Have you checked to see if a traffic jam is affecting your trucks?  I recommend you build railroads for handling cargo instead, as trucks are prone to this kind of stuff.

Factories stop accepting goods, when their storage is full. You must provide iron too to iron works, and furthermore transport iron to car factory (which also need plastic). If that is too complex for your liking, you can copy the simuconf.tab file from config/simuconf.tab to My Dokuments/simutrans/simuconf.tab and set the entry just_in_time = 0 there.

Do you have at least one truck set up to run as well? Nothing will move until the entire chain is complete.

Also, you may wish to go into the schedule window for the stop where you pick up things and set the Minimum Load for that stop to be 100% - this will make your ship, for example, not travel until it's loaded with oil, which will save you money if your ship carries oil faster than the oil rig can produce it.

Screenshots may help in a situation like this, but a few things to check I can think of:

1. Make sure the oil rig and the oil power plant are connected with contracts. Is the oil rig listed as a supplier in the power plant window?

2. Are the ship dock station and truck loading station listed as a single station? Or are they listed as two stations?

3. Do you have a truck ****igned to the route between the dock and power plant stations?

If that doesn't help, screenshots might. :)

Okay now i got ship working but train is not transporting oil anymore!
And where i can set that it leaves then when it haves 100% cargo?
Edit: Oh and that ship dock station and truck/train loading station are together!
I tested it on trucks and not working still
Edit: Now working but it was strange solution?
I had one truck to oil power plant from harbour and not working then i build another two truck loading stations at next to old truck loading stations and putted tuck on it and voila
Both started working!

I'm afraid I can't visualize it without screenshots... But keep playing with it and you'll figure it out, I'm sure. :-) I remember it took me a little bit to get my head around how Simutrans works -- of course now, it's second nature to me...

The schedule or line window. Select a stop, and at the top you'll see minimum load.
