25 May 23 Summary
DON PASQUALE Revised ETA Southampton 29 May. The good news is that although she will call first at the Eastern Docks she will move across to the Western Docks late on the 29th when I expect her Teslas to be unloaded. There is a suggestion that cars for Ireland may be offloaded in the Eastern Docks for crossloading. This assumes that there are cars for Ireland onboard in the first place, which we have no evidence of, however there is some merit to the use of Eastern Docks for that purpose. Having said that there seems to be a lot of baseless rumours being posted on the actual whereabouts of the Irish shipment. I have no idea except to say that the cars will most likely be shipped from Zeebrugge to Dublin on a KESS vessel and looking at the anticipated delivery dates that is at least a week away.
HOEGH SHANGHAI has finally arrived in Zeebrugge.
RCC COMPASS has now arrived in Taipei from Pier 80. Will she head to Shanghai next? or go home to S Korea?
SUNBELT SPIRIT Possibly heading for Southampton with an ETA of around 9 Jun
GRANDE CALIFORNIA ETA Zeebrugge on 16 Jun. (Routing via stops in Turkey & Italy)
GLOVIS SUNLIGHT ETA Barcelona 12 Jun
VIKING SEA ETA Vancouver 5 Jun
RCC AFRICA dep Pier 80 to Tianjin ETA 3 Jun
Of note, there are a number of ships arriving in Zeebrugge in the coming days that might have Teslas onboard:
NOCC OCEANIC ETA Zeebrugge 29 May
MORNING PEACE ETA Zeebrugge 1 Jun
MORNING LINDA ETA Zeebrugge 5 Jun
I believe we won't see any further departures from Shanghai to Southampton or Zeebrugge this quarter ie until Jul
HOEGH ASIA which arrives in Zeebrugge on 23 Jun is the final hope.
There is still time for departures to either Barcelona or Koper.
There is a probable MS/MX shipment to Southampton arr 16 Jun departing Baltimore on 5 Jun on HOEGH TARGET. If you have been given a VIN keep checking
HERE to see if your new LHD MS or MX is onboard. Don't forget to let me know!
