You could be absolutely correct however have any other vessels been delayed by this weather? Was the PROMETHEUS LEADER delayed? What about the OCEANUS LEADER? Let's watch the TULANE (a bigger ship than GRAND MARK) make its approach into Zeebrugge now.
IMHO the GRAND MARK delay has nothing to do with the weather.
True, those other ships did arrive at the same time Grand Mark should have.
My previous point forwarded from my port of Zeebrugge source still stands though, that port operations and handling capacity are usually limited when there's high winds (we can discuss whether current levels in our opinions, qualifies as high winds, but we don't know whether that's the view of ICO and port of authorities), and thus some ships might be received and other delayed. My own two cents on top of the wind argument, is that the ships, both Challenge and Mark, were purposely delayed by ICO, due to handling capacity constraints at their facilities. It was stated, prior to European shipments of Model 3 started, that they could only process 3,000 Tesla cars/week. On schedule Challenge would have arrived much less than a week after Cosmos and likewise with Mark and Challenge (5 days scheduled gap)
Is your speculation about the missing payments, based on something? I'm getting a little curious.

ICO verwacht 3.000 Tesla's per week in Zeebrugge
Meanwhile, the ASIAN KING has a revised ETA for the Panama Canal.
It is now expected to arrive at 01:00 on 25 Feb which may be timed nicely for no delay to a northbound wave.

If they're not counting GRAND MARK then it will be ASIAN KING, if they are then it's MORNING CARA

You need to be aware how this ETA was obtained.
Some apps use a rate of closure to calculate an ETA, which I suspect this is.
but as you say, we will see!
Just posted my source at ICO at the port:
"Like explaned last weeks, during the 3 (yes already 3) weekends of storms at the Belgium coast there are only vessels going to the end of the port (where the carterminals are located and only at the right side (the opposite site of the "normal" Tesla Quays) to load and unload ;-)"

Seems like limited capacity could play a factor here, and explain why the other ships were allowed in and not Grand Mark, likely because it was booked at one of the non-operational quays.

That would explain the unusual quay useage we have seen recently. When does your source expect the GRAND MARK to dock?
Thanks mate, sounds like it will be the Asian King! Is there any ETA when it will arrive in the country?
He didn't say this time. Last time he did mention that he expected arrival of Glovis Challenge around the time of Olympian Highway's departure, which ended being a good indicator. Seeing as #521 and #525 in the inner port are occupied once again, I'm slightly optimistic that Grand Mark will move in when one of them becomes vacant. In fact, Oceanus Leader at #525 seem to have tugs alongside now
The MAERSK IDAHO is on time.
It has just moved out of the separation scheme lane into the anchorage area.
Nothing has changed since my post 1058

My car is on the Asian King (I am told). When is this expected to dock in the UK? Thanks
No ETA currently, not even confirmation that it's going straight to Southampton and not via Zeebrugge, which has been the pattern so far with Southampton-bound Tesla-ships.
We still are not 100% certain that it is coming direct to Southampton (although taking into account the limitations of Zeebrugge that M Grove has posted above - it would make sense to) At the moment I have it pencilled in to EU on 8 Mar.
There’s a chance my car is on that ship. Though my confidence wasn’t enhanced by the phrase “won’t know till they know what’s on it” lol

There was a time when you would 'have been kept in the loop' regarding your cars progress.
It is one area, especially for a software orientated company, that should be easy to implement again.
