I see some projects cant be finished because of copyright, like the Emma Maersk, but why don't they just do the same thing as they did in ss06 just calling it Emma baersk in stead of maersk?

Ship Simulator isn't the only game that got trouble when it comes to get real ships into the game with ship owners logos and signs. Euro Truck Simulator got the same problem:

2.  Have you licensed real truck and car brands for the game?

We have tried real hard - we piled up arguments, we promised things, we begged, we painted rosy pictures. We tried alone, we tried with the help of our publishing partners in the big European countries. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to listen to us. When we ever managed to get a reponse, it was that the truck manufacturer is not interested in having their brand involved with computer games. Unfortunately, there will be no real truck brands in the game.

It just explains why many computer games got fictional stuff inside. :)

Just download the mod that comes out from everyone from a 3rd-party that changes the truck names to real trucks. I have it for Haulin and ALH.

About ships, fictional is better! VSTEP can make it anything they want without having to make it exact. They can "make things work"
