shortens the container prep time. The more on your dispatch list the shorter the time gets.

The overhead cranes just allow you to self load ports a set amount of times if they get stuck and they also enable the Load All in the seaport manger so you don't have to load every individual ship that arrives at your port.

To quickly get the container prep time down, only load a couple of containers, perhaps the ones most important to you but don't dispatch the ship immediately, do it later that day. The reason I suggest you don't dispatch it immediately as at some point the ship will be removed from the dispatch list when it's reached 7 days since it was dispatched. If you were preparing the containers later than usual on another day or perhaps weren't doing one every day, if you lose a ship off the dispatch list while you are still preparing a ship that will change the container prep time to a bit longer again.

Do that every day until you either have a prep time that you are happy to load more containers with or until you've done that on enough of them to get them all to their shortest prep time.

Everyone is having to start over with longer prep times.

If you would like a reminder on anything to do with the ships and also the container prep times you can see all that information in the Game Guide Chapter 32 Ships

Thanks for the explanation.. Can I make the suggestion that if you have a full set of cranes, you still get fast loading times if you have missed a day or two? It saves being penalised if you go away for a few days

Hi NooNoo,
If you want to make a suggestion for a change please post it in the Suggestions section.

When I get other people to work their ships, I get a lot of them that decline saying they are not my friend. If this is the case, why are they even showing up? It gets annoying. And I do not know how to get their name to make a friends request if I wanted them.

Hi Joyinlife,
If you are these are players you have added as buddies or neighbors through the website or they have added you as a buddy or neighbor and are not Facebook friends, then you need to work those through the website. To keep from having a problem with those I suggest you do all of your ship and train working throuygh the website and not Facebook.
