AUTO ADVANCE departs Zeebrugge 28 Jul and arrives in Drammen on 3 Aug is a possibility.

I note MORNING PILOT is heading in to dock at Shanghai South. According to the information I have, she is bound for Antwerp (26 Aug) which might suggest she is not on Tesla business.

MORNING MARGARETA has finally declared her destination to be Tacoma.

A very reliable source tells me that this was an emergency docking and nothing to do with any Tesla business.

I note that GLOVIS SUNLIGHT has turned up alongside Pier 80. Let's see where she heads off to....

AIS shows the next stop which in the case of Tesla ships from Shanghai may be Singapore or Suez. Once the AIS destination changes after Suez then we know where in EU/UK the ship is heading. Barcelona normally updates its arrivals board at least 10 days before a ship's arrival, Koper about 5...

I goofed yesterday morning when the IO extended the charging period to 06:30 for me. The extra hour came straight from my home battery. Doh! I know, I know, It's not the first time but I hope it's the last time..... Otherwise I love this tariff.

All the indications, including yours, suggest GLOVIS COURAGE is heading for Koper. There isn't a method to check whether your car is on a Glovis vessel.

SUMMARY 23 Jul 23 MORNING MARGARETA was on her way to New Westminster, Canada. Holding well offshore. I have no idea when she will dock although she is showing on the Tacoma arrivals board for a 27 Jul arrival. HOEGH TRIDENT has now arrived in Zeebrugge from Shanghai with confirmed MY and M3...

GRANDE COTONOU is dropping off my list of suspects - her itinerary has now changed and she is now inbound to Le Havre. Even if she then heads to Southampton I don't think she is likely to be carrying Teslas.

The good news is that MORNING MARGARETA has stopped again.

She is next due into Drammen on 7 Aug.

Actually she is still showing on the Tacoma port arrivals board for 27 Jul.

Add them to the pile of cars that didn't get shipped on GRAND SAPPHIRE would be my guess.

She is definitely moving west at 15kts. We shall see if she continues on this course but I have to say it doesn't look good......

So AUTO ACHIEVE arrives in Drammen on 25 Jul - if your car was shipped on CRYSTAL RAY then this is a possible suspect. Otherwise, you are waiting for HOEGH TRIDENT (if you have a VIN it's easy to check to see if your car is onboard her) or GRANDE MIRAFIORI, GLOVIS COURAGE or GLOVIS SUNRISE...

That's pretty unlikely in my opinion. If I missed it, others would pick up on it and I would be told. At the end of Q2 Tesla UK had an unprecedented level of inventory. At this phase in the quarter there is no need for Tesla to rush deliveries and the extra expense that involves. Rather than...

It will have come from Shanghai probably on GRANDE TORINO which arrived in Southampton on 25 Jun.

MORNING CARINA has departed Shanghai South however has not yet updated her AIS destination. Nevertheless we can take a good guess of it being Suez or maybe Singapore for a refuel. She is due to arrive in Barcelona on 16 Aug. The chances are that she will have Teslas onboard but I look forward...

GRANDE COTONOU arr Southampton 27 Jul remains a suspect.

SUMMARY 19 Jul 23 MORNING MARGARETA was on her way to New Westminster. Holding well offshore. I have no idea when she will dock. HOEGH TRIDENT arrives Zeebrugge 23 Jul with confirmed MY and M3 onboard. If you have your VIN, check to see if your car is onboard a Hoegh ship by entering your...

I believe there is a suggestion that cars from Berlin to Turkey are being staged via Barcelona. It's not a subject I will engage in further since trying to stay on top of Shanghai shipments is a big enough challenge.

GLOVIS COURAGE has departed Singapore for Suez with an ETA of 1 Aug. This is quite an unambitious ETA and throws my original estimates in to the bin. Accordingly my revised estimates for possible destinations are: Koper 5 Aug, Barcelona 6 Aug, Southampton 10 Aug and Zeebrugge 11 Aug. At the...

MORNING CARINA is currently alongside Shanghai South. I note she is due to arrive in Barcelona on 16 Aug and Zeebrugge on 28 Aug. I'm still not fully convinced she is a Tesla ship yet. A WuWa video would be useful. If she is moving Teslas, I reckon this will be to Barcelona only. It looks as...

I will mention it again but UNDINE and GRANDE COTONOU are on my list of suspects and I said I would come back today with a decision on UNDINE. I can tell you now that UNDINE is no longer a suspect - she isn't a Tesla carrier.

I don't generally track shipments from Berlin. GOLD KOCHAV is probably shipping Teslas from Berlin. As already mentioned if you are waiting for a Model 3 then this will come from Shanghai and GOLD XING will arrive in Derince on 5 Aug.

I doubt it will have anything from Shanghai. Unless of course cars from CRYSTAL RAY which were unloaded in Barcelona (11 Jul) have already made their way to Zeebrugge. I was looking at the Drammen webcam earlier today and there are still plenty of MY on the dockside but the M3s seem to have...

SUMMARY 18 Jul 23 MORNING MARGARETA is on her way to New Westminster. Clearly her docking has been delayed by the recent dock strike - I have no idea when she will dock. HOEGH TRIDENT arrives Zeebrugge 23 Jul with confirmed MY and M3 onboard. If you have your VIN, check to see if your car is...

If GLOVIS COURAGE is heading to the UK then I expect she will arrive in Southampton around 6 Aug.

I wouldn't put much faith in this - the source is AIS. In the case of MORNING MARGARETA, her destination has been input by the ship incorrectly CAN WE instead of CA NWE. Therefore the destination will not appear in any databases and ETA can't be calculated. If a manual destination is input...

As I mentioned in my last summary some ships, particularly those with Israeli connections, switch off their AIS transmitter when passing through areas regarded as high risk. I suggest you google HELIOS RAY incident, MERCER STREET incident or HYPERION RAY to see why. Their AIS transmitters will...

It's a calculated closing speed and so is only accurate if the ship is tracking directly towards the destination. She is of course scheduled to arrive in Zeebrugge on 23 Jul.

An arrival on 4 Aug at Koper would be more likely to be GLOVIS SUNRISE in my opinion. @CarGuy35 Can you help here?

He's from the USA and knows how old his car is.

Some bad news for those waiting for MS/MX and were hoping their car would be on HOEGH YOKOHAMA - her schedule has been changed and she is no longer calling at Baltimore nor Zeebrugge and so is no longer a suspect for the MS/MX shipment. The search for suspects continues...

I'm not aware of any way to find this info for this ship.

As I mentioned the other week - there are 2 suspects UNDINE arriving on 24 Jul and GRANDE COTONOU arriving on 27 Jul. The next clue will be where they plan to dock. We should find out where UNDINE is heading to on Wednesday morning.

No She is devoid of Teslas now.

SUMMARY 16 Jul 23 MORNING MARGARETA is on her way to New Westminster. Clearly her docking has been delayed by the recent dock strike - I have no idea when she will dock. HOEGH TRIDENT arrives Zeebrugge 23 Jul with confirmed MY and M3 onboard. If you have your VIN, check to see if your car is...

Thank you for the link.

Away from the excitement in Vancouver, GLOVIS SUNRISE is preparing to depart to Singapore. This will be a refuel stop before continuing on to an EU port. She should run 2 days behind the estimates I have already given for GLOVIS COURAGE. I expect we are looking at a shipment of around 4500 cars.

SUMMARY 13 Jul 23 VIKING SEA remains in a sheltered anchorage off Vancouver Island and is clearly waiting for the port strike to conclude. MORNING MARGARETA is on her way to New Westminster ETA 15/16 Jul. HOEGH TRIDENT arrives Zeebrugge 23 Jul with confirmed MY and M3 onboard. If you have...

It is still showing 28 Jul on the port info.

You can forget TIJUCA - wrong berth in Zeebrugge. GRANDE MIRAFIORI is a surprise. I don't think she can be unloading completely in Barcelona though because of the short time (14hrs) she is spending in port. She spent about 36hrs loading in Shanghai. So there is still some hope that she may...

I don't know the answer - a lot will depend on the handling agent and what can be arranged at short notice. Additionally, some shipping companies have more clout than others at certain ports and are not shy about throwing their weight around to achieve a queue jump. (eg Grimaldi in Southampton...

I doubt it somehow! We've just seen them cancel a voyage to Canada. They won't risk 3 ships potentially delayed because of this known strike.

HOEGH YOKOHAMA departs Baltimore 19 Jul and arrives Zeebrugge 29 Jul is my prime suspect.

In note that GLOVIS COURAGE has departed Shanghai South and is probably bound for EU (Koper/Barcelona/Zeebrugge). Watching for a VIN shower.... Additionally I see MALAYSIA GRACE has left Nagoya and is heading for Yokohama. This is the port Tesla historically uses for Japanese shipments and so...

That is not the case. The link is for any Hoegh vessel. Hoegh have been used for the recent shipments of new MS/MX from Baltimore.

SUMMARY 11 Jul 23 CRYSTAL RAY has finally docked in Barcelona. She has 3458 MY and 762 M3 to unload. VIKING SEA remains in a sheltered anchorage off Vancouver Island and is clearly waiting for the port strike to conclude. MORNING MARGARETA is on her way to New Westminster ETA 15/16 Jul...
