HERE to see a wonderful map of the world. Superimposed on it are the latest positions, updated via satellite, of confirmed Tesla ships.
Those ships are:
GLOVIS CHALLENGE is now in the Gulf of Suez and is bound for Barcelona where she is due to arrive on 09 Sep. As she heads towards Suez, her position may drop off the tracking map - nothing untoward, just a technicality. Just to prove me wrong, she has almost reached Suez and the signal has not dropped out once! I expect her to transit the canal tomorrow morning.
GLOVIS SUNRISE is heading for Southampton and I would estimate she will arrive around 16 Sep. She is now in the Red Sea and making her way up to Suez.
Do enter the GLOVIS SUNRISE competition! It's free and just a bit of fun to make your wait a bit more interesting. Enter
HERE.
I originally stated that the competition would close on Friday 09 Sep but by then the ship will already be in the Mediterranean and so I am bringing forward the closure to Wednesday 07 Sep at Midday UTC. So if you haven't entered already, I suggest you do so now!
PAGANELLA has now departed Brisbane and is now enroute to Port Kembla where she is due to arrive on Tuesday. After that will be Melbourne.
GLOVIS SUN Her ETA for Suez has now firmed up to 10 Sep. I strongly suspect she is heading for Zeebrugge - ETA ~ 19 Sep, however there is a suggestion that she may call at Southampton. She is now crossing the Arabian Sea and heading towards some very choppy seas as she approaches the Gulf of Aden. I expect to see her speed drop over the next 72 hrs but she can easily make up the time lost before she arrives in Suez.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL is also heading for Suez, although she still hasn't updated her AIS destination. She is running about 48 hrs behind GLOVIS SUN. I think it fair to assume that she must be heading for an EU port, probably Koper around 16 Sep. She is yet to appear on the Koper port arrivals board, which is not altogether unusual, however I'm now seeing vessels arriving after 16 Sep being populated. Hopefully she will appear in the next day or two.... We know she isn't heading for Barcelona. Could she be heading for Zeebrugge? If so I estimate she could arrive there around 21 Sep.
GLOVIS COURAGE departed Singapore, after an unusually long 24hr stop and is now heading for Suez with an ETA of 16 Sep. It looks very likely that she is bound for Barcelona with an ETA of 20 Sep, the timings for which look about right.
SUNRISE ACE is suspected of delivering Teslas to Singapore and is presently enroute to Barcelona (13 Sep) and eventually Zeebrugge on 21 Sep. Worth keeping an eye on.
Typhoon Hinnamnor continues to strengthen as it moves north and is now producing sustained winds of over 120mph and so is now a category 3 typhoon. As a result it is producing wave heights of over 45 feet. The storm will pass between Shanghai and Japan and so will remain at sea until it hits South Korea. The docks in Shanghai are now empty of ships and the normally packed anchorages just have a few stay-behinds at anchor. Shanghai itself will escape with just a wet and windy day however you won't have to go far out to sea to encounter some monster waves. I wouldn't want to be at anchor!
