Daily update time:
TALIA is making steady progress across the Med. I'm a little disappointed in her because she was scheduled to arrive in Southampton on 29 Oct but now she seems resigned to arrive the next day on 30 Oct. The weather for her Med transit is looking fine and should produce no surprises however its perhaps a little too early to guarantee her transit north along the Portugese coast or her Bay of Biscay crossing will be so smooth. I'll take another look at that as she nears Gibraltar. After Southampton she is due to arrive in Zeebrugge but I reckon that will be delayed until 1 Nov or even 2 Nov depending on her Southampton movements (she was originally scheduled to unload in both the Eastern and Western Docks). We won't find out her Southampton movements until Sunday.

LAKE FUXIAN is heading to Zeebrugge and should arrive there around 10 Nov. Currently she is racing across the southern Bay of Bengal at over 18kts in good weather conditions. She should arrive in Suez on 31 Oct, but at her present rate.....

LAKE GENEVA is heading for Koper in Slovenia where she is due to arrive on 6 Nov. She is currently in the Straits of Malacca making just over 17kts.
She is due to arrive in Suez on 2 Nov. Using these dates we can firmly rule her out from being a possible caller at Ashdod.

So I have high confidence now that the three ships above are 'Tesla" ships.
There are other ships on the way that may turn out to be Tesla ships, or may not, and these are on my watch list which will be the subject of another post from me later.
