    VINs and Build date

    Technically vin is allocated to a car at production but the allocation of that vin is then allocated to customer order somewhere about Singapore ie when they are convinced car is on ship.it could be damaged whilst loading and removed from shipment to be repaired or occasionally there is not...

    That is relatively slow loading as to physically park car once on deck should not take more than 30 seconds,it all depends how quickly they can get cars onto ship which is merely a function of number of drivers.sometimes loading is run by dockside operations who think more people is more costs...

    . Certainly does not take 3 days to load a ship. Feeder ships 8 hours and 5000 cars could be loaded in 24 hours. It depends on deck numbers being loaded at same time and number of drivers and lashers . Have loaded a ship with 14 decks so proved d a logistical challenge but you could certainly...

    Ship does not take 5 days.even biggest ship will not take more than 36 hours.maximum load is approx 4000 cars so they can load at 400 cars per hour if parked at dock as opposed to transfer from terminal lots which can be approx half a mile away.

    Used to load or unload at Nissan port of Tyne.the craziest thing was after loading a load of lhd using rear view mirror to see leadsmen it was very difficult to twist neck to reverse a rhd. muscle memory I guess Check early video at approx 1.30 cars pulling up on right hand side of block of cars...

    If they are parking cars close to existing cars on right of existing cars they must be getting out of car on right hand side hence the.supposition They were also loading some with lbs also so maybe split load with Europe lhd

    2022 Shipping Movements

    Indeed it can and unloading is even less skilled than loading because you do not have to line cars up merely park in a line .with enough labour you could unload in whatever time you wish.ie with 500 people you could probably unload in 2 hours With loading you are restricted as to how many...

    2022 Shipping Movements

    Unloading is always quicker than loading as no need to line cars up or lash down.it all depends on how many drivers and how many decks can be worked at same time. Limiting factor is number of leadsmen guiding cars into position I.e. Closed mirrors and 4 inches or 100MM space between cars

    Not necessarily true as certainly at Nissan sunderland LHD vehicles were always exited via drivers door otherwise a right old pain to shuffle over gear stick/ tunnel and the size of some of our drivers would have made it almost physically impossible. Question Are bus drivers so large because of...

    Mr M Do you think it is possible or likely that China may continue export over into July Europe deliveries as it looks unlikely that China will be fully open to get internal deliveries.throw everything into 'kitchen sink' cash flow issues and have a bad q2 .they are not actually short of cash...

    It may be that tesla will continue to export after original deadline as it does not appear likely that China will open up in any meaningful way for tesla deliveries there and tesla may 'kitchen sink' any delivery or cash flow ssues into Q2 . After all tesla is not actually short of cash now...

    Mr Miserable, With all your knowledge would you like to take a stab at transport costs from China to zeebrugge.I guess ship working life 20 years and relatively cheap to produce I.e. Very few internal divisions unlike say cruise lines. Running staff costs of approx 15 personnel a million a year...

    When cars are loaded they are run with folded mirrors and reverse parked by directions in the rear mirror from stevedore. If they can get fist between cars they are too wide and need reparking . Always reversed In for faster unloading.

    Agree life is difficult but any logistics company or transporter delivering cars to Southampton for export would be ecstatic at chance of free load back haul even if took them slightly out of their way. Also because of chip shortage UK car factories are not working at capacity so less demand...

    I think he was pointing out the danger of averages. Nissan produces 1000 per day at Sunderland and loads 24 hours per day for UK and export so as each transporter carries 8 cars you only need to load 5 per hour. Job done. Lots of empty transporters at Southampton delivering cars for export.

    We get out the drivers side obviously. If they are lefthand drive you park from right to left across the ship in lines. Rhd from left to right. You reverse to a leadsman using rear view mirror and hand signals. Mirrors are folded in. If they can get fist between closed mirrors you have to...

    When we loaded Nissan ex port of Tyne for Australia they always went on top deck as they would be last off but must have caused potential stability issues as we only used to part load the ship. I guess it went to Southampton to take other exports

    First boatload of M3 to Europe

    I guess by now they will have realised that the one off stock pipeline to Europe card cannot be played again so they may as well continue to fulfill all Europe orders that they have and start USA priority from about 10 June. We will see when UK cars arrive.
