Time for an update!
Summary: Wednesday 19 Oct
Do we have an UK ship at last?
GLOVIS SUPREME ETA Barcelona 25 Oct
HOEGH COPENHAGEN ETA Zeebrugge on 05 Nov.
DENEB LEADER ETA Jebel Ali Dubai ~ 22 Oct (although not showing on the Jebel Ali arrivals board)
All the above ships are not 'Tesla' ships in the true sense, in that they have not been chartered by Tesla - they are just being used by Tesla to move some cars.
GRANDE CALIFORNIA ETA Koper 30 Oct She is a Tesla charter and has 5000 Teslas onboard (724 MY, 4276 M3)
VIKING QUEEN is a Tesla charter and has arrived off Singapore. She has anchored in an area which would suggest she is waiting for a berth there, rather than it being a standard bunkering stop. We still don't know her final destination....
Update at 18:00 : she is now refuelling.
GRANDE ABIDJAN has now departed Shanghai South for Singapore (25 Oct). I am a bit puzzled by this ship (she's not big enough for a normal Tesla shipment) and so she may not be on Tesla business. We shall see what happens in Singapore...
RCC AMSTERDAM has now arrived at Shanghai South and I believe that she is a Tesla ship and hopefully our long awaited UK vessel. Let's hope WuWa does the business and videos the loading! If she is our UK ship I estimate an arrival in Southampton around 16 Nov.
RCC EUROPE is currently mid-Pacific and enroute to Shanghai South (still 2000 NM to go!) and I reckon she could arrive on Monday 24th.
GRAND RACE is enroute from Pier 80 to Pyeongtaek, S Korea ETA 28 Oct. She should then continue on to Taiwan.
I have yet to identify the ship that is due to arrive at Pier 80 this week, there are a quite a few to choose from......
As always I will add the ships to the map
here, so you can follow their progress.
The ship's positions are updated every few minutes via satellite. As I pointed out earlier GRANDE CALIFORNIA's destination is actually Suez but the mapping software uses whatever the ship is transmitting as its destination which in this case is Shantou and is clearly incorrect. Blame the ship!
