Here’s a nice documentary showing the loading and unloading challenges on these enormous vehicles. The ship in this video is the Hoegh Oslo which has 14 decks and a capacity of 8.000 cars (if I remember correctly)
Ordered my SR+ 13.7.2020
Got my VIN 28.7.2020
Estimate delivery date is 28.8.2020
Any ideas where it's sailing?
Not that I am aware of.Is Tesla still shipping cars to the North of England to advoid the road trip?
Not yet.Anyone know if it's possible to track the trucks with the cars when they are leaving Zeebrugge? I know it's a long shot
You're not the only one following and waitingMany thanks ... I will do (even if it’s a bit of a sad thing to do! )
Is each car individually strapped to the deck?
Also, maybe it’s been asked, but how many levels of cars does a ship like this have?
thats an amazing video - thanks for that! Those drivers don't hang about!
I shiver to imagine those drivers flooring Performance Model 3's onto those boats! at least there will be no exhaust emissions for them!
I was thinking that. Our cars are going to get ragged just by going on and off the boat!thats an amazing video - thanks for that! Those drivers don't hang about!

Hi Mr M,GRAND DAHLIA Her position at midday z is shown on the chart below. On time and on track with just under 1300nm to go.
ETA Zeebrugge on Thursday (13th).
A little disappointed however not to find her scheduled into Southampton on the 15th - note to self to keep an eye on this.

GLOVIS CAPTAIN Cleared the canal yesterday and entered an unusually rough Caribbean (waves of about 3.5m) heading for the Windward Passage. Only making 11 Kts at the moment and since 1800z yesterday has averaged just 12.2 kts. This is not good. She is due into Zeebrugge on 21 Aug. Conditions will improve as she approaches the Windward Passage.

RCC ASIA Still alongside Pier 80 and should complete loading later today. Will depart about this time tomorrow and I am expecting it to be to Zeebrugge. Could be a lot of RHD on this ship. ETA around 1 Sep
GLOVIS STELLA Will move alongside Pier 80 tomorrow night or early Wednesday morning. I don’t expect her to be coming to Europe.
GLOVIS SIGMA Expected at Pier 80 on 17 Aug. I expect her to be coming to Europe. ETA Zeebrugge around 11 Sep.
GLOVIS CLIPPER Still looking good to be a candidate for Pier 80 however I don’t think she is EU bound.
DONINGTON The big one. Probably the final ship of Q3. I would expect her to come to Europe but IMHO needs to be at Zeebrugge before 21 Sep. That means she needs to leave Pier 80 by 31 Aug. Having said all that, I have still to find any supporting evidence to suggest that she is coming to Europe.
Hi Mr M,
I too thought it curious the GD is not on the Southampton port list for arrival on or around 15/8. I found out that the Agent for this ship is a Premiership Ltd based in Newport. They said the GD is not due in Southampton until 29/8...I presume this means that all cars will be unloaded in ZEE and then put on another boat?? Is this a normal exercise? Definitely expected GD was going to dock at Southampton, perhaps the Agent is misinformed?
