I have a commercial shipping line that has three freighters in orbit around earth but all of their names say something like this:
FT Francis Mammoth 001 (Move to Earth Trade Location) 521 km/s. All three of them say that and have for 3 months now. What's going on?
Also, they are using a design that I am currently using to ship infrastructure to mars, so I know the ship design works.

They maybe do not have a suitable destination, how big is your population on Mars and what sort of commodities do they produce?
Also, just in case they are bugged, fire up SM mode and go to the shipping lines window and reset orders.

If the ships have no cargo and no orders, they will move to the nearest trade location by default. So this order indicates the ships can't find any suitable trade runs.

Okay, that leads me to another question then, because I civ contract up to transport teraformers to mars, supply on earth, demand on mars. The contract is for 20, but at the moment there are only 18 on earth. Will that prevent them from starting?

No, since they will most likely only carry 1 or a fraction of 1 at a time. Of course, the contract won't be filled until the last 2 terraformers are on Earth.

Okay, thanks for all the help :)
