Start with one rusty freighter and a single dock in Rotterdam. Read the market, draw sea lanes across a living nautical chart, and grow a shipping line that spans Europe. READ THE MARKET Every port has cargo to export and goods it wants. Deliver too much of one thing and the price drops, so watch the demand bars, switch cargo and open new markets. Every number you see is the real one the game uses. DRAW YOUR ROUTES Tap a port, pick a destination and the best cargo is chosen for you. Your ships sail real sea lanes around coastlines and through straits, leaving white wakes across the chart. BUILD A FLEET THAT STAYS TIDY - 6 ship types: Coaster, Bulk Carrier, Tanker, Reefer, Ro-Ro Carrier and Container Ship - 3 models of each, from Mk I to Mk III - Each route is one fleet: add a ship, upgrade the whole fleet or refit it to a specialist carrier with a single tap - No pop-up for every ship. Earnings land automatically. 30 PORTS, 3 SEAS Grow your reputation to unlock new waters: the North Sea, the Atlantic coast and the whole Mediterranean, from Rotterdam and Hamburg to Lisbon, Genoa, Piraeus and Port Said. 9 kinds of cargo: machinery, chemicals, grain, timber, steel, cars, fish, oil and fruit. PORTS, CONTRACTS AND SEASONS - Upgrade cranes for faster loading and trade offices for bigger markets - Take timed delivery contracts for big rewards - A new seasonal demand every week, like Harvest Season or Winter Fuel YOUR SHIPS KEEP SAILING Your fleet keeps working while you are away. Come back to the Captain's Log and collect your earnings. Upgrade your warehouse to store up to 12 hours. REORGANIZE FOR LEGACY Once your company is big enough, reorganize and start again with Founder's Legacy stars. Each star raises all freight income for good. - Plays offline - Ads are optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch - Made for iPhone, one hand, portrait ## Is Tidewake safe?
