Is there any economy/strategic game about delivering goods with cargo ships, containers, etc.? I would love to play it.

Offworld Trading Company is close to what you're looking for i think. But it's not ship-centric.

  Good game overall, but terrible end-game. You're playing along, building and making money and no obvious mistakes, and then all of a sudden you get the big pink screen that says "Sorry, someone else made more money than you and decided to buy you. Game over. Better luck next time!"

  That revives memories :) I used to play it alot on the Amiga. Interesting to see, that the game is still alive. Unfortunately currently not avialable on iOS or the Mac :(

Theres a game called TransOcean: The Shipping Company on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/289930/TransOcean_The_Shipping_Company/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/289930/TransOcean_The_Shi... Theres a sequel to it, although I've never played it. First one wasn't too bad, the economics wasn't too complicated, but worthy of playing.
