TRITON ACE continues to progress across the Atlantic at 18.8kts 410nm SW of the Azores.
At midday she was N36.0 W38.6 Her course is keeping her clear of some bad weather to the west.
There is still some poor weather ahead but she should be OK for the next 48 hrs or so.
She will arrive in Zeebrugge on 20 Nov and Southampton on 22 Nov

GRAND AURORA has about 150nm to run until the Mona Passage.
The Mona Passage is the gap between the Dominican Republic to the west and Puerto Rico to the east.
On the Atlantic side lies the Puerto Rico Trench which is about 8000m deep whereas in the passage it's only about 100m deep.
On the Caribbean side it's about 1000m deep. Additionally, there is a significant current that runs from south to north.
This 'shallowness' in the passage can be responsible for some pretty treacherous seas with some horrendously big waves.
It's not something that is too much of a concern for big ships but for smaller vessels the 'dreaded' Mona Passage has a fearsome reputation and navigating it is something that needs careful advanced planning and respect.
It is also the site of a significant British victory in 1782 when British and French warships engaged there.
The weather looks OK.
Her ETA for Zeebrugge is 24 Nov and I estimate she should arrive in Southampton on 26/27 Nov.

RCC AMSTERDAM is currently loading alongside Pier 80.
I estimate she will arrive in Zeebrugge around 7 Dec
GLOVIS SUN will be coming to Pier 80 to load in the coming days however I suspect that she will be heading to Asia
It looks as though there could be possibly 2 more shipments.
I am confident one will be GLOVIS CAPTAIN arriving in Zeebrugge around 14 Dec.
I have yet to identify the second ship but another arriving just before Christmas may be on the cards.
