Bulk carriers at the ore export port
Bulk carriers at the ore port every six hours, for the stockpile team.
What it does
Every six hours: cargo ships at your ore export port (live AIS), with which are loading or waiting, summed up by xMap AI for the shipping and stockpile team.
In one sentence: Every 6 hours at :00, in Perth, watch the ships, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Ships waiting at the port tell the stockpile team what to load next. They see it four times a day.

The time it saves
Every 6 hours at :00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 120 times a month, so it saves about 30 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 5 blocks.
