About Docked
Docked puts you in charge of rebuilding Port Wake after a hurricane, letting you manage realistic dock equipment and logistics. You’ll sign contracts, move cargo between ships, yards and rail, and keep your machinery in good shape.
The game offers a structured Campaign that presents specific contracts and a Free Play mode that removes mission limits, letting you experiment with the same detailed handling of cranes, tractors and other dock vehicles.
01 / THE GUIDE
Campaign Mode
In Campaign you select contracts from a cargo‑plan tablet and complete high‑priority runs. Each mission ties into the narrative of restoring the port, and successful deliveries unlock additional machinery.
The mode emphasizes precise handling of ship‑to‑shore cranes, rubber‑tired gantry cranes, terminal tractors, reach stackers and straddle carriers, with realistic physics and scale.
- Observe how each vehicle’s handling feels before tackling a tight cargo corridor.
- Prioritise contracts that introduce new equipment to broaden your toolset.
02 / THE GUIDE
Free Play Mode
Free Play removes mission constraints, allowing you to unload ships and trains at your own pace. You can still operate the full fleet of dock machinery and experiment with cargo placement.
Without a contract timer, you can focus on mastering rope tightening, weight distribution on flatbed trucks, and navigating tight spaces.
- Use the lack of time pressure to practice delicate cargo moves.
- Experiment with different weather settings as you practice.

Machinery Types
Docked features a range of heavy‑duty equipment, from colossal ship‑to‑shore cranes to sturdy terminal tractors. Each machine is modeled for realistic size and physics.
You can control each vehicle directly, tightening ropes, moving containers, and positioning loads with fine‑grained precision.
- Start with the larger cranes to get a feel for scale before moving to smaller reach stackers.
- Notice how each vehicle’s turning radius influences your route planning.

Contracts and Repairs
Signing new contracts builds up your resources, while completing high‑priority runs fulfills those commitments. As equipment wears, you can execute repairs to keep operations moving.
Each contract adds cargo to the plan tablet, guiding where ships, yards and rail connections need service.
- Balance contract selection between high‑value loads and those that introduce new equipment.
- Schedule repairs during low‑traffic periods to avoid bottlenecks.
05 / THE GUIDE
Weather and Time of Day
The game lets you change weather and time of day, The source documents changing weather and time of day, noting this can be done without campaign constraints in Free Play.
Testing operations under different conditions helps you understand how environmental factors influence precision tasks.
- Try different time-of-day settings while practicing rope tightening.
- Try different weather settings while practicing vehicle control.
