As I stated in the title, how can I set up a server for The Ship? I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find guides of any kind anywhere. There's some basic guides on how to set up a steamcmd server, but I'm still completely lost.
So my question.
- What ports do I need to forward so that my friends may play the ship with me?
- What steps do I need to take in order to download a functional version of The Ship server from steamcmd
- What steps do I need to take in order to get the server running once it has been downloaded?
Any help would be appreciated as there is apparently zero documentation floating around out there currently.

It appears that you have to own The Ship to download the server, so I cannot test this, but from what I know/can find, this should work. I am assuming you are running Windows.
Port - try 27016.
SteamCMD
login <username>
where username is your Steam account and press enter.force_install_dir <path_to_install>
eg force_install_dir C:\theship.app_update 2403
command.quit
at the command line to quit steamcmd.Running Server - go to wherever you downloaded the files to (eg C:\theship) and find the server .exe in that folder. Run it, and see if you can connect to it from your computer.
