Another quiet one.

THEBEN Due to arrive Zeebrugge 14 Jun. She has departed the Suez Canal and is now in the Mediterranean and the next stop will be Zeebrugge. She is due to arrive at 01:00 on 14 Jun and so she doesn't need to increase speed by much for it to appear like she will arrive on 13 Jun. The weather for the reminder of her voyage is looking OK, perhaps a little lumpy in the Bay of Biscay, but otherwise fine.
RCC EUROPE I expect her to arrive in Southampton ~17 Jun. She is now entering the Red Sea. She'll keep her speed up until she is in less dodgy waters further north. (Keeping her speed up is one of the best measures to prevent illegal boardings, not that her sheer slab sides are that inviting to pirates). This is the 3rd time Tesla have chartered this ship - she did a Pier 80 to Zeebrugge run in Feb 19 (the 4th Model 3 shipment to the EU) and did the famous Pier 80 to Amsterdam run in Dec 19 where customers had to collect their cars straight from the quayside (a change in Dutch tax law created a spike in demand - cars had to registered by 31 Dec to avoid a big tax increase and the ship arrived on 20 Dec)
The RCC EUROPE competition will close on Wednesday! Suprisingly few entries considering the number of people with their cars onboard.
Enter NOW.
HORIZON LEADER I believe she is heading to Koper ETA ~18 Jun. She has rounded the southern tip of Sri Lanka and sea conditions will have eased a little too. This is also the 3rd time that Tesla have chartered this ship - she previously did a Pier 80 - Zeebrugge run in Jan 21 and a Shanghai to Southampton run last November.
Over in Norway it's very frustrating that the
webcam covering the port of Drammen is not updating. I feel pretty sure we might have seen some MY from Berlin being unloaded from PROMETHEUS LEADER.
