LNG & Bulk Update

The newly added ship "Willy" is designed for transporting bulk goods such as sand, while the gas tanker "Nordic Duchess" is the right choice for carrying LNG. Container shipping also receives an exciting addition. "Big Trip" is joining the game – as the name suggests, it's the largest container ship in the world of Seafarer. In addition to bug fixes and ongoing performance optimizations for smoother voyages, the update also includes new random events that bring more variety to the open sea, such as assisting other vessels in distress.
