Ein paar Ergänzungen hab ich noch::
In Barcelona gibt es auf Anhieb nur 43 Kisten Werkzeug. Ich verkaufe dort aus dem Lager heraus immer Maschinen nach Bedarf und investiere sofort wieder in Werkzeuge. So habe ich nach wenigen Monaten eine komplette Schiffsladung der billigsten Werkzeuge der Welt. Dann brauche ich das nur noch ein Schiff abholen lassen.
Man kann diese Werkzeuge mit einem 1500-Tons-Schiff (=132 Kisten) in Tanga verkaufen, denn Tanga zahlt immerhin 127,00 amerikanische Mark :-). Was zuviel ist, gleich nach Bombay schippern und dort verkaufen. Da kann man dann auch gleich das Schiff reparieren lassen.
I have some additions to my contribution
There´s no need to buy 1999 tons ships. They are not more than gimmicks. You will never be able to use them profitably. The largest ships should have 1500 tons or 1601 tons of an iron steam ship (There´s a special model in that size, which can be built in London and NY).
A good European domestic traffic (with a smaller ship) is to sell London´s machines in Barcelona, then selling Barcelona´s tools in Port Said, then sail twice (!) to Odessa to sell Port Said´s Cotton and then buy vegetable oil in Odessa and sell it in Amsterdam.
With 1500 tons ships you will sometimes have problems with selling the cargo at once. For example cotton from Bombay: First I sail to Odessa where I sell a part of it and I buy vegetable oil to restock my ship. Then I try it in London where I also sell the oil. If London doesn´t buy anymore cotton, I sail to Le Havre, and if they don´t, I sell the rest in Liverpool.
In Barcelona you will only get 43 Boxes of tools at once. So I have a stock there, filled with machines which I sell according to requirements. I re-invest the money immediately in tools. Within a few months I have collected a full load of a big ship which only will have to collect them and sell them for example in Tanga and Bombay. A good deal with the cheapest tools in the world!
I use to have 7 ships with 1500-1601 tons and one ship with 600 tons for short-distance transports within Europe and all Atlantic ports, which should not be the job of a 1500 tons ship.
