Infrastructure

[Insert Image]

I was thinking, that only inland water transport should be included – such as tugs

I don’t think that TE is big enough to accommodate full blown ocean liners...

Wharves

Wharf is a "platform" built parallel to the coastline next to which ships load/unload. They must be as long or longer then the ship they are supposed to service.

Docks

Docks are structures that build and repair ships. they have to be long enough to service a single ship and can hold only one at a time.

Channels

Channels are structures that allow ships to travel through the map where there is no water. Channel must be level. To increase the elevation Sluices must be used. Sluice must be as wide and long as the serviced ship.

Traffic organisation

Water Traffic has got to be organised by setting 'corridors' in the port. Corridors are one-way. Properly set up port must contain: one entry, one exit and one wharf.

Tugs

Tugs are ships that push/pull a string of barges. They are defined by such properties:

   * name - text name of the tug
   * startyear - Year of design
   * endyear – year of discontinuation
   * price - base price
   * time - time in seconds (real-time) it takes to deliver a ready vehicle from the manufacturer to the dock it was ordered from
   * speed Max - Maximum possible speed
   * power – maximum power of the engine
   * maintenance - cost of a single service at a dock
   * fuel – type of fuel used
   * weight – weight of the aircraft
   * model – model used for visuals 


Barges

Barges are parts of the system that carries cargoes. They are defined by:

   * name - text name of the barge
   * startyear - Year of design
   * endyear – year of discontinuation
   * price - base price
   * time - time in seconds (real-time) it takes to deliver a ready barge from the manufacturer to the dock it was ordered from
   * maintenance - cost of a single service at a dock
   * type – type of the vehicle (hopper etc)
   * capacity – capacity in tonnes
   * fuel – type of fuel used
   * weight – weight of the aircraft
   * model – model used for visuals 


Ships

Ships are self contained carriers. They are defined by such data:

   * name - text name of the ship
   * startyear - Year of design
   * endyear – year of discontinuation
   * price - base price
   * time - time in seconds (real-time) it takes to deliver a ready vehicle from the manufacturer to the dock it was ordered from
   * speed Max - Maximum possible speed
   * power – maximum power of the engine
   * type – type of the vehicle (hopper etc)
   * capacity – capacity in tonnes
   * maintenance - cost of a single service at a dock
   * fuel – type of fuel used
   * weight – weight of the aircraft
   * model – model used for visuals
