Go back and delete the saved game. both richsave and regular save. Start over again for the eighth time. Why bother? SH4 is so bug ridden vanilla and every mod I've played does the same thing. CAN YOU TELL I'M FRUSTRATED? I've searched the forums and tried every suggestion, none work for the long term.

one thing PB didn't mention that i have experienced, especially when playing OpMonson/DW, is that, restoring a saved game with a large convoy already spawned, can create CTD when attempting to restore. it has to do with memory and the way Ubi uses it. 40 ship convoys suck up memory like nobody's business.

try and save before the second spawn...when the convoy is still one entity.
yeah, i know, sometimes you can't accomplish that.
if you encounter a spawned convoy, do the best that you can and then move off and save after the convoy has sailed away.

good luck, Herr Kaleun.
