We now have 50 entries and so there remain plenty of likely squares still unchosen. Click the above link for instructions.
GRANDE ABIDJAN is enroute to Suez (7/11). 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. Could she be heading for Israel?? (Ashdod around 9 Nov?)
RCC AMSTERDAM ETA Koper 15 Nov. I know the 15 Nov date for Koper is correct but at her present rate she will arrive there days ahead of schedule. Could she be visiting another port prior to Koper? GRANDE CALIFORNIA arrived there early too without any known reason.
HYPERION RAY is enroute for Suez . Her final destination still remains unknown at present but almost certainly will be an EU port. (ETAs roughly KOP 17/11, BCN 18/11 or ZEE 21/11). (There is a suggestion that it will be Barcelona.)
CARRERA ETA Zeebrugge 25 Nov.
RCC EUROPE ETA Southampton 24 Nov.
HOEGH TRADER ETA Zeebrugge 30 Nov. She is yet to be confirmed as carrying Teslas but I think it is highly likely that she is.
HOEGH TROOPER should dock in Taicang tomorrow and I expect she may load some Teslas bound for Zeebrugge (10 Dec)
Tropical Storm Nalgae has weakened slightly as it crosses the Phillipines but it is still forecast to develop into a typhoon by Tuesday as it crosses the South China Sea. As a result of the storm the South China Sea is already pretty rough at the moment and as expected HOEGH TRADER is in no rush to head south at the moment. She looks as though she is planning to pass to the east of Taiwan and pass behind the storm.
GRAND RACE has departed Mokpo for Pyeongtaek. When she departed Pier 80 her AIS destination was originally Taipei, then it changed to Pyeongtaek and then it changed to Mokpo. On that basis perhaps her next stop will be Taipei.
NOBLE ACE is enroute to Taiwan (ETA 09 Nov) from Pier 80.
As always I will add the ships to the map
here, so you can follow their progress.
I think we may see at least one more ship to Southampton this quarter. At the moment I'm tipping MORNING CELLO (ETA Southampton 6 Dec) but that can still change. She should tip up at Shanghai South on Tuesday. Another shipment to the UK is still possible after her...
