Hello,
Wee evening update for everyone since I am bored and watching ships travel (very slowly) on this app..
SFL CONDUCTOR has now departed Zeebrugge and is headed to Bremerhaven in Germany. Her ETA is 6am UK time, where I assume she will be offloading yet more beautiful shiny new cars!
ELEKTRA is hopefully still doing wonders. We need to protect her at all costs. Her ETA is still for Southampton on the 13th at 8pm. She still has AIS turned off, but my guess now is she will be well and truly in the Alboran Sea and possibly anywhere above Algiers at the minute. ETA Zeebrugge still 18th Sep.
GRAND RUBY to our surprise has no ETA for Southampton, even though that is the vessel a lot of us were told our vehicles were on. It’ll be interesting to see if she stops at Zeebrugge first then goes back to Southampton on her way back to China. ETA Zeebrugge has moved forward by 2 days to 14th Sep at 4am. - I said this earlier today, but now her ETA has changed back to 16th September at 5am UK time (4am UTC). What is interesting is her speed has increased to 18 knots, yet still seems stuck off the coast of Greece. I had a look earlier today and she was almost pointing up towards Greece, where she made a stop. It was very quick, perhaps a crew changeover?
TRITON ACE is currently moored at the Suez Canal awaiting passage overnight. We assume by tomorrows update she will have more concrete ETAs, but they still stand as Southampton is 18th Sep, with Zeebrugge a few days after.
GLOVIS SPLENDOR is now at the Suez Canal South Anchor. Any minute she will update her location. Here's a theory though... a lot of us were told our cars were on '
GRAND RUBY' but my SA told me it was a ship beginning with G. I assumed
GRAND RUBY simply because the timings matched for leaving Shanghai, getting an allocation text and then approaching the Suez and getting my registration number. What if our cars are actually on
GLOVIS SPLENDOR though and not
GRAND RUBY after all? Let's bloody hope she is going straight to Southampton!
DIONYSOS LEADER we assumed was going to Zeebrugge for 21st Sep, but now is heading to Livorno in Italy for an ETA of 12th Sep. Is she stopping off and dropping cars off to various parts of Europe that are too far to go by road from Zeebrugge? Turkey, Italy, perhaps other Southern European countries? - this is still the case. No real change here.
THEBEN is the final ship we are keeping an eye on. She is heading straight to Zeebrugge with an ETA of 14th Sep 2am. Does she have Tesla’s on board? - again no change here.
Have a great night and see you all in the morning.
