Shipyard, New Construction and Used Market
The shipyard grows with your reputation: repairs and renaming are immediately available, while equipment, new builds, the used market and selling unlock in stages.
At a Glance
- Repairs and renaming require no shipyard licence.
- Reputation-gated departments additionally require the local shipyard licence.
- The regular licence price is £1,000 per port.
Check access first
The information icon beside Shipyard Services displays all levels and your current access. The complete table, reputation sources and the case “rank reached, licence missing” are explained under Shipyard Licences and Reputation Unlocks.
Order a new vessel
- Open the shipyard at the active port.
- Choose an unlocked vessel type.
- Check price, construction time, capacity, speed, profiles and required reputation.
- Confirm the order; the vessel appears with construction status.
- Check the completion time later in Fleet.
Inspect a used vessel
Compare type values, current condition, price and operating limits. A lower purchase price may be offset by repair needs.
Sell a vessel
The vessel must have an eligible status. Cargo, active route, repair or construction can prevent listing. A listing is not the same as an immediate completed sale.
