About the Game

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.
