Just curious Mr M What size of a ship is Glovis Sunrise? And as a Roll on Roll off how long would would it take load say 2000 M3's?

Too blatant! I'm not going to rise to the bait!
*** GLOVIS SONIC DESTINATION ***
The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the GLOVIS SONIC is off to Hong Kong!
This site has been guilty of publishing incorrect information in the past regarding the destination of the Tesla ships however in this case I think it is probably going to prove to be correct.
We won't absolutely know for sure until the GLOVIS SONIC updates her AIS which will probably occur just as she leaves the dock.
According to my sources she is due to depart early tomorrow morning (Lunchtime in UK).
Meanwhile the GLOVIS SUN remains at anchor in the bay.
At the moment it is not planned to be alongside Pier 80 and be in a position to start loading until Friday (10th) morning.
I can be reasonably confident that GLOVIS SUN will be coming to Europe since she appears on some European port schedules during early August. (Having said that GRAND PIONEER is still showing on some port schedules in early August too - confirming my suspicion that she was waved off at the last minute).
In the meantime, the wait continues.....

The tension is killing me here!
Thanks for keeping us all updated - I’m on the edge of my seat here.....
I had to get a hire car and trying to time it - Longer length so it’s cheaper per day and then shorter so I have a TESLA can you guess an approx earliest time so I can book my hire car out that far - then extend daily closer to the time - like is first week of August already out and it’s likely 2nd week at this stage? (I promise not to sue you!! Any suggestions welcome!)
I think the GLOVIS SUN will arrive in Zeebrugge around 3 August.
On that basis the earliest deliveries in the UK from that shipment will be around 10 August.
However, there is no guarantee that your car is on the GLOVIS SUN. Remember Tesla do not build to order.
If you get a hidden VIN a couple of days or so after the ship leaves Pier 80 there is some hope though.
@CPhoenix I will know all about your car once you have a hidden vin has been assigned, and a week after your car has departed Houston. I should know the exact container ship at that point and have access to your car’s full journey from Fremont. I expect your car to be on a train now to Houston.
GLOVIS SONIC's destination of Hong Kong is confirmed by the ship's AIS.
This will be the 1st time a Tesla ship has departed to Hong Kong.
Last April the GLOVIS SONIC made the 1st departure from Pier 80 to Japan.
Anyway, she is preparing to leave the pier in a couple of hours from now.

All previous ships were by container to hong kong (it was getting into the hundreds). There was no Q2 ship, so this would make sense to satisfy built up demand.
Could be likely to go to elsewhere afterwards in Asia given it is a large RoRo
Agreed that it may go elsewhere afterwards however it only had 24 hours alongside at pier 80, so no big quantities involved.
GoshFirst of all, Happy Birthday, Mr M.
Once the first boat has departed, when are they used normally to put the destinations on the boat in the doc?
I hadn't noticed that! Thank you!Lo siento pero no entiendo tu pregunta.
The Tesla Carriers spreadsheet?
It gets updated almost as soon as the information is confirmed. The good thing about that spreadsheet is that it is all fact.
It's nothing to do with me but I've donated to its upkeep.
About this time tomorrow the GLOVIS SUN will finally leave its anchorage (it's home since 3 Jun) and take up its position alongside Pier 80 to commence loading.
We don't know how long the loading operation will take but hopefully it will be longer than the 24hrs GLOVIS SONIC took!
I should start with a health warning - We don't actually know for sure that she is coming to the EU. Having said that however I believe I have seen enough evidence of the ship being scheduled into various European ports during August that I think it's almost a certainty.
Looking at past shipments to EU, I'm hoping the loading will be a 3 day event at the very least.
On that basis, I'm estimating that the GLOVIS SUN will arrive in Zeebrugge around 3 August. I will refine this once we know when she is due to depart from the pier.
The next obvious question is, how big is the GLOVIS SUN?
A 'standard' car carrier is 199m in length and has a beam (width) of 32m. That width is based on the maximum width that could be accommodated by the Panama Canal before the new locks were built.
The GLOVIS SUN, which entered service in 2015, is larger than a standard car carrier. She is the same length at 199m but is wider at 35m.
That makes her too wide for the old Panama Canal locks and so she will have to use the new canal locks.
She also has more decks than a standard carrier too making her taller.
She can carry 7384 R/T (1 RT = 1966 Toyota Corona) however a Model 3 is longer and wider than a 1966 Toyota Corona and most importantly, is a lot heavier.
That weight difference is so significant it is the principle reason why the ship will not be 'filled to the gunwales'.
More on loading in a later post....

Just dropping in to say thanks to Mr Miserable for keeping us informed and entertained. Been following the thread since I ordered my M3 a bit over a month ago.

Badger out
I don't actually know when the next ship to EU will be but if past form is anything to go by we won't be waiting long - a week maybe?
The next ship to load at Pier 80 after the GLOVIS SUN should be the GRAND DOLPHIN which is pencilled in for the 17 July.
The timing looks good for it being another EU ship but who knows?
There is sadly no webcam of Pier 80 and it's not particularly easy to get photos of - you need a big lens.
