Freighter Ship

Transporting bulk goods via water is the most cost efficient transportion in real life. Currently the best players have is using the industrial barge with multiple trucks on it. Instead the best mode of transporting goods should be a "Container" ship with either the container being purely a visual element or the containers instead replaced with stockpiles. Visually I could see it being two large stockpiles in the same column and the control tower/driver seat being in the rear. Basically the real life bulk ore transporting ships. This would allow raw resources or finished goods to be transported around the world in large amounts, allowing more raw ore or crushed ore to be transported at once instead of many trips being required or the full smelting process being done on site to save on transportation.

any type of ship should be more effective than corresponding cart!

honestly; I would love to see larger ships in general in Eco but I know that SLG is still working hard on the future things that will come

I wonder...if contracts/diplomatic pacts can be made on one-time (or heck, recurring!) deals that involve trade of material goods measured IN said intermodal containers...

Merged your suggestion into here. Container Ships and Truck Trailers with Containers are already planned and intended to work like that.

Oh and a way to make the contract automatic when a trailer is full. One that also pops up in the top notification message box.
