Question: when you look at ships' likelihood of transporting Tesla cars do you compare ships chartered ships to ships on scheduled service.
I'm just asking as you are betting on RCC Africa and not Tugela - is that a case of chartered vs. scheduled?
Addition: I see it on my schedule source too now. Interesting, on my list too now. Great catch, I missed it, while fine combing the schedules.

RCC AFRICA LHD to Zeebrugge arrival around 11 May
Still haven't positively identified RHD shipment. I suspect one shipment is already enroute.
2nd shipment should be being assembled now so a ship within the next week. Should see other RHD markets being served too.
I suspect Model Y being shipped from Pier 80 to EU are for EU showrooms.
I expect RHD Model Y to come from Shanghai (No hint that UK Model Y launch is imminent though)
I am informed by my local source that GLOVIS COSMOS will not depart Pier 80 until Saturday (17 Apr) evening.
Over in Shanghai, TOKYO CAR is now alongside. This vessel was used in Q1 to transport RHD models to Australia.
Meanwhile in Singapore LYDDEN has departed for Suez. She not only refuelled there but also docked. Singapore is a RHD market.
So LYDDEN remains a ship of interest and we will probably have to wait until she leaves Suez to find out where she is heading.

I'm waiting on a SR+, ordered by Leaseplan on Wednesday. Just noticed that the Swedish inventory ("under transport") was updated today with my exact configuration, so I guess I'm about get matched or already have been matched. I was in contact with sales rep yesterday, they didn't know then if it was going to be a car from Shanghai or Fremont.
I just got a new update for mid May delivery in Israel, and the vin is indeed MIC, I suspect its on the RCC AFRICA and might make a stop in Ashdod / Greece to make it on time?
RCC AFRICA is just arriving off Singapore to refuel.
She will drop anchor, a refuelling barge will come alongside her and she will spend the next 8-12 hours refuelling.

Israel is a "new market", delivered first time from Shanghai. Think we have to wait and watch, which way ur car will go.
For me it would make sense to transfer cars for Israel in Greece.

Does the RCC Africa only have 3 pin charger on board?
Hi Mr Miserable I am from Israel I received today vin LRW Register for me Receipt of the vehicle 15.5 Which ship?
I believe the currest estimates are on RCC AFRICA which is due to arrive at Suez canal at April 30.
Pier 80 movements
GLOVIS COSMOS will depart this evening, and the word on the street is that this should happen around 5pm local (0100 UK Time). The first clue of an imminent departure will be when LE MANS EXPRESS picks up her pilot and starts to approach SF Bay. Apparently the previous RCC TIANJIN/GLOVIS COSMOS changeover where the dock was empty for only about 10 minutes was an operation they want to repeat.
At the moment I estimate GLOVIS COSMOS will arrive in Zeebrugge around 8 May.
I am unsure about LE MANS EXPRESS' destination but I am reasonably confident it will not be to Europe. She won't be alongside for too long as GRAND RACE is already on the way and is due to arrive on Monday evening. GRAND RACE is quite an old ship and is about 20 metres shorter than a 'standard' RoRo and so I don't think she will be heading to Europe either.
I have tried to forecast future Pier 80 ships to Europe and I am not as confident as previous quarters because I think the Suez blockage has disrupted EU shipping schedules and they are not yet fully populated. Additionally with some cars for EU being supplied by Shanghai this quarter I think we may see a corresponding reduction in the number of ships heading to Zeebrugge from Pier 80 this quarter.
I am pretty sure we can expect to see LAKE FUXION (a cert to Zeebrugge) and GLOVIS SUMMIT is looking a likely suspect but any others would just be guesswork at the moment.
Shanghai movements
Nailing down Tesla ships from Shanghai is again proving to be hard work.
RCC AFRICA is believed to be carrying LHD Model 3s to Zeebrugge. She has just left Singapore (refuel stop) and has already entered the Malacca Straits and is due to arrive at the southern entrance to the Suez Canal on the 30 Apr. There are no longer any significant delays at Suez and I have pencilled her in to arrive in Zeebrugge on 11 May. There are no weather concerns for her voyage at present.
I believe there is a ship already enroute to Southampton with RHD Model 3s on board.
The published Southampton port schedule does not project far enough ahead to positively identify possible Tesla ships so it is a case of waiting until the ship has passed through Suez to see where exactly it is heading.
There are a number of ships on my watch list at the moment:
GLORIOUS LEADER (a very slim chance in my opinion) ETA Suez on 25 Apr
LYDDEN ETA Suez on 29 Apr
Also appearing on my watch list are ships heading through Singapore. If they head to Suez after Singapore they will remain of interest.
TORRENS ETA Singapore tomorrow
GLOVIS CHAMPION ETA Singapore 20 Apr
LYDDEN is looking promising at the moment. She is presently in the Malacca Straits making about 15 kts. If she is heading for Southampton I would expect her around 9 May
There are good indications that Shanghai has recently completed a RHD production run and that being the case I am monitoring the port for a further possible departure to Southampton. Certainly I believe at least one further shipment will be heading to the UK this quarter. I fully expect to see departures to Aus/NZ around the same time.
Another change for Tesla this quarter is that cars destined for Israel may be coming from Shanghai instead of Fremont. Quite how these cars will be shipped is unknown at present. They may be shipped via Zeebrugge on a Tesla charter and then moved to Antwerp for loading onto a Grimaldi scheduled service (as was done in Q1 from Pier 80) or because of the relatively small numbers may be shipped from China on a scheduled service. I shall try to keep an eye out for any possiblities. RCC ANTWERP may be worth keeping an eye on.

Hello @Mr Miserable, I do same "job" like u in the german TFF-Forum, therefore I have special interest for ur informations.
I´m sure last report wasn´t done within 10min and I go with u to 100%. This Quarter is very special!
Like you, I believe that one of the ships currently heading for the Suez Canal is carrying only cars for GB.
However, I still have the TUGELA and the TUREADOR under observation. Are you totally ruling out these 2 ships?
They are both first in a northern port and then heading south to Singapore.
And as for the SR+ for Israel. To me it would make sense to transfer them in the Mediterranean. (possibly Piraeus?)
Everything else would be unnecessary waste of time in my opinion.
I'm really curious to see how the transport routes will still develop this quarter. Resolution probably end of April or beginning of May.
Greetings from the German" Teslaforum" and well done
