So, here is a surprise from Astraware - Tradewinds, a British company that's been porting the pearls of casual games to mobile devices.

The game complexity is increasing gradually. As there are no levels you'll get more and more information to keep in mind with every new task set.
As you have bigger ship and more cargo on it to sell, you'll have to find more lands and port in need of your goods. Purchase it properly and your profit will be rapidly increasing.
