2020 Shipping Movements

Next ship, the final ship of the quarter (and quite possibly until June) is GLOVIS CAPTAIN which is due in to Southampton on Wednesday 18th

Any particular port we can expect in Zeebrugge? I take it still planned for 104 Southampton?

 

[Mr Miserable]

511 I suspect.
104 in Southampton is ideal however last time I checked it was due to be occupied

Actually, the more I look at the Southampton port schedule the more depressing it looks. At the moment I can't see how she can be realistically scheduled in on Wednesday. She really needs to get a wiggle on and get there on Tuesday (which is a big ask) or it'll be a Thursday morning arrival at 104.
Still time for the planners to do some juggling though.....

That's interesting 'cos I was told my MX would be in Southampton for the 23rd, unless they meant it would get to Southampton for the 18th and they would have got it to Bristol by the 23rd...

Tug on the way out?

2nd tug in place

With a perfect name to say the least!

I'm still not 100% on how Model S/X get to UK.
It may seem obvious to ship them from Zeebrugge with the Model 3 shipments however I remain to be convinced that they use this route.
Your car may well arrive in Southampton on 23rd but not with a load of Model 3s for company.

Very happy to see her going straight to port without going around in circles for days like previous GLOVIS ships.

I can't answer this.
In the past they were all delivered to the delivery centres and you had the, at times hectic, timed handover. Due to the sheer number of vehicles that have been flooding off the ships this month, Tesla wisely put into action alternative delivery plans which seem to have some teething problems.
What you can be sure of is that Tesla want the cars off the dock asap and delivered to you, without fail, by the end of the month.

Many thanks, that's very helpful.

Any updates on when the Glovis will sail for Southampton, or will the cars be transferred into other ships for the journey?

It currently shows arrival at Southampton for 07:00am Wednesday 18th - obviously this can change depending on when it leaves port at Zeebrugge and availability of dock at Southampton.

Edit: looks like a confliction of dock 104 with GRANDE SENEGAL which is due in at 05:30am

No change from last night

My post 2963 describes this situation.

I did remember you posting but I just checked directly with the port info to see if anything had changed - wasn't aiming to steal your thunder!

 

[Mr Miserable]

I would be very surprised if GLOVIS CAPTAIN leaves Zeebrugge without refuelling.
This process will take about 8-10 hours and is visible on your chosen AIS tracking site by the refuelling barge sitting alongside.
Since refuelling hasn't yet commenced I don't envisage the GLOVIS CAPTAIN leaving Zeebrugge early to arrive in Southampton tomorrow. See post 2963 why this was considered.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Southampton have just updated their port schedule and now has the GLOVIS CAPTAIN arriving on the morning of the 20th

 

[Mr Miserable]

The booking on the 20th into Southampton is still in placeholder format ie a tentative booking, however we can be confident that the GLOVIS CAPTAIN will not be in Southampton by the 18th.

Oh dear

Thanks as always. So presumably they start offloading pretty much immediately and putting them onto car transporters to go to delivery depots?

Realistically deliveries the week starting 23rd March I’m guessing?With everything that's going on not the end of the world...

 

[Mr Miserable]

GLOVIS CAPTAIN's visit to Southampton is complicated by the requirement to unload at 104 in the Western Docks and then move to the Eastern Docks to load prior to her departure to Bremerhaven. Plenty of scope here for further delay.....
