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 still in the Red Sea making her way northwards to the Suez Canal where she will arrive tomorrow. I don't know why she isn't appearing on the Tracker Map at the moment but, trust me, she is still afloat and doing just under 16kts. I expect her to transit the canal on Saturday morning.
LAST CHANCE to enter the MORNING CHORUS competition! The competition closes tomorrow at Midday UTC (1pm UK time).

GLOVIS SUMMIT As I posted this morning, I'm having doubts as to whether Koper is her destination. Koper can be a little lethargic in updating their arrivals board but I would have expected by now the board to be accurate for an arrival on 12 Aug. I'll give it another 24 hrs....
I believed she was heading for Koper with 3,026 M3 and 853 MY. ETA 12 Aug.
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 departed Shanghai South for Suez yesterday. The question is whether she is the replacement for RCC CLASSIC. She has posted an ETA for Suez of 19 Aug which means she is in a big hurry. She is currently entering the Straits of Taiwan and maintaining 18kts. The fact that she is going through the Straits is a bit of a surprise. A lot of ships are noticeably giving Taiwan a wide berth at the moment. I suppose if she hugs the Chinese coast she should be fine. 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
Links of interest. It worked for me!
HARVEST LEADER is currently loading in Shanghai South for Yokohama, Japan. I think her departure must be imminent because GLOVIS COMPANION is heading in.
GLOVIS COMPANION looks like she will replace HARVEST LEADER alongside Shanghai South.
Now if we hadn't discovered SWALLOW ACE's destination I would have declared that RCC ANTWERP is hightailing it to Barcelona and GLOVIS COMPANION will be heading to Southampton. Bear that in mind. Clearly I will need to rule SWALLOW ACE out of the equation for this to be the case.
SWALLOW ACE remains a suspect, for the moment. I forgot to mention that VOLANS LEADER dropped off the watch list yesterday. SARA LEADER is the only other ship on there at the moment.
