GRAND AURORA has still to enter the North Sea Canal that will lead her to Westahavn docks in Amsterdam to offload a mix of Chinese and US made Model 3’s. She is running several hours late.
At the moment she remains scheduled to arrive in Southampton’s Western Docks tomorrow evening but I wouldn’t be too surprised if this slipped right.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL is making good progress on her new course across the Atlantic.
She is about 270nm WSW of the island of Flores in the Azores.
Thursday and Friday don’t look particularly attractive weatherise for her and it may slow her down.
Her current scheduled ETA for Zeebrugge is 5 Dec and Southampton probably a couple of days later.

TANNHAUSER is continuing to average about 17kts as she heads west through the Mediterranean.
She is presently north of Algiers.
The weather looks fine for the moment but the Bay of Biscay may get a bit rough when she gets there.
She is due to arrive in Zeebrugge on 6 Dec.

RCC AMSTERDAM continues to race towards Zeebrugge at over 19kts 340nm SSW of Bermuda.
Her ETA for Zeebrugge is 07:00Z 8 Dec which is ambitious for this time of year however she still remains ahead of schedule.
At her present speed she could arrive on the evening of the 7th however I am sure the Atlantic weather will have a say in the matter.
Nevertheless she is building a healthy buffer should she encounter some heavy weather later in the week.
ETA 8 Dec for Zeebrugge and Southampton on 11 Dec

GLOVIS SUN Hopes of an earlier canal transit have been dashed as she is now back on schedule to arrive off Balboa on Wednesday afternoon/evening.
She is presently maintaining 16kts off the coast of El Salvador.
I estimate she should arrive in Zeebrugge around 15 Dec however we may see her follow RCC AMSTERDAM’s example by engaging ludicrous mode across the Atlantic.

LYDDEN should arrive in Newark next Thursday and should start loading Teslas on Friday. I estimate she will arrive in Zeebrugge around 14 Dec.
