1. I'm not sure why yesterday's update didn't post until this afternoon - clearly it got stuck somewhere.
2. The Suez Canal was temporarily blocked however it is now operating normally.
3. I don't think the 2 events are connected.

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 COMPANION remains alongside in Southampton. She is due to depart tomorrow midnight for Zeebrugge.
GLOVIS CHALLENGE is currently in the Gulf of Aden and is bound for Barcelona where she is due to arrive on 09 Sep. As she heads up the Red Sea towards Suez, her position may drop off the tracking map - nothing untoward, just a technicality.
GLOVIS SUNRISE is heading for Southampton and I would estimate she will arrive around 16 Sep. She is presently crossing the Arabian Sea.
Do enter the GLOVIS SUNRISE competition! It's free and just a bit of fun to make your wait a bit more interesting. Enter

PAGANELLA Is bound for Brisbane (04 Sep - note new date), Port Kembla (09 Sep) and Melbourne (13 Sep) and I expect her drop Teslas off at each port. (Those dates for PK and MEL may move right a day or two)
GLOVIS SUN Her ETA for Suez has now firmed up to 10 Sep. I strongly suspect she is heading for Zeebrugge - ETA ~ 19 Sep.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL is now heading for Suez, although she 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 however this is not unusual and she may not appear until about 7 days before she is due to arrive.
GLOVIS COURAGE is heading for a refuel stop off Singapore on Saturday. It looks very likely that she is bound for Barcelona with an ETA of 20 Sep. She is well clear of the Super Typhoon Hinnamnor.
SWALLOW ACE was reported to have some Teslas onboard. However, I now think it this is very unlikely as she is now heading south to Koper. She is no longer a suspect.
SUNRISE ACE is suspected of delivering Teslas to Singapore and is presently enroute to Barcelona (13 Sep) and eventually Zeebrugge on 21 Sep
