The time has come to experience the most complete nautical adventure that Microsoft Flight Simulator has to offer! Meet the Cargo Ship—a Feeder 3-class container vessel with a capacity of 2,086 TEUs. Every container has been modeled, including those below deck; they can even be offloaded upon arrival at port using the ship’s management system located on the bridge. The bridge features fully functional panels and systems, including an autopilot, cruise speed control, and comprehensive vessel management—plus, most importantly: tugboats! You can call upon a harbor pilot to assist with docking maneuvers at your chosen pier, or use them to undock and position the ship in any direction you desire. Experience navigation enhanced by new water-friction physics, along with a simulation of engine failure under high-stress conditions. The ship is highly detailed, complete with crew members stationed on the bridge and in other strategic areas. The package includes 25 ports from around the world, featuring 62 individual berths where you can begin your journey or dock your vessel upon arrival—with more ports planned for future updates. Choose from 14 liveries representing renowned shipping lines such as Maersk, CMA CGM, and ONE, as well as historic names like Hamburg Süd and Hanjin, among others. Future updates will expand the selection to a total of 100 ports and 25 liveries.
Enjoy the voyage!

HOW TO INSTALL:
Locate the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024 installation folder
You need to find and open the folder called "Community"
Copy the folder "marinerm-cargo-ship" you just extracted to the Community folder.
Start the game and the "Marine RM Cargo Ship" will be in its hangar ready to trip!
HOW TO PLAY:
Start the game anywhere in the world on the water or seaplane track, don't forget to check the START ON GROUND option in the flight selection menu before the game starts; Confirm the information warning on the ship's system screen and remove the anchor, making sure that FLAP is at 0. After that put the engine at 100% and wait a few seconds for the ship to start moving. Water trails start with the slowest speed you are on. The ship has a reverse engine. Be careful when sailing at 100% ship power for a long time at full load as this may overheat the system. Use the flaps control (D-Pad up/down joystick) to activate anchor or pier.
How do I find my port? Type "Port of" into the search field; ports beginning with "94" are those added by Cargo Ship. Since they are all seaplane locations, they are marked with an anchor icon.
ALWAYS use tugboats when leaving the port. This ensures a safe maneuver and positions your vessel in the direction of your choice. If you begin the game moored away from the dock—for instance, in open water—make sure to weigh anchor by deactivating the FLAP. NEVER sail with the landing gear deployed. From the very start of the game, ensure the landing gear remains retracted, just as it would be during flight.
ALWAYS navigate with the autopilot engaged to avoid changes in direction caused by wind or waves.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the ship without first activating the anchor and the pier. Sometimes, leaving the ship (Control + C on the keyboard) can take you to an unknown position below or inside the ship. This error occurs because the position reading file to activate the character's spawn does not always place the character in the correct position. This has been configured several times, but in some tests the user may experience the spawn below or inside the ship. Understand that this will be improved and corrected in the future. If you start below or inside the ship, walk to the right, towards the pier that you will climb until you reach ground level (pier) and you can then enter the ship through the ramp.
