HORIZON LEADER was slightly delayed last night by what looked like non-availability of tugs but she eventually docked in Southampton early this morning. This will be a full unload and mark the end of her Tesla charter.
HYPERION RAY docked in Zeebrugge yesterday and will depart to Southampton early tomorrow morning..
She is due to arrive in Southampton late tomorrow night and now depart on Sunday. The Southampton port schedule still says she will depart back to Zeebrugge however I'm still expecting her to pick up the Israeli cars left at Southampton by HELIOS RAY and take them to Ashdod. If so, I think we may be looking at an arrival there around 13 Dec if all goes to plan.
HOEGH TRACER She is currently south of Majorca enroute to Santander where she will arrive on Monday morning. i expect she will unload any Teslas bound for Spain here. Her arrival in Zeebrugge is now rescheduled to be 08 Dec.
This ship is not a Tesla charter vessel but one operating a scheduled liner service - hence all the stops on her way from China.
If you have a VIN you can check to see if your car is aboard this ship -
My cargo
GRAND DAHLIA is now in the Gulf of Suez ambling her way towards the entrance of the Suez Canal where she is due to arrive tonight. My concern is that her canal transit is booked for tomorrow morning which means she will be running 24hrs late. She was due to arrive in Southampton on 11 Dec and Zeebrugge on 12 Dec however I think it inevitable that these dates will move right by at least 1 day unless she does a 'HORIZON LEADER' and engages ludicrous mode for the final leg.

PARADISE ACE is making just over 18kts as she heads up the Red Sea for the Suez Canal. She is about 24hrs behind GRAND DAHLIA. I estimate she will arrive in Southampton around 12/13 Dec and Zeebrugge around 14 Dec.
VIKING BRAVERY is making steady progress at 16 kts as she crosses the Arabian Sea heading for Suez (7 Dec). Her arrival in Koper has been brought forward 24hrs and is now 11 Dec.
On the watch list we have just the one ship, ARABIAN SEA, possibly heading to Koper (18/19 Dec).
