2020 Shipping Movements
- Thread starter Mr Miserable
- Start date
Here’s a nice documentary showing the loading and unloading challenges on these enormous vehicles. The ship in this video is the Hoegh Oslo which has 14 decks and a capacity of 8.000 cars (if I remember correctly)
Ordered my SR+ 13.7.2020
Got my VIN 28.7.2020
Estimate delivery date is 28.8.2020
Any ideas where it's sailing?
It will be on the Grand Dahlia I assume.
Mid Aug deliveries are on the Sun, last week of August - 1st Sept are on the Dahlia.
Captain for the mid Sep ones.

Not that I am aware of.
I would be very interested to hear of any reports of transporters on the road from Grimsby.

Not yet.Anyone know if it's possible to track the trucks with the cars when they are leaving Zeebrugge? I know it's a long shot
You're not the only one following and waiting
All RO/RO ships are like large multistory car parks. Nice video here from South Korea.

thats an amazing video - thanks for that! Those drivers don't hang about!
I shiver to imagine those drivers flooring Performance Model 3's onto those boats! at least there will be no exhaust emissions for them!

GRAND DAHLIA Her position at midday z is shown on the chart below. On time and on track with just under 1300nm to go.
ETA Zeebrugge on Thursday (13th).
A little disappointed however not to find her scheduled into Southampton on the 15th - note to self to keep an eye on this.
GLOVIS CAPTAIN Cleared the canal yesterday and entered an unusually rough Caribbean (waves of about 3.5m) heading for the Windward Passage. Only making 11 Kts at the moment and since 1800z yesterday has averaged just 12.2 kts. This is not good. She is due into Zeebrugge on 21 Aug. Conditions will improve as she approaches the Windward Passage.
RCC ASIA Still alongside Pier 80 and should complete loading later today. Will depart about this time tomorrow and I am expecting it to be to Zeebrugge. Could be a lot of RHD on this ship. ETA around 1 Sep
GLOVIS STELLA Will move alongside Pier 80 tomorrow night or early Wednesday morning. I don’t expect her to be coming to Europe.
GLOVIS SIGMA Expected at Pier 80 on 17 Aug. I expect her to be coming to Europe. ETA Zeebrugge around 11 Sep.
GLOVIS CLIPPER Still looking good to be a candidate for Pier 80 however I don’t think she is EU bound.
DONINGTON The big one. Probably the final ship of Q3. I would expect her to come to Europe but IMHO needs to be at Zeebrugge before 21 Sep. That means she needs to leave Pier 80 by 31 Aug. Having said all that, I have still to find any supporting evidence to suggest that she is coming to Europe.

I can confirm that Iowa has at least my X on it. The nice man at Tesla told me so.
No delivery date yet though.

Just spoken to a nice man at Tesla - my M3 LR that I'm scheduled to pick up on 4 Sept is indeed on the Glovis Captain. It'll be interesting to track progress on here given the ship appears to be moving quite slowly right now.
Hi Mr M,
I too thought it curious the GD is not on the Southampton port list for arrival on or around 15/8. I found out that the Agent for this ship is a Premiership Ltd based in Newport. They said the GD is not due in Southampton until 29/8...I presume this means that all cars will be unloaded in ZEE and then put on another boat?? Is this a normal exercise? Definitely expected GD was going to dock at Southampton, perhaps the Agent is misinformed?
The visit on 29 August is not on charter to Tesla - that is when it's on a scheduled trip to Guatemala and South America.
Should the GRAND DAHLIA not call in to Southampton all the cars will be unloaded in Zeebrugge and loaded on to another vessel.
However, I still half expect her to call at Southampton since she is not in Zeebrugge long enough for a full unload. If she is not going to Southampton, where is she going - Amsterdam? Not showing on the schedule there. Norway?
I have my doubts whether GLOVIS CAPTAIN will call at Southampton. That would be 2 ships in a row.
Unless RCC ASIA is coming direct to Southampton? There were report of lots of RHD M3s at Fremont the other week.

Obviously being told on Nav to keep a lower speed to hit next supercharger stop-off
