Comment on what is the procedure of buying a ship load of any cargo? ex; corn or paraffin wax?

Lots of good suggestions in this thread already, but I just want to bring up another option that may be more friendly for your budget: piracy. Do your research and try to identify a ship containing what you want that needs to pass near a pirate hotspot, then hire a group of freelancers (or use a broker) to take the prize. You’ll need to set up the logistics in advance, and make sure you take into account the other goods on the ship when negotiating terms. Don’t pay anything up front, as that’s a common scam. These pirate groups can secure their own weapons and boats, so find another group if they start trying to get you to fund that.

You’ll also need to organize transportation of the goods once you have the ship. Unloading a container from one of those big boats isn’t easy, especially if the one you want is at the bottom of a stack. Your best bet is to find a corrupt harbor master and bribe him. Without that, it could take weeks or months to unload your wax.

After that comes transportation, which may involve smuggling the goods across a border, forging paperwork, etc. That’s its own can of worms, but you’ll need to research the specifics based on your actual requirements.
