Think the whole Grand Mark situation is very strange

be amazed if that’s true - Southampton ??

GRAND MARK has resorted to detailing their cargo...

I'm surprised it doesn't say help.

 

[Ukmgranger]

Must be costing a fortune chugging around in the English channel like that!

'Storm' on Sunday was not a storm at all. Stiff breeze at most, compared with the previous storms for sure. This morning, light is at best moderate, yet the Mark is still idling. If it heads in this afternoon then that's a 2/2 correlation with US banking hours opening and 0/2 correlating with winds dying down. Lastly, the much larger Tulane came in last night without issues. The port is open. It's just that the Tesla ships are not heading in on weekends.

It didn't head to port this afternoon (European time). I've not seen evidence to link it to US banks openings.
I'm not linking it too much to the winds either now though.

Indeed it is, seems as strange as its holding pattern.

And why does it not just lie at anchor?

 

[LongRanger]

Maybe it can’t go to anchor as not booked into Antwerp Anchorage with fees paid, so effectively it is still “en route” to Zeebrugge in the Bermuda Triangle between Anchorage, Wind Farm and Zeebrugge ?

Let's hope this Bermuda triangle situation doesn't extend further into 2020

Staggered to find out that GRAND MARK continues to languish off Zeebrugge.
I suppose it could be waiting for APOLLON HIGHWAY to vacate 520.

 

[JupiterMan]

That's a surprise. I wasn't thinking that the HOEGH OSLO would come our way.
I'll keep a closer eye on it now.

UPDATE
It is still due in to Benicia tonight for a 24hr stop. Still trying to obtain its destination..
My contact is not senior enough to be told destinations.

According to Port of San Francisco, Hoegh Oslo is now scheduled to depart on 26th Feb - that would be 3 days of loading, so seemingly a full load of Teslas bound somewhere....

I'm aware of that but it is not correct.

Do you know when Apollon Highway is supposed to leave? According to Zeebrugge harbor website it should have left at 2 am.

Sorry no - I have no contacts at Zeebrugge sadly and the website is not particularly reliable.

 

[Mr Miserable]

I hadn't given up hope completely on the MORNING CATHERINE despite its removal from the SF port schedule but it's definitely not going to Pier 80 anymore. It's heading back to S Korea but from Portland.

After the HOEGH OSLO is...... nothing I can find.

 

[Swalesmith]

Any updates on the Asian King , heard it nay be direct to Southampton!? Skeptical this is true.
