Cargo/oil ships max rating 67%?

Transporting cargo and oil with the big slow ships (since refitting hovercrafts was removed, grrrr), seems unable to achieve a rating above 67%, even if there is always a ship available to pick up cargo.

Attached shots show two quite short hauls, but only a 67% rating. The same is valid for longer hauls, regardless of how many ships I build to take care of it.

It is different for the hauls where I have refitted hovercrafts participating. Those get up to 90% rating.

Same thing for cargo-transporting airplanes, it seems...

Even though there is always a fresh plane at the station picking up any available cargo, it just won't stay above 67%. Occasionally it bumps to 75%, but it quickly drops to 67% again.

i have an explanation for the ship one, i've read somewhere that a percentage of the rating depends on ship, so you may not be able to raise it with those bulky tankers

That would explain it, since refitted hovercrafts and refitted "Dinger 1000" planes can achieve a 90% rating.

Guess I'll switch to using Dingers, but I can't switch to hovercrafts any longer (meep!).

if you could just share the dock with hovercrafts... doesn't seem like a good idea, but some oilrefineries do carry passengers
