Thanks.
GRANDE CALIFORNIA may possibly be heading to Koper Slovenia with Teslas. If she is I would expect her to arrive there around 2 Feb.
HOEGH TRAVELLER whilst the itinerary is correct any idea that this ship will be carrying Teslas to Southampton should be completely ignored. There is slight evidence to suggest she MAY have SOME Teslas onboard which she is transporting to Zeebrugge. If I'm sounding a little doubtful it's because this is one ship where if you have the VIN you can actually check to see if your car is onboard and I'm not seeing a flood on confirmations. 2 people in France is not very convincing. This ship is on a regular scheduled service (although the Manilla stop for a crew change was unusual) and is visiting some ports which are subject to port congestion and so the chances of her actually arriving in Zeebrugge on 12 Feb are pretty slim.
VIKING SEA is heading for Suez with an ETA of 31 Jan. This is quite a small ship and I would normally discount her because of her size but last quarter we saw her sister ship used by Tesla to ship cars to Southampton.
PAGNA is heading for Suez with an ETA of 01 Feb. Again, a small ship that was used by Tesla to ship cars to Southampton. However this ship was also used to ship MGs in the past and we know there is a shipment of those on the way at the moment too.
HYPERION RAY is the most likely Tesla ship. She is due in Suez on 29 Jan and I would estimate that she should arrive in Southampton around 07 Feb.
VIKING BRAVERY is a ship with previous 'form' of being chartered by Tesla. She will arrive alongside Shanghai later today and I will be interested to learn where she departs to.
Once a ship departs the Suez Canal her European destination will be revealed for certain however by then the supporting evidence is usually overwhelming and the Tesla ships will have already been positively identified.
Meanwhile over in California,
GLOVIS CARDINAL has departed from Pier 80 and is enroute to S Korea. There is some speculation that she may have S/X on board but this is probably a bit too early and I'm hoping to receive confirmation from a source on this.
The chart below shows the latest satellite positions of the ships of interest.
