The object of the game is to move across the docks and load as many ships as possible with cargo... but be careful, you need to get the right type of cargo on the right type of ship. There are 4 ship types used in the game: Tanker = Crude Oil Bulk Carrier = Grain Container Vessel = Containers Ferry = People / Vehicles Tap the mini dock icons or slide the dock left and right, drag a cargo icon to the correct ship, wait for it to load and cast off the ship. === Watch the game play demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjgsVni6inA === REVIEWS: "...The game also falls under the ‘easy to learn, difficult to master’ heading, it’s easy enough to learn how to do all the things you’re required to on the game but its quite another to learn how to be as efficient as possible in all of it. Certainly worth a download, you might be pleasantly surprised..." GodisaGeek.com "...You are in control of loading and sending the ships on their way. Don’t think this app is a push over, because it is not..." Crazy Mike's Apps "...Coracle Online First to Launch Line of Maritime iPhone and iPod Touch Applications..." GCaptain.com "...Frantic. Fast. Fun. Realistic 3D graphics and animations...and the real fun is how it gets fast after about level 7, then frantic at levels 10 and above. I made it to level 18. Going back for more!..." "...Challenging & fun game! Awesome graphics combined with a nice progression of difficulty make this a great buy. I gained a new level of respect for what the shipping industry must go through in a day!..." === Ship It is brought to you by Coracle Online, provider of professional development services to the maritime industry.

About

Harbor Shift

Features
Read full description

Run a complete vessel-control shift where every arrival needs a pilot, tug approach, inspection, cargo authorization, and departure clearance. The Harbor Control Desk tracks three live vessel cases at once. Watch individual deadlines, spend tug fuel on approaches, inspect manifests and storm lashings, authorize cargo work, and clear each departure in the correct order. Fog and storms alter findings. Late work accumulates delay, while every decision changes the shift's safety and throughput scores. Close a shift to receive a persistent graded report, then compare past performance in the Reports tab. The separate Operations tab adds cargo contracts, twelve ship routes, weather payouts, specialist hiring, facilities, and multi-shift progression. Features: - Five-stage vessel-control workflow - Concurrent deadlines and resource pressure - Weather-dependent inspection findings - Tug fuel, safety, delay, and throughput metrics - Persistent graded shift reports - Contracts, crew, and facility progression - Offline local save Harbor Shift is an offline single-player management game. There are no accounts, purchases, chat, user-generated content, or cloud saves.
