2020 Shipping Movements

Hopefully the UK will not shut up shop. The Govt does not appear to want to shut schools or business here.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Not much to add.

GLOVIS CAPTAIN will arrive off Zeebrugge this evening.
She is showing an ETA of 22:00 however she can be there earlier than that.
No change to the Southampton ETA of 18 Mar

 

[Mr Miserable]

Glovis Captain absolutely storming in.
Mr M what’s the record for San Francisco to Zee and then Southampton so far?

There isn't a stand out winner as far as I can see - the faster ones have taken 25 days which is what the Glovis Captain is scheduled for. If she comes in a day earlier she would take the crown.

 

[Harv3y]

Are the next ships in definitely going to be beginning of June? People keep mentioning April/May to us which can’t be right!

Who is still waiting for a Glovis text?

Me too, advised collection is 26th but no text/email to confirm

Why do we need another email..surely they have already booked your collection time and date..A tad conhfused?

Me too!

Ordered from existing inventory on 17/2.

No communication from Tesla but when I phoned them they said my car was on the Glovis Captain.

I hope to be collecting from Bristol.

Very helpful thanks Mr M

People keep mentioning April/May

?

Tesla won't ship unless car can be here, and sale-completed, by end of quarter (I'm sure a few fall though the cracks, but historically we have not had a whole boatload on the high seas at Quarter-end)

Then towards the very end of the quarter (ii.e. once too late to make-and-sell in North America) they start making cars for EU again ... and a few weeks later start shipping ... and then the boat has to come a long way.

So after end March there will be nothing in April and the earliest that M3s could arrive is early to mid-May, and there is talk that UK RHD will be further delayed until June.

MS / MX travel in containers, so not the same dearth periods.

GLOVIS CAPTAIN storming away at 19.6 knots - ETA 20:00 hrs

Still no text or email, but the very helpful chap at MK Tesla shop confirmed my car is on the Glovis Captain (he showed me their internal system and all info was on his screen). Said I should hear shortly

Was about to post the same thing!

 

[davibm]

Still no @~%$ text!

 

[Harv3y]

Still no @~%$ text!

You’re likely to get it when the boat gets to Zeebrugge, that’s the usual protocol, just a few have had it early!

 

[94jdh]

Let's see how quickly it gets to the dock - it may dance around at sea for a while, hope not!

 

[LongRanger]

Are we seeing Zeebrugge port staff continuing to work as normal to get LHD cars off before the Southampton run ?

 

[Harv3y]

Im not expecting it to, due in quite soon.

 

[Mr H]

I would like a texty on a little phoney.......when the boat comes in

The Netherlands has just shut up shop. Let’s hope Belgium does not immediately follow trapping Glovis Captain in Zeebrugge
