Ferry lines rebalancing, more realistic

[pepkansek]

Hi guys and girls, I searched the internet for all ferry lines that actually exist and I got a idea that the ferries could be modified and improved to my idea.

The map with my ferry lines ideas:

(updated 29. March 2021 - added three new ferry routes, see a changelog below)

The blue lines are ferry lines, which exists now.
The orange lines are new ferry lines, that could be added.
The orange dots are new harbours that do not exist now and could be built in a future, even smaller is enough.
If a line that now exists in a game, now is not in the design, it would be to delete. Because instead I suggested a different ferry lines.

The ferry lines that be removed:
Barcelona -> Napoli (do not exist, Barcelona -> Civitavecchia is better)
Valencia -> Palermo (it is operated only once a week, Valencia -> Catania is now more operated and better)
Barcelona -> Marseille (do not exist and it is not need, deleted)
Bilbao -> Plymouth (do not exist, Bilbao -> Portsmouth is better)

New 11 ferry lines that could be added:
Bergen -> Stavanger (the roads are winding and the road ride is very long)
Karlshamn -> Klaipeda (travel between Scandinavia and Lithuania)
Trelleborg -> Swinoujscie
Gothenburg -> Immingham (travel between Sweden and Great Britain)
Portsmouth -> Le Havre
Portsmouth -> Bilbao
Portsmouth -> Santander (alternative to line Portsmouth -> Bilbao)
Livorno -> Bastia (travel between Italy and Corsica)
Barcelona -> Civitavecchia (better and more realistic than Barcelona -> Napoli)
Cagliari -> Civitavecchia (better than Cagliari - Napoli)
Valencia -> Catania (better and more realistic than Valencia -> Palermo)

New 9 harbours:
Karlshamn, Klaipeda, Portsmouth, Le Havre, Livorno, Bastia, Civitavecchia, Catania, Swinoujscie


Updated 29. March 2021:
- added 3 new ferry routes: Trelleborg -> Swinoujscie, Gothenburg -> Immingham, Portsmouth -> Santander

Updated 14. April 2021:
- removed ferry line Barcelona -> Porto Torres, because it is already added to game


What do you think of my idea and would you like to introduce it to ETS2?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Czech Republic.
Thank you for your feedback or for adding to the game.

All these ferry lines that your pointing out that supposedly don't exist, do exist but they are just not added on Google maps as they are probably freight only lines but I definately agree that there should be some more ferry routes/ports to be added eg Klaipeda and Portsmouth.

I would like to have the Immingham - Brevik ( https://www.dfds.com/en/freight-shippin ... -immingham ), the Immingham - Göteborg ( https://www.dfds.com/en/freight-shippin ... -immingham ) and the Immingham - Cuxhaven ferry ( https://www.dfds.com/en/freight-shippin ... -immingham ).

also add set sailing times (Departures), you should not be able just to turn up and sail, same with eurotunnel
if the ferry only sails once/twice a week then you then have to decide if driving around is more costly than waiting for the ferry

New ferry lines that could be added in future(maybe some in new areas in base game or in DLC):
Świnoujście - Ystad
Świnoujście - Trelleborg
Świnoujście - Ronne
Gdynia - Hanko

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and I decided I could add another 3 ferry lines, because I think it would be good.
Otherwise, three different ferry lines from Swinoujscie is not needed, because they are close to each other. I chose Trelleborg, because it is now exist.

I updated the map with addition 3 new ferry lines.

The updated map:

Added ferry lines:
Trelleborg -> Swinoujscie
Gothenburg -> Immingham
Portsmouth -> Santander

Thanks for your suggestions and I think, that now is fine.

@pepkansek Barcelona -> Porto Torres is available in the game.

Yes, it was not visible when I was working on this proposal 14 days ago.
