Bering Tonnage

Bering Tonnage is a single-player maritime logistics simulator in which you build a shipping company from one regional operation into a global network. You plan routes, move cargo between ports, manage ships and licenses, and balance operating costs as your company expands.

Deliver cargo

Choose from 314 trade ports and create routes such as Miami through the Panama Canal to the West Coast, Rotterdam to Shanghai, or Helsinki to Sweden. You can turn ports into regional hubs, funnel cargo through depots, and connect smaller ports to larger routes with feeder services. Depots let you store cargo for later collection and onward transport.

Build your fleet

Expand by buying used ships, ordering new builds or hiring ships at 20 unique shipyards around the world. The game includes 167 ship variants from 34 manufacturers. Upgrade engines, add icebreaker equipment and customize liveries to fit your network.

Secure licenses

To enter new markets, build your reputation, recruit qualified license officers and choose ship registries carefully. More than 150 shipping licenses, nationality requirements and domestic shipping restrictions shape where you can operate. Regional mission trees provide goals as you expand.

Manage your network

Set rules for loading, deliveries, depot transfers and departure conditions to automate routine operations. Link routes, schedule waits for repairs and balance speed against fuel costs as your network grows.

Work with other companies

Other shipping companies operate in the same waters. You can compete for cargo, buy out rivals' market share or sign fulfilment agreements with other carriers. Under these agreements, they can collect cargo and deposit it at your depots for you to carry onward.

Run a shipping group

Create subsidiaries with separate fleets, boards and finances, then hire CEOs and set their priorities. You can bring in investors, balance shareholder demands and decide how much control to sell. After a few years, you can cash out.

Face operating challenges

Tropical storms, earthquakes, worker strikes, ice-blocked ports, political blockades and war can disrupt your schedules. Fuel, flag costs, mooring fees and repairs affect whether your routes make money, while license registration requires you to meet each country's requirements.
