Hi All
I'm still away on my 'vacance'.
I'm currently nursing a hangover that would kill an ID3 driver.
Despite that, I'm looking forward to repeat the process again this evening.
THEBEN will arrive in Zeebrugge tomorrow. She may have some RHD for Ireland onboard but most will be LHD for mainland Europe.
RCC EUROPE She will arrive in Southampton on 17 June. I know the port schedule has her arriving on the 16th but I can't see her making that. I'm expecting her to unload completely here. The results of the RCC EUROPE competition will be announced in about 30 mins or so, soon after 12:00 UTC.
HORIZON LEADER will arrive in Koper on 18 Jun. Again this will be a full unload. She should navigate the Suez Canal tomorrow.
MORNING PEACE I'm now persuaded that she is carrying Teslas onboard, although I think she may have other types onboard too. She is heading initially to Barcelona on 23 Jun. There have been many rumours about Tesla using Barcelona sometime in the future and it looks like the future is 23 Jun. She then heads to Southampton on 29 Jun and Zeebrugge 01 Jul. Clearly many UK deliveries and all the Zeebrugge cars will spill over to Q3 - this is not a deliberate Tesla policy but a result of MORNING PEACE suffering a breakdown just after departing Shanghai necessitating a week's delay as repairs were carried out in S Korea.
I'm not expecting any more 'Tesla' ships for UK/EU to depart Shanghai until July which will mean no further deliveries until August (unless the cars arrived on the ships named above).
You can see
HERE where all the above ships are currently located.
I'm heading off to another Cave de Vins for a 'tasting'. See you in Q3!
