   Put it on the other side of the map.
   
   Also, only use the ship ports if you have a wide enough sea area, make sure that the ship reaches the other port without getting trapped in a whirlpool, they tend to happen in corners or close to land, If this is an issue, consider using the "pass through waypoint" option on a route. , Once you've done all of the above, you should have a successful transport company that's earning quite a lot of income. ,
