The world economy is divided into 22 trade regions. Each region has its own basic supply and characteristic export and import goods.

Trade Regions and Goods Roles in Global Fleet & Trade
Trade Regions and Goods Roles: player functions, connections and safe operation.

At a Glance

  • Every unlocked port belongs to exactly one trade region.
  • Basic supply, export and import are regional goods roles.
  • Current stock and prices remain dynamic.

What a trade region means

A trade region groups ports that share the same basic economic profile. Goods roles explain which goods support basic supply, are strong regional exports or represent regional import demand. Individual port stock and market prices can differ.

Reading the goods roles

No guaranteed profit route

The roles provide economic orientation. They contain neither live stock nor current prices and cannot guarantee profit. Check the origin and destination markets, distance, storage and transport costs before trading.

All Trade Regions

The 22 trade regions group ports by their regional basic supply, exports and import demand. The values are economic roles, not live price recommendations.
