The Mediterranean Tesla Fleet.
ALTAIR LEADER has some Teslas onboard which she will unload in Zeebrugge, if she ever gets there. Having lost a day or two in Piraeus she is now off to Livorno, Italy. She was meant to arrive in Zeebrugge on 18 Nov but little chance of that I'm afraid.
HELIOS RAY is continuing her stately cruise across the Med at 14kts. She's maintaining 180NM behind VIKING OCEAN. Both are due to arrive in Southampton on 20 Nov, which will be interesting...
VIKING OCEAN has clearly been told not to rush to Southampton either since she is averaging 14kts too. I'm not sure what to make of this.
HOEGH KOBE has arrived in Piraeus and I wonder whether she will be delayed there. She is due to arrive in Zeebruuge on 22 Nov.
GLOVIS CHALLENGE appears to be the only Tesla carrying ship in the Mediterranean behaving normally at present. She is averaging 18 kts on her way to Koper where she is due to arrive tomorrow evening.
NABUCCO has now entered the Red Sea. She is due to arrive at Suez on Tuesday night, then Southampton on 26 Nov and Zeebrugge on 28 Nov.

HYPERION RAY continues to not advertise her position. I have estimated her position and reckon she will just be entering the Gulf of Aden.
I expect her to arrive in Southampton on 25 Nov and Zeebrugge on 27 Nov.
HOEGH TRACER is on a scheduled service following much the same route as HOEGH KOBE. We have already seen evidence that she is carrying some Teslas (check your VIN on
My Cargo ) but she won't arrive in Zeebrugge until 4 Dec.
She is presentlyin the Arabian Sea making 17 kts towards her next stop at Port Sudan.
HORIZON LEADER has made excellent progress over the last 24 hours and is approaching the Banda Aceh peninsula at just under 18 kts. She is due at Suez on 22 Nov which will require a higher than normal speed. I estimate she will arrive in Southampton around 1 Dec.
GRAND DAHLIA continues to load at Shanghai South. She is scheduled to arrive in Southampton on 10 Dec and Zeebrugge on 12 Dec however she is delayed and those dates may well slip right. I don't see any indications that she will depart with the current high tide and so the next opportunity will be just after midnight UK time tonight.
As I half expected PLATINUM RAY is no longer a ship of interest however she could return next week.
The ship that has caught my eye at the moment is GLOVIS SUN. She is currently waiting off Shanghai and I can see that she is scheduled to operate some services in Europe next month and so she will be heading our way. She has form for being previously chartered by Tesla.
Another ship heading to Europe is BOHEME. I suspect she will be loaded with a lot of Chinese marques but she may load some Teslas to unload in Zeebrugge on 14 Dec. She will be docking in Bristol before that but don't get too excited, because no Teslas will be unloaded there.
