The new patch brings general improvements, fixes, and the long-awaited storms in Ships At Sea! We've added a new system to ensure calm seas around the ports, allowing us to re-enable the storms you've been eagerly awaiting.
Among other things, this update focuses on the clean-up trash mission, making it easier to place trash bags on the work deck after collecting them from the sea and we also increased the pick-up range of the bags for a smoother mission experience. Additionally, we've added anchor icons to the map to indicate docking locations.

Storms Enabled
Introducing the first version featuring calm seas around harbors and shallow areas, allowing us to reactivate storms, and increasing wave heights on the open ocean. We hope you enjoy this exciting new dimension of the game and the enhanced maritime challenges it brings!
- Wave heights reaching 12-14 meters in the open sea, with no calm waters during the storm.
- Storm occurs between 7 - 14 days in-game time
- Storm intensity increased to Beaufort 9-12. Regular weather now ranges from Beaufort 1-6, with occasional conditions reaching Beaufort 7-9, though lower intensities are more common.
