MORNING CHORUS ETA Southampton 15 Aug with 1,000 - 1,500 cars and ETA 18 Aug Zebrugge with 1,999 M3 and 950 MY. She is currently in the Red Sea making her way northwards to the Suez Canal. I expect her to transit the canal on Saturday morning.

GLOVIS SUMMIT I believe she is heading for Koper with 3,026 M3 and 853 MY. ETA 12 Aug. I'm getting a little concerned that she has yet to appear on the Koper arrivals board and am beginning to wonder if she could be heading elsewhere. Zeebrugge?
TITUS Not a Tesla charter but believed to carrying some Teslas to the UK. ETA Southampton 21 Aug.
HOEGH ST PETERSBURG is carrying 2000 MY to Zeebrugge. If you are on the continent (or possibly Ireland) and are waiting for a MY, when you discover your source code VIN enter it
HERE. Do let me know if it was succesful, also let me know the 1st 3 digits of your VIN too please. ETA Zeebrugge 28 Aug. Please note that if you are in the UK your search will be unsuccessful because your car will not be onboard this ship!
SWALLOW ACE She is heading to Barcelona and the timing of her arrival (23 Aug) would suggest she is going direct. This is a pretty rare itinerary. The Tesla Euro shipping info leak the other week had RCC CLASSIC arriving in Barcelona on 22 Aug and so you can understand why I think SWALLOW ACE may possibly be the replacement. She is by no means a certainty but she is a prime suspect at the moment.
RCC ANTWERP has just departed Shanghai South for Suez. The question is whether she is the replacement for RCC CLASSIC. She has posted an ETA for Suez of 19 Aug which is either overly ambitious or she is in a big hurry. She could make it to Barcelona on 23 Aug if she conducts her Suez passage on the 20th and continues her sprint across the Med. Alternatively, could she be heading to Southampton? There is tremendous demand in the UK for September deliveries because a new '72 series' number plate is issued from 01 Sep. If she keeps her speed up she could arrive in Southampton on 27 Aug which is timely. A usually reliable source has informed me that the GF was probably producing MY for the UK earlier this week.
I think the clues as to which ship is likely to be the Barcelona ship will be in the VIN activity over the next couple of days. I know posts on VINs are incredibly boring but do check your Tesla account for a hidden VIN - see how to easily and reliably check in the

HARVEST LEADER is the next ship to dock in Shanghai South and she will be loading for Yokohama, Japan. Tesla have been in Japan for many years now but such is the fierce brand loyalty of the Japanese it has been a very difficult market to enter. This year the nut appears to have been cracked!
I wasn't expecting any further departures from Pier 80 this quarter and so I was surprised to see GLOVIS SOLOMAN is on her way there (ETA 13 Aug).
I'm not expecting any shipments to Europe until Q4 at the earliest and so I assume this will be a further shipment to the Far East.
