GRAND AURORA can’t dock in Zeebrugge because of works in progress on the Vandamme lock which is not scheduled to complete until 0200 tomorrow morning. She spent 12 hours or so loitering to the west of the Isle of Wight since yesterday evening.
I can only assume she was holding there whilst enquiries were made into the viability of offloading her Southampton cargo early.
It was a sound idea in principle but the realities of Southampton’s congestion put paid to it and she is now 21 nm south of Selsey Bill ambling towards Zeebrugge.
She is not due to depart Zeebrugge until 2200 on Saturday.
She will be alongside Zeebrugge long enough to unload completely and she still has yet to appear on the Southampton port schedule.
TOSCANA continues to progress across the Bay of Biscay and is approaching the Brest peninsula.
She is ahead of schedule at the moment and unless she secures an earlier docking time I expect she will slow in the English Channel.
She is currently due to arrive in Zeebrugge very early on Friday morning.
With GRAND AURORA unloading concurrently, the Tesla agents in Zeebrugge are going to be very busy.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL will pass through the Mona Passage later today and enter the Atlantic.
She is maintaining just under 18kts which if she is able to maintain for the rest of the voyage, would see her arrive PM 4 Dec
Her current scheduled ETA for Zeebrugge is 5 Dec and Southampton probably a couple of days later.
I mentioned yesterday that I would not be surprised if she tries to get to Zeebrugge a little earlier because there is more work scheduled on the lock in Zeebrugge.
TANNHAUSER will arrive off Suez this evening.
The weather continues to be fine.
She is due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 6 Dec.
RCC AMSTERDAM is on schedule to arrive at the entrance to the Panama Canal tomorrow evening.
She is making 16kts and is currently off the coast of Costa Rica
The weather for the next couple of days will be generally satisfactory with occasional heavy rain and the odd isolated thunderstorm.
I expect her in Zeebrugge around 9 Dec and Southampton on 12 Dec
Enter the RCC AMSTERDAM competition here.
GLOVIS SUN is making good progress down the Pacific coast.
There are no immediate weather concerns
She is currently about 130nm SW of San Diego.
I estimate she should arrive in Zeebrugge around 15 Dec.
Enter what will probably be the final competition of the year, the GLOVIS SUN competition now.
GLOVIS CAPTAIN has already finished loading at Pier 80 and is about to depart to Tianjin, China
