Noob Question

Usually, ships will stick around long enough to import/export everything you need. The problem may be dockworkers turning up to load/unload everything.

Based on my observations, the way it seems to work is that when a ship arrives, immigrants get off and one of your dockworkers is called to the dock. They drive there and move to and from the crane and dock warehouse to load/unload.

So if there's heavy traffic by the dock entrance or all your dockworkers are busy they might miss the opportunity.

Also of note, if your treasury drops below -$10,000 and your exports cannot bring your treasury above this level imports will not be bought.

If your economy is dependent on imports for factories this can bring your economy to a halt. Consider cancelling construction projects to avert this.
