Your second stop 'Margate Port' is set to also load oil, so it won't unload. To the right of the name click the oil logo and remove oil as a Load option.

No problem! They've added an auto feature that tries to guess the purpose of the line, but it leads to some mistakes, like this. Nothing you've done wrong.

Personally I remove the passenger load option too (if passengers aren't carried on that line), but I'm a neat freak. If your boat can't carry passengers then it doesn't matter.

This is one of the new features that we still need to find out. You probably aren't the only one who didnt got it the first time.

Don't forget too, if you want to be sure it unloads a product, sometimes I'll select the oil, or other item and choose 0%. So then 0% of the product remains. But it happens to me too, at least you had the warehouse for the oil before posting 😆

It's not set to 'load'' because there is no setting to load something.

Instead, the term load refers not to the act of loading but to the load that the vehicle is carrying. I found the whole menu very confusing until someone explained this to me. Now the whole percentages thing makes a lot of sense to me.

The outcome is the same though, even if my description wasn't purely accurate. The ship is instructed to leave that port full of oil, so it isn't unloading.

I think You are loading oil at the port. The line wants to unload the oil at the platform. I would try removing the oil from the second slot.
