The Tug Trader script turns a battered harbour tugboat into a full waterfront hustle, sending players out across the docks to pick up cargo, ferry it between ports and cash out on every completed run. It gives your economy a fresh maritime loop that sits comfortably alongside trucking, fishing and other legal or grey-market jobs.
Built for QB-Core and ox_inventory, the resource can be configured as an honest delivery contract or a smuggling operation, so server owners decide exactly how risky the water feels. Multiple delivery points, adjustable payouts and clean blip handling keep the experience readable for new players while still rewarding experienced captains.
Why the Tug Trader script fits your docks
- Configurable port network with multiple pickup and drop-off locations.
- Legal or illegal payout modes to match your economy balance.
- ox_inventory support for cargo items and rewards.
- Adjustable cooldowns so the route stays valuable, not spammed.
- Lightweight footprint that runs quietly during busy sessions.
Maritime roleplay that actually pays off
- Encourages solo grinders and small crews to work the harbour.
- Slots neatly beside fishing, trucking and courier jobs.
- Blip and target prompts guide players without a wiki.
- Reward tables you can tune per port or per item.
- Simple config file for prices, distances and vehicles.
Because the route rewards patience and route planning, the Tug Trader script naturally draws in players who prefer a steady grind over constant gunplay. It creates traffic around your docks, gives fresh characters an accessible income and adds a believable reason for boats to be moving across the map at all hours.
Installation stays straightforward: drop the resource in, set your framework export, edit the config to match your ports and start it. The commented settings make it easy to localise labels, tweak payouts and decide whether the water is a peaceful trade lane or a smuggler's playground on your server.
