Jeff,
Looks brilliant. Have you thought about building docks/channels
left-to-right? From the map, it looks like you're doing an "alongside"
pier. Either is good; alongside gives you more space, but channels
allow you to build cranes which span a ship.
I'd be happy to turn some of my Pirate hulls into bulk carriers for
you. Post that cargo container spec so I can build some cargo ships!
I've been a bit busy with a project this last week, but once I'm done
I'll try to get the ball rolling on the Train4 thing :)
