Transport Fever 3 Ships — Sea Freight & Passenger Vessels
Ships
Quick answer: ships are one of the official vehicle categories in Transport Fever 3, and sea is one of the three domains the game is built around — the official FAQ describes networks across "land, sea, and air". The pre-order bonus adds the TS Queen Mary, a historic British steamer. No per-ship list with stats is published.
What's confirmed
- Ships are an official category — "over 300 authentic trains, buses, trams, trucks, ships, planes, and, for the first time, helicopters" (Paradox press release); the Steam listing reads "trains, buses, trams, trucks, ships, aircraft and helicopters" (Steam store page); the official vehicle trailer names "ships" (Vehicle trailer page).
- Sea is one of the three core domains — the press release describes networks over "railways, roads, shipping lanes, and air routes" (Paradox press release); the official FAQ summarises it as "land, sea, and air" (Official FAQ).
- One confirmed named ship — the TS Queen Mary, the pre-order bonus described as "a brand-new historical vehicle and legendary british steamer, recreated in stunning detail" (Release date announcement).
- Content span — the official FAQ puts the timeline at "starting in 1900 and running to 2030 and beyond" (Official FAQ).
The ship roster
Urban Games hasn't published a full model-by-model ship list online. The roster below is transcribed from the Collector's Edition artbook and cross-checked across fan guides — source level C. Treat it as the best available list, not an official document: it may be incomplete or differ slightly from the in-game build.
