I stopped preparing and sending out my own cargo ships long ago. And, that's ok ... I don't have the time to do so, but know I have neighbors that do participate with this part of the game
I sleep through the night and work during the day and it isn't at all uncommon for 8 hours to as many as 15 to lapse before I'm able to log in and, then, being forced to excessively mouse click (which, by the way we all know contributes to wrist injury) to move my neighbors' ships along.
Although, 8 to 15 hours might work for me, throughout the months I have received tens of messages, asking me to attend to ships sitting in my port. Not all such messages have been intended to be interpreted as a polite reminder.
Worst, I have come to realize that a significant number of my FT friends have dropped me as their neighbor, which, of course, negatively impacts my ability to easily participate with the coop quests part of the game.
This is a big deal because I have been a good neighbor by moving ships along, yet I'm being punished, as a player, only because of the way cargo ships has been structured to operate.
IMO, cargo ships is not at all an enhancement to my FT gaming experience --- it has been the opposite.
Please understand, I have been an active and consistent player for years, have invested hundreds of dollars into purchasing every FC tool, every FC facility, some in multiples, and before that, a good number of FC decorative items. I've never stopped or taken breaks, yet since Cargo Ships introduced, I'm contemplating quitting FT altogether.
