Schipping Box and Blockade Box

Are you sure about your statement?

I think:

Merchant vessels added money and war supplies.
Transport vessels added ship supplies overseas.

EDIT: checked again, there are indeed tranport steamers and merchant steamers, they just look almost identical.

I understand now how it works, but it makes me sad that Russia lacks so many features, I am sure the idea of naval trade ships was not alien to them.

Right, while they look similar they perform vastly different missions. Transports can
provide a tiny bit of supply, but not like merchantmen. They work about the same
as raiders do in those boxes, transporting only a small amount.

[GlobalExplorer]

Right.

So I went and captured the 4 german merchant ship squadrons in the Baltic Sea, and thereby aquired the technology to trade!
Russia can make trade now!!

In before a beta tester showing up and saying that it will still not work, even with merchants ....

I've never seen a message connected to the fixed German merchants in the Baltic (no supply transport or WS or money flow). Is this normal? Or do they kick in when for example a German force gets isolated in a port?

[DrPostman]

Right.

Sorry, but it won't work. The Baltic box is for German Merchants only. You can't
even use those captured merchants to transport anything.

Lol

I will use them for reconnaissance!

So the Germans can capture them back? If you send them alone that's what
will happen.
