2021 Shipping Movements

[Mr Miserable]

GLOVIS SUMMIT is heading to Southampton and will now arrive in the wee small hours of Monday morning. She is presently heading for the Straits of Gibraltar and is maintaining a healthy 18kts.

GLOVIS COMPANION is now in the Red Sea and is racing towards the Suez Canal at over 18kts. She is due to arrive there on Saturday afternoon.

LAKE GENEVA is still battling a choppy Arabian Sea and is struggling to achieve 15kts. She should find herself in the Gulf of Aden late tomorrow where smoother seas will allow her to make up for any lost time. She is not due to arrive in Suez until 25 Aug and so has time to spare.

GRAND RUBY continues to load in Shanghai. I estimate she will arrive in Southampton on 14 Sep.

GLOVIS SPLENDOR is finally on the move from her long-term anchorage and will hopefully soon be loading in Shanghai - the final ship of Q3 and probably heading to Zeebrugge.

 

[Mr Miserable]

I am very aware that I haven't listed ELEKTRA in my summary today but I am a little suprised that there hasn't been a cacophony of VIN allocations etc in EU over the last 24 hours which I would expect from a ship of this size departing Shanghai.
We shall see what happens when GLOVIS SPLENDOR departs.....

As for other ships - yes there are other ships sailing from Shanghai to Europe but I have concentrated on the known or likely Tesla ships rather than list a lot of unassociated car carriers.

Never thought tracking ships would be this exciting! Based on the date my SA has given me, I’m going to assume my car is onboard Grand Ruby.

Thank you for the update, @Mr Miserable!

Just an FYI for everyone, Tesla have confirmed my car is on GLOVIS SUMMIT. I have a delivery date of 1st September, for my Model 3 Long Range.

 

[Olib1990]

I've told Telsa I'm going to struggle to collect after the 17th September and they've told me that it should arrive just in time. I'm assuming that it'll be on Grand Ruby, but I was assigned a car over a week ago. Would that be unusual so far before departure?

I've been told that there's a 7-day window to collect the car before they unallocate the car so there is some flexibility since I will also be very busy around that time in September which will make it a bit challenging to collect the car around then.

My VIN ends in 331***, ordered one week ago from existing inventory, I think it's already on an incoming ship. The website shows a delivery date (to Italy) from Sept. 8 to Sept. 22.

 

[Jaybee@]

Ordered an Inventory car on 2/8 thinking it was in Newcastle; no vin on account yet but apparently I have been assigned a VIN once I used the view page source method few days now;still none appearing on account. VIN 321*** ,I am guessing still coasting in Shanghai

Good news may I ask if your VIN ends 321***?

 

[londonev]

I orderd my M3 LR on the 23/07/21. No Vin. No messages, not nothing from Tesla. I've sold my car in anticipation, and now relying on the wife's car. Wife not happy.

Same, sold mine the day I ordered to we buy any car. When are they ever happy?

Other threads seem to have confirmed SFL Conductor as a Tesla ship. I can’t read German, so I don’t know what their source is. But this ship would align closest with the 10th September arrival in the UK I’ve been given by Tesla.

I'm aware of SFL Conductor being quoted elsewhere as a Tesla ship.
Earlier this quarter we had sources in Europe saying their cars were onboard GLOVIS SUPERIOR - all complete tosh.

Just to complicate the issue it now looks very much like GLOVIS SPLENDOR is not going to be a Tesla ship after all.

I am on the same boat. In the process to sell the car on Motorway as they give me 2k more than Tesla, although I am a bit nervous with the radio silence.

In terms of time it takes to sell, the Motorway chap told me once I receive an offer I have a couple of days to accept and then the dealer will come to my place and collect the car within 5-10 biz days.

Motorway contacted me at 3.30 yesterday, I accepted the offer over the phone and by 5 they’d callked back to say they’d received the settlement figure and would contact me to arrange inspection/collection this morning. That would be in the next 5 days. It’s a much better experience that WeBuyAnyCar.

 

[Mr Miserable]

GRAND RUBY has departed Shanghai with a revised ETA for Suez of 7 Sep.
Accordingly my estimate for her arrival in Southampton is now 16 Sep.

 

[SuperVisual]

It seems my car is on the Grand Ruby as it departed today and I found my VIN today (been checking everyday).

Found my VIN in the source code this morning as well. 335XXX. Order SR+ 07/08/2021.

 

[StuBee]

So I guess the big question is: Is the Grand Ruby the last one of the quarter to leave or will there be another one after it coming to the UK.......

I had the same excellent experience with Motorway. Accepted the offer (substantially more than Tesla). Inspection and collection was arranged 2 days later and the money was in my account before the driver left after the inspection.

Based on below I think SFL conductor is VW ship and not a Tesla ship as SFL leased all their fleet to them.

I notice a lot of VIN's being allocated today (Grand Ruby) If the VIN is allocated when the ship is loaded then it seems to me that there must be a ship in between Lake Geneva and Grand Ruby because myself and a number of others reported receiving their VIN's around 12th August.

Hi,

We have delivery date confirmed for 2. september in Ringsted, Denmark. Tesla rep told me the car in arriving the night of the 1. september, so earlier collection wouldn't be an option.
The car is a Model 3 SR+ and vin ending on 313xxx, what ship might that car be on? I'm pretty sure it should be offloaded at Zeebrugge.
First assumption was GLOVIS SUMMIT but that is due for Southampton instead of Zeebrugge.

Any suggestions? Because I can't get it to match any ships.
