2020 Shipping Movements

OK...
The STENA SUNRISE is an oil tanker. I mention it only because it is blocking Pier 80 at the moment.
The first Tesla ship of Q3 is GLOVIS SONIC and we don't yet know where it is destined.
What we do know is that a large number of EU spec cars have been in production and have been sighted on transporters heading for Pier 80.
The GLOVIS SUNRISE is a possible future Q3 ship.

Does EU spec cars mean right and left hand drive?

I see the GLOVIS SUN has updated its AIS to show that it intends to commence loading on the morning of 10 Jul (Friday).
We still do not know when the GLOVIS SONIC will depart however with this information we can see that it has enough time to load fully.
It is a big ship in that is 30m longer than a standard ship but retains a standard width to allow it to just fit into the old locks of the Panama Canal.

EU spec cars are easily identified as such from a distance, not so whether it is RHD or LHD.

I'm aware of that site - it's the webcam that has sparked my interest.

[Tesl4z00l]

Wow, i think we’ll have to just trust you as always haha i can not identify a new picture in that web, and of course i can not also identify the plate holders haha

GLOVIS SONIC is making arrangements to depart Pier 80 in the early hours of Wednesday 8 July.
That is only 24 hours of loading.
I fear GLOVIS SONIC is not coming to EU which means that GLOVIS SUN probably is.

That would mean that Glovis Sun will depart 13 of July? In that case we will have Teslas in Zeebrugge like 4 or 5th August?

 

[Gazmayo]

I just spoke with Tesla again re. My order (they said to call them back in July) ad the chap I spoke with said they would hope to match me with a car within the next couple of weeks. This wasn't new info as such but what was interesting is that chap told me that they are expecting around 1000 cars per week. How can that be possible given the frequency of the boats...

 

[Mr Miserable]

Well a boat leaves with about 1000 cars on for the UK and then about a week later another one leaves with about 1000 on for the UK and then....
That's how it works until about the middle of August.
Then it stops until October
