Hi Joyinlife,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread about the cargo ships to answer you as we can not answer in the Suggestions section.
Yes you can keep the same people in your ships logbook. When you start preparing the ship click on The Ship's Logbook tab and then click on the button at the top that says Reuse Last Itinerary. That will set your logbook to match the last ship you dispatched. You can find all this information in the Game Guide chapter 32 about the ships in the following link:

could we load ships with a single click like we boost trains?

We boost a train with one click no matter how many train cars are attached. We have to click a ship once per container that's on a ship. It seems inconsistent to have to click 10 times for a ship with 10 containers but click once for a train with 10 cars.

Hi Imbk,

I have moved your post to the help and support thread for the ships. We already have the ability to load ships in our port with one click, but it does require owning the overhead cranes. They can also help a little with your own ship that may have been waiting a long time to be moved to the next port as long as it's not stuck at the very last port on it's logbook.
Here's the link to that post in the Game Guide so you can check them out and see if you want to invest in them:

I received a "Seasonal Goal" yesterday, to unload 3 cargo Brown ships. That task is impossible. Ships take up to 7 days and there are only 17 days left this month.

Hi poof

I moved your post from Suggestions to Help & Support about Cargo Ships to be able to answer you.

Ships have 7 days in total to be back home, but that doesnt mean they will use all those days to be back.

My ships usually are back in 2 days, so when I get that kind of seasonal goal, I can unload that ship and send it off again.

Hi Mary. I tried going to memcache link and it took me to facebook and it was blacked out I have been using the farmtown website not the facebook one. My problem is that when I try to dispatch my shiips, I go to the log book and put them in the order I want them and then just before I dispatch they are all changed around. I also have difficulty putting them in order initially. They keep moving on their own to different spots. I have noticed that in particular spot 23 will go into the number one spot and push number one into the #2 spot but the numbers still say 23 and 1. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Hi powell

When you work through the web site, please use the following link for memcache:
https://apps.slashkey.com/farmtown/p...lear_memcached

About your problem with Logbook, while you are loading your cointainers, click in Logbook and then click in Reuse Last Itinerary. If you send ships daily, then you will get the same ports and positions than you had for the previous day.

After that, then you can move ports to different spots if you wish or change up to 10 ports for other neighbors ports.

But you have to click in Reuse Last Itineray first and then make changes. If you see that one port is not in the correct spot you moved it, close the ship manager and then reopen it and see if it stayed. If not move it again.
If you are trying to move a port from the bottom to the top of the screen or viceversa, try to do it slowly as you have to go through many spots to change it.

I start preparing containers, and each container takes say 5 minutes. After a few are prepared, the time to prepare jumps to a much higher time pwe container. What's up?

Hi Cliffcor,
I moved your post to the thread about cargo ships.
The time for preparation is based on how many ships you have dispatched in the last 7 days. Each ship you dispatch only stays on that list for 7 days to the second. When one drops off the list at the end of that time then your container loading time can go up.

hi all,

any idea why ALL the ships that were on their way with 2,3,4,5,6 days to go are now saying "ready to unload" ?

all was well until i dispatched a new ship and then went back to check that it is actually gone and saw that all ship are reset.
