2021 Shipping Movements

[ElektriskMatze]

VIKING OCEAN continues to dawdle her way northwards. She's currently off Lisbon making just 12 kts. With 860 NM to go at this rate she will make it on time (just).
HELIOS RAY is now in the Atlantic south of Portugal and in no particular hurry either (see above) Southampton 21 Nov.
ALTAIR LEADER is going flat out in choppy seas off Majorca in an attempt to arrive at Zeebrugge on Sunday evening.
HOEGH KOBE will pass through the Straits of Gibraltar later today. She is on track to arrive in Zeebrugge on Monday.
HOEGH TRACER continues up the Red Sea. She is due to arrive in Port Sudan tomorrow. Zeebrugge on 4 Dec.
HORIZON LEADER in Arabian Sea. I estimate her arrival in Southampton to be 01 Dec
GRAND DAHLIA in South China Sea. Will arrive off Singapore for refuel on Saturday. Southampton 10 Dec Zeebrugge 12 Dec

BOHEME may have some Teslas to unload at Zeebrugge on 14 Dec

The only other ship of interest at the moment is the Koper bound ship that will start loading in Shanghai tomorrow night.

Is there no skip on his way to Norway? I have a VIN in the source code.

Ships coming to Norway goes to Zeebrugge first, then Malmö and then Drammen.

 

[Mr Miserable]

The plan as outlined to me was that RHD production for both M3 and MY will continue to come from Shanghai for some time to come.

I stand corrected: The plan is for UK MY to be supplied from Berlin in Q2.

 

[feboga]

Good morning all! I got a estimated delivery date of Dec, 9th in Spain for my MY. Which ship could it be on?

 

[thewanted]

I stand corrected: The plan is for UK MY to be supplied from Berlin in Q2.

So no chance of getting a MY in Q1 then?

 

[stefaanbolle]

I was told that a tow bar means a special/factory build so would take longer to arrive.

Can confirm that. Ordered in April, expecting delivery in December in Zeebrugge

 

[bogild]

Just talked to CA I have been allocated a VIN number and should expect mid to late December delivery in Denmark. Can’t find the vin in source searching for “LRW” or “JLY” ?
what ship could it be on?

model Y order date 29/10 standard white/black/19

This is exciting news. What is your source?

VIKING AMBER, which is arriving Drammen today could have TMY on it?

As we wait for MR M's internet connectivity and daily report I note the VIKING OCEAN has entered the Bay of Biscay, so I feel another kick of the jukebox is required.

Spoiler: Thar be Earworms and Rocks ;)

What is Hoegh Tracer doing in Jeddah instead of Port Sudan as planned?

Of course, as soon as I post the jukebox video above, Wu Wa comes through with a look at the main loading pier on the Yangtze River:

 

[Quanticone]

You can't believe everything on the internet though - I note some sites are quoting PARADISE ACE as a Tesla ship when with just a teeny weeny bit of research it would show that it cannot possibly be.

Hello, I just saw an Spanish guy on a Tesla Telegram group I belong, that he was said by SC his car is on Paradise Ace.

 

[Mr Miserable]

An interesting photo is doing the rounds which shows a load of Teslas parked at the docks in Shanghai. The 2 ships in the background are LIBERTY ACE and TOSCA, neither of which are of interest to us. Later this evening, VIKING BRAVERY will dock where TOSCA (the green one on the right) is and hopefully start loading some of these cars.
The photo is unusual in that I think these cars are in an overflow parking area with the main Tesla lot being locate in the top right of the picture.
This tends to suggest more than one shipload. I expect shipments to South Korea to be made around now (we can't identify those as there are too many ships going to/fro S Korea as a matter of course) and we have a big shipment to Australia departing on the 28th onboard MORNING CLARA.

Edit: I'm having problems loading the picture from my mobile! In fact, It's not going to happen since it's a still from the video posted above!

 

[Mr Miserable]

PARADISE ACE is going to Derince Turkey, Tilbury UK, Antwerp Belgium, and Bremerhaven Germany. None of these destinations would handle a Spanish delivery.

 

[Mr Miserable]

What is Hoegh Tracer doing in Jeddah instead of Port Sudan as planned?

Yes. HOEGH KOBE did that as well - ie changed her destination at the last minute from Port Sudan to Jeddah. I don't know the reason why but I assume there must be a problem with Port Sudan at the moment.

 

[Mr Miserable]

Of course, as soon as I post the jukebox video above, Wu Wa comes through with a look at the main loading pier on the Yangtze River:

A good video showing at the end the ships TOSCA (the green one) and LIBERTY ACE (the blue one) loading earth movers. Some people still think it's just cars, and specifically just Tesla cars, that get shipped from Shanghai. Also you can see a small domestic car transport vessel (AN JI 22) docked near TOSCA.

It's a shame the video didn't show in detail the usual Tesla staging area which I suspect is full.

 

[Mr Miserable]

VIKING BRAVERY is on the move again and is now heading towards the mouth of the Yangtze - so 2 to 3 hours before she is alongside in Shanghai.

 

[BenKart]

What is Hoegh Tracer doing in Jeddah instead of Port Sudan as planned?

I was going to ask the same question but I've noticed that they've updated the next destination.
