SandshapeDo you want to lease charts?
With this large shipment of sand, price will likely drop, and supply is fairly steady. In 3 turns from now, price likely will still be around 0.4.
Meanwhile, wool is in a shortage, supply hasn't been re-established properly since the delays, and demand is being boosted greatly. Considering there are only 3 shipments between now and when any ship sailing now will return, and seeing this turn's significant increase, I believe we can assume with confidence a wool price of 0.85.
With those numbers, we can assume an advantage in trading wool of 2.5 guineas per shipment, over the 3 month period per ship. Even with the fee, that is significant and any further boost to industry between now and then is liable to increase that.
For reference: should wool disappoint, at 0.8 per unit the advantage would still be 2 guineas.
If it pushes past expectations to 0.9, the advantage instead increases to 3 whole guineas.
Overall, there is no reasonable outcome that results in a loss as compared to trading with sand, even should wool fail to rise as much and sand become more precious.
