Why is it faster and more expansive to carry goods by air than by ship?
Air transport is faster than sea transport because airplanes travel at much higher speeds. Additionally, airplanes can carry goods directly to their destination without the need for intermediate stops like ports. However, shipping by sea is more cost-effective for larger quantities of goods due to the huge carrying capacity of cargo ships.
Why are general cargo ships more in number than container ships?
there is more cargo than there is oil, or other liquids container ships use.
How does the pollution generated by cargo ships compare to that of cars?
Cargo ships generate more pollution than cars on a per-ship basis, but there are fewer cargo ships than cars, so overall cars contribute more to pollution.
Can merchant ships carry passengers?
Yes, merchant ships can carry passengers, though this is not their primary function. Some cargo vessels, particularly those on specific routes, may have accommodations for a limited number of passengers, offering a more unique travel experience compared to traditional cruise ships. However, the facilities and amenities on merchant ships are typically more basic, focusing primarily on cargo transport. Passengers should check with the shipping line for availability and safety regulations.
Do you need cargo on Skullduggery Island?
Although technically, once you get a ship with a cannon, you can make money by sinking sea monsters and pirate ships and collecting the salvage. But carrying cargo from port to port is a recommended way to increase your doubloons, and becomes more valuable as larger ships can carry more. (see related question)
How do you get the largest ship on Skullduggery Island?
You buy larger ships as you can afford them. Larger ships have more cannons, and can carry more salvage and cargo. You actually only need half of the 1,000,000 doubloons, because the Gorden Harbor bank will loan you the rest.

Did container shipping lower shipping cost?
Yes. In the past passenger ships were frequently merged with mail ships the capacity for the cargo was lessened because of the room required for berths . By creating large containers which could be (a) filled to capaciity, (b) made of a reglar shape (c)handled by large cranes ratehr than human labour holds were filled much more economically and more stable. Tis allowed larger ships to be created specificcally for teh task of carry cargo only. The volumes on a basic cargo ship were were in the high thousands of tons
Are cruise ships more likely to have a desalination plant than a cargo ship?
Yes, cruise ships are more likely to have a desalination plant compared to cargo ships. This is because cruise ships typically operate with a larger number of passengers and crew, necessitating a reliable and consistent supply of fresh water. In contrast, cargo ships generally focus on transporting goods and may not require the same level of onboard amenities or water production capabilities. As a result, cruise ships invest more in facilities like desalination plants to ensure passenger comfort and safety.
