Hi Amedlin,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread about the cargo ships.
You can choose from your neighbors who have a port open to replace those who do not play any more. You have to do this while you are loading the containers on your ship before you dispatch it. You can change 10 per ship you are loading.
All the information on how to do this is in the Game Guide chapter 32 about the ships:

My cargo ships won't dispatch. I have 4 loaded containers but when I hit the dispatch button the container images turn pink and another dispatch ship button appears. If I click that one I get a message that at least one container needs to be loaded.

Hi Mrs Jim Bob,
I have just checked and your pink ship was dispatched at 10:49 eastern time this morning (2025-07-25). You can not prepare another ship for 20 hours from that time, sonot until 6:50 eastern time tomorrow. That ship has 5 containers loaded and is at port 11.

Weird because when I opened it up this morning my ship prep had expired. Currently it is showing that I have no ships dispatched. I am working on my yellow ship and will see if I can dispatch that one. Normally the game won't even let you prep a ship when in the 24 hour window
