2020 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

The San Francisco port schedule has been published.
It doesn't tell us anything we don't know but does confirm tomorrow's departure of the GLOVIS SUN.
Surprisingly, no ships have been added to the schedule nor have the existing placeholder entries been updated.

Any news yet on quantities on board?

Do we have any idea yet how packed the SUN is looking? I think there were observations saying there weren’t that many cars waiting on Pier 80 a few days ago. Do we know if any more have turned up yet?

I should imagine so. 4 days of loading would tend to suggest a full ship.

Great work Mr Miserable!

 

[Mr Miserable]

I am expecting GLOVIS SUN to leave Pier 80 around lunchtime (UK time) today and head to the entrance of the Panama Canal at Balboa. It should arrive there around 22 July.

But still destination not comfirmed, right?

But still destination not comfirmed, right?

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that it is heading for Zeebruge and I am convinced its heading there too.

 

[bobnaldo]

Thank you, hopefully my car is on that ship......

 

[Gazmayo]

I called Tesla yesterday (one of my regular calls to ‘check in’ to see if my RN has been matched to a car/VIN yet) and they advised it still hasn’t been but to expect it by early August. So hopefully means my car is on the boat leaving today but you never know. Hoping I might find out before August though as I hear they often start matching the RNs to cars while the cars are on their way over... the waiting game continues...

 

[Mr Miserable]

The GLOVIS SUN has updated its AIS destination to Panama, so I think it is safe to assume she is coming to Europe.
The only spanner is the fact that her ETA for the Canal is 24 Jul. That is a tad slow.
I am going to assume she has her transit booked on the 24 Jul. That will put her into Zeebrugge on 5 August.

So maybe means it would hit Southampton on 8th / 9th Aug I guess?

Mine too. I hope!

Is it sad I'm now tracking the ship on the MarineTraffic app?

 

[Mr Miserable]

As the GLOVIS SUN prepares to depart Pier 80, I am told to expect the GRAND DOLPHIN to arrive at the Pier late tomorrow night (SF time). It will start loading on Thursday morning.
This is earlier than the port schedule said but as I pointed out in earlier posts these placeholder entries can be pretty unreliable.

That's interesting! When did you order which configuration?

I’ve ordered a Model 3 LR AWD in blue with 19inch sport wheels.

Okay - similar to me, I've ordered a M3 LR AWD in grey with aero wheels and tow bar.

When did you order?

 

[Mr Miserable]

Shipping folks. shipping...
