There's no accurate release date.

- large cargo ships, large! - non-collision multiplayer

I could have sworn this said December 24 for release.. what happened

Is there any other similar game atm?

Just wondering. Not quite in the same vein but my friend also has a dream of a game where you run/manage an oceanliner company, kinda like the White Star Line of the early 1900s with their Titanic and Olympic and all that good stuff. I know there's a game, I think TransOcean, but aside from that, there isn't much else or it's ancient. Games in either of these categories would be cool to know about....
