2020 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

Southampton port schedule has updated and is now showing all the arrivals up to and including 26 Dec.
There is still no sign of RCC AMSTERDAM on there nor are there any other likely candidates for moving Teslas from Zeebrugge.
Meanwhile, RCC AMSTERDAM has been loitering off the Dutch coast clear of the shipping lanes.
She is due to arrive in Zeebrugge later this afternoon.

Rumours of some Model Y arriving in Oslo...

Hey Mr. M, care to elaborate?

Any more info would be appreciated.

Are these vehicles brought over for testing, or are the vehicles for sale, or being sold?

Thanks

I don't think they are for sale.

GLOVIS SUN will depart Zeebrugge later today for Oslo where she is due to arrive on Wednesday.


Which still leaves the question of how will RHD cars deposited in Zeebrugge by LYDDEN and GLOVIS SUN be sent to the UK?
Looking at the Southampton port schedule at the moment there are no likely suspects.

There is a possibility that RCC AMSTERDAM may be used and the suggestion that she will arrive in Southampton on the 23rd, but she has still to appear on the Southampton port schedule. She will arrive alongside Zeebrugge 509 later this afternoon and will depart there tomorrow afternoon.
Her timings and docking location in Zeebrugge all suggest that she is worth looking at.

Do you think that any shipping to the UK will be interrupted because of the new emergency "Corona-Brexit" situation?

 

[Mr Miserable]

Do you think that any travel to UK will be interrupted because of the recent "Corona-Brexit" situation?

I don't think the current situation will affect since no people are being landed and Tesla will want to ensure the cars are in the UK by the end of the quarter even if they may not get delivered.

 

[Telboy]

Really odd that the RCC is still not showing on Southampton despite Tesla advising my car will be on it for 23rd delivery, I guess it can be added to the arrivals log last minute?

 

[Mr Miserable]

RCC AMSTERDAM's arrival in Zeebrugge has been delayed until 2130 tonight.

 

[Mr Miserable]

GLOVIS SUN now departing Zeebrugge to Oslo

RCC AMSTERDAM's arrival in Zeebrugge has been delayed until 2130 tonight.

Silly question, however I'm guessing this delay would be also added to the Southampton side making a Christmas Eve delivery now unlikely, humble opinion of course,...??

I honestly do not have a clue about deliveries. I'm not even sure about RCC AMSTERDAM!

 

[Yastus]

RCC AMSTERDAM is now arriving in Zeebrugge

Do we know where the RCC is going to?

 

[Mr Miserable]

Do we know where the RCC is going to?

Not yet. The rumour is Southampton.

 

[Yastus]

OK, I'm asking as I'm waiting on those M3P for The Netherlands that was on the Glovis Sun. So no idea when I can expect it.

I imagine your car has been moved by road. I believe there were just 25 M3P for NL onboard - not enough for a ship to be used.

Yup by truck. Yesterday @Koopman Terminal Amsterdam I saw a lot of trucks packed with M3P’s

 

[Caterman]

Presume there are no signs of a load of Teslas on the dock at Grimsby from the AUTOPRESTIGE which was another (outside) possibility?

 

[Yastus]

Yup by truck. Yesterday @Koopman Terminal Amsterdam I saw a lot of trucks packed with M3P’s

Nice, this really comforts me in knowing pick-up on the 28th should be doable. Glad someone saw some activity with M3P's

 

[Mr Miserable]

GLOVIS SUN departed Zeebrugge last night for Oslo where she is due to arrive early tomorrow morning.
She is currently making 17 kts in the North Sea.


Which still leaves the question of how will RHD cars deposited in Zeebrugge by LYDDEN and GLOVIS SUN be sent to the UK?
Looking at the Southampton port schedule at the moment there are no likely suspects.

RCC AMSTERDAM is no longer a candidate - she is off to the US from Zeebrugge and will not be calling at Southampton.
SPICA LEADER is arriving in Southampton today - she was used to take cars to Norway however she hasn’t been to Zeebrugge since LYDDEN and GLOVIS SUN arrived there and so can be ruled out.

Answers on a postcard please....
