About Shipping Manager

Shipping makes the world go round

In Shipping Manager you can be the next big shipping tycoon and make sure your empire brings cargo and wares from the amazon to the chinese seas to the emirates on time. Play with or against friends and other real life shipping enthusiasts to control the seas and top the leaderboards.

Create and manage your own shipping empire strategy. In this multiplayer naval simulation game you have the opportunity to become bigger than real life container transport tycoons like Maersk, Evergreen and MSC. Create, schedule and navigate routes in the seas from ports like Shanghai, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Singapore, Dubai, Hamburg and New York.

Choose between 2 game modes: EASY or REALISM. Go the easy way to lower prices and increase profits or challenge yourself with realism where you have to consider the smallest things like the fuel prices and canal usage tax.

People need their goods transported and by sea is the most optimal way by far! Not by air and not by land. Not by rental car, train, bus or aircraft. But by ship.

In Shipping Manager you get in-depth tactical features like being able to buy vast amounts of different real ship types and sail to over 400 real ports and docks all over the world.

its a pretty boring map-based shipping manager with very little graphics. i played until i realized you can't earn any points on the Steam version, and you need points to hire people. you can use the mobile version to watch ads, or you can buy points. i'm not doing either of those things. uninstall.

Okay, I just tried this game and it was alright until I left then I can't seem to find the game I left. Also naming the company doesn't work, too many bugs that this isn't even worth trying.

The SLOWEST of burns. If you liked Airline Manager, this is a worse version of it. It's harder to make money, the systems are similar, but not the same. Airline Manager is waaaaaay better and fleshed out, but it's not a bad game for being free. If you like incremental and a buggy mess, this is a fun enough game to sink some hours into.

Amazing game, can't even log into a google account and can't type the letter "T" while creating your company name.

Shipping Manager is a management game that puts me in charge of my own cargo shipping company. I am dealing with ships, cargo, routes, ports and money, with the main goal being to grow the business into a much larger operation. What I like about the idea is that it focuses on the less exciting side of shipping that can actually make for a decent management game. I am not steering ships manually. I am planning routes, deciding what cargo to carry and trying to make sure each trip is worth the cost. The route system is probably the part I enjoy the most. There are more than 400 real ports to work with, including places such as Shanghai, Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Singapore and New York. I can create routes between them and then track my ships as they travel. There are also different types of ships to buy, used vessels to purchase and ways to improve ships so they can carry more cargo or travel faster. I like seeing the business slowly become more organised as I add more ships and find routes that make sense financially. There is more to manage than simply buying ships and sending them around the world. I can deal with staff, marketing, the stock market and even problems such as pirate…

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
