But the vehicles aren't likely to be on the latter as it arrives in Soton too soonThere's plenty of vehicle carriers on there from Zeebrugge though. Carmen and Polaris Highway for example

I haven't really noticed that to be honest
I suppose the secret to my accuracy is the fact that I use hours in the calculation.
However, SFO-BLB is 8 days, allow 1 day for canal transit and allow 12 days to Zeebrugge.
With those figures you won't be far out. 21 days door to door - always has been, I reckon.
Days can be gained or lost depending on the time of departure - this is where using hours makes it a little more accurate.
Of course it all depends on the cruising speed and also to a degree, the route.
I don't rely on apps or websites to calculate ETAs but use the Lat/Lon and great circle calcs (haversine formula).
I stuck all the formulas into a spreadsheet and it does the rest.
On another topic, have you had any indications of an East coast run this quarter? I haven't and I no longer have my trainspotter however I'm not sure that they will attempt one as I am sensing some oversupply, in the UK at least.
It's not looking likely that Grand Aurora is coming to the UK. See posts from page 350. My theory is that our cars (I'm collecting from Thorpe Park on the 5th) will be moved on to another ship, possibly Autostar.Docked and (probably) unloading. Going to need to get a wiggle on if I am to pick my car up on the 4th December from Thorpe Park

If the normal time from Zeebrugge to Southampton is 2 days, there's still time for PH to carry Teslas, since her ETA in Soton is 29th at 1400, which means it has until tomorrow at 1400 to load and depart.But the vehicles aren't likely to be on the latter as it arrives in Soton too soon
You're right. I was getting confused by Grand Aurora's Zeebrugge departure time on the 29th and forgetting that all vehicles should have been offloaded, and potentially unloaded on to another ship, by then.If the normal time from Zeebrugge to Southampton is 2 days, there's still time for PH to carry Teslas, since her ETA in Soton is 29th at 1400, which means it has until tomorrow at 1400 to load and depart.
For newbies (like me) Planned Movements - Southampton VTS - ABP Southampton
GRAND AURORA docked this morning in Zeebrugge.
She is not due to depart Zeebrugge until 2200 on Saturday.
She is alongside Zeebrugge long enough to unload completely and she has yet to appear on the Southampton port schedule.
Yes It has happened before. I will post shortly on what to look for and likely suspects - time for a cup of tea now!Any thoughts on the theory of having a second ship transfer UK cars to Southampton? Has that happened before?

The firm CRO who run that dock have ships that come to the UK several times a day, so they may transfer into their hands to import to UK with other manufacturers
Tesla use ICO in Zeebrugge
I concur... Minus the analysis, logic, and workings out!Actually, my money is on Autostar. It's in Zeebrugge for just shy of a day, arrives from Zeebrugge in to the Southampton Eastern docks at 01-Dec-2020 06:15 then moves across to the Western docks later that day.
