Sunday 05 Mar 23 SUMMARY
A busy day in Zeebrugge for Tesla tomorrow with HOEGH OSLO and GLOVIS SUNRISE arriving and THAMES HIGHWAY departing to Dublin( Arr 08 Mar)

HOEGH CHIBA should arrive in Oslo later this evening with a load of Teslas onboard.

HOEGH OSLO ETA Zeebrugge Tomorrow. Model S/X onboard from Baltimore and 3/Y loaded in Barcelona for Zeebrugge. She then heads off to Oslo 11 Mar.

GLOVIS SUNRISE ETA Zeebrugge Tomorrow. No Southampton call.

GLOVIS SUMMIT ETA Barcelona 07 Mar. This is a day earlier than scheduled on the port arrivals board.

GRAND RUBY ETA Koper on 10 Mar.

GRANDE NEW JERSEY ETA Southampton 14 Mar. She should transit the Suez Canal tomorrow.

GRAND HERO Her destination still remains unconfirmed for the moment but it looks highly likely to be Koper on 13 Mar.

DREAM ORCHID ETA Southampton ETA 19 Mar and Zeebrugge 22 Mar.

YU HENG XIAN FENG ETA Jebel Ali (Dubai) 10 Mar.

Chang Da Long has just departed Shanghai South to Thailand (13 Mar). This is the 2nd run she has done in the last month and I suspect she will have some Teslas onboard, although having said that, I didn't find any evidence that she had some onboard her first run. I note the latest WuWa video observed some RHD cars parked in the compound waiting for a ship - this could be it.

GOLD XING has arrived in Taiwan with Berlin-built MYs onboard.


Not every ship departing Shanghai South will definitely be carrying Teslas and it may take some time to rule out any 'non-players.' At the moment the only suspect ship remaining is DREAM ORCHID. We shall have to see where she plans to dock in Southampton to see if that rules her out.

You can follow the ships on this map. It is quite unique in that it is updated with the latest data available including satellite data, unlike others on the internet with 'periodic' updates.

Whilst we have seen cars move by train to Sweden in the past I think we are now looking for shipments from Zeebrugge to Malmo by sea.
AUTO ECO might be worth keeping an eye on.
 
Dream Orchid with cars for Dublin? Tesla are ADAMANT there are more coming to Ireland and they'll be pushing for March delivery.
Who in Tesla was adamant? Was it the team in Sandyford or Cork? There have been other posts saying that Tesla have advised that if you don’t have a VIN at this stage March is a non-runner. There is also mixed messaging, again from Tesla, as to whether or not there will be a Q2 delivery to Ireland, or if it will need to wait until the September delivery. Maybe everyone is right!

A previous post on here said that VINS are assigned well before Suez, normally around Singapore refuelling. Would anyone on here know if this has always been the case? Probably no way of telling if Dream Orchid has any Ireland-bound teslas without a VIN.
 
Manchester, looks like its going to be pushed back a week though can't see any other boats entering Southampton earlier.

On that note though I have had a prepare for delivery watch these videos text from Tesla this morning, not sure when that usually happens but assume during Suez?
I may be similar, have my VIN and collection scheduled for AM on 17th March, have been told multiple times that the car was due in the country on the 16th March so I assumed it was on Grande New Jersey.

Really hope this is still the case as have a road trip due to start on Friday 17th evening and I am going abroad the following week :/
