2020 Shipping Movements

[up_north]

Zeebrugge schedule shows Brooklands leaving at 18:00 on March 4. Southampton schedule shows it arriving at 05:30 on March 6. It really takes almost 36 hours to make that journey?

 

[Mr Miserable]

It looks like the GLOVIS CAPTAIN has had a schedule change - whereas previously it wouldn't be possible for it to visit Southampton after Zeebrugge, it may now be possible. Which is nice.
Still some digging to do though....

I was always expecting it to arrive in Southampton on the 6th so I think that is more accurate. Originally you may recall the BROOKLANDS was due to arrive into Zeebrugge on the 29 Feb!

 

[Mr.Maverick]

Pretty impressive that, if you ordered Jan 27 it was loaded in Houston to leave on Feb 24th. My theory therefore if my order was 8 days later on feb 4th I’ve probably got to the Maersk Montana loading in Houston as we speak. If that’s true I’d know by the end of the week that I’ve been matched so we shall see

Fingers crossed mate. Keep us posted. I'll let you know when Tesla contact me again.

Then again, it may have to make way for MORNING CARA which is due in on the 5th.

Why was it not possible beforehand? How would the cars have got over here, would it have unloaded them all in Zeebrugge?

It wasn't possible because it was going elsewhere. It would have unloaded them all in Zeebrugge and the UK ones would be crossloaded on to another vessel to Southampton - it happened many times like that last year.

Okay, that would’ve been hectic, rushing around to get them over here and sold before the end of the quarter!

That's Tesla!

I’ll almost certainly be in Southampton on Friday, will see if I can see it, though last time I tried to wander inconspicuously into the dock area for a quiet look around (just for a few photos of QM2) I got barked at by security and politely told to about turn and burger off

Wouldn’t the invoice date matter to Tesla rather than the delivery date? They’ll be sending out the final invoices for Glovis before the end of the month I presume.

No that's not how the accounting works - they need to deliver to recognise the revenue.

Edit: their financial statements specifically state "We recognize revenue on automotive sales upon delivery to the customer, which is when the control of a vehicle transfers."

Fair enough.

Impressed you have found that in their 10-K filing!

 

[LongRanger]

Something crossed my mind earlier. BROOKLANDS is a big old unit, potentially 5000 model 3’s to be spewed out split between LHD and RHD models in the next few hours/days.

That’s over £200m of retail sales from one ship, if they were all LR/P models it would be north of £250m. Crikey.

 

[Lounge Range]

Picking my LR AWD on Saturday 7th from Dartford (originally meant to be today 3-3-20)
I just wanted to extend my thanks to Mr. Miserable, all your efforts were much appreciated as were Long Ranger and the other ‘old hands’ on this thread.
One final Question: I’ve still no idea how my car got from the Challenge in Zeebrugge to Dartford, do we now know which route/ship was involved.
Cheers and happy VIN/ Ship spotting guys.

 

[LongRanger]

All credit goes to Mr Miserable for getting us involved in this somewhat crazy obsession - my interest stemmed from watching the monster LNG ships arrive into Milford Haven when on holiday near there, now there is the added bonus of the topic relating to cars, what’s not to like ...

I ruddy love those LNG deliveries. Bring on the bearish gas prices.

Hats off to Mr.M.
