2023 Shipping Movements

[cata7007]

ASIAN CAPTAIN is on the way. Please figure it on the map

 

[JAMESHENRY1]

Do you know when will depart ASIAN CAPTAIN port of Shanghai ?View attachment 977207

So to summarize, we have:

GLOVIS COSMOS ETA Southampton 3 Oct.

CRYSTAL RAY ETA Zeebrugge around 17 Oct

DREAM DIVA ETA Vancouver around 6 Oct

ASIAN CAPTAIN ETA Izmir 18 Oct, KOPER 22 Oct

There is also a possibility that Teslas are being moved on GRANDE ROMA to Thailand (5 Oct) Ashdod (25 Oct) and Zeebrugge (5 Nov).
It's unusually busy for this phase of the quarter - it looks like it will be a bumper Q4!

ASIAN CAPTAIN ETA Izmir 18 Oct, KOPER 22 Oct
Can you tell me if this ship carries Tesla to Italy or can I hope it is Crystal Ray? Thank you

ASIAN CAPTAIN ETA Izmir 18 Oct, KOPER 22 Oct

It could be both, but Koper is almost 3 times nearer to Italy then Zeebrugge, so I'll bet on Asian Captain.

@m


Probably wrong but throwing it on your radar Mr M, Tulane is a Wallenius ship thats loaded somewhere in Shanghai and is also heading straight to Southampton just behind Glovis Cosmos. Don't know if Tesla have ever used Wallenius for shipping, its not a Volvo/Polestar shipment as they go into Bristol.

I am aware of TULANE however she is only docking in Southampton's Eastern Docks and so will not have any Teslas onboard.

 

[Mr Miserable]

So Glovis Cosmos is going to Antwerp or Southamtop ? This is the real question

The ship is heading for Southampton - there is no doubt about this.
What is being shown is a post-charter schedule which departs Antwerp on 14 Oct.

 

[Mr Miserable]

is glovis cosmos a late q3 boat or an unusually early q4 boat?

The latter.

 

[Badger54]

The latter.

And do we think she is carrying the last of the last Model 3?

 

[Mr Miserable]

It could be both, but Koper is almost 3 times nearer to Italy then Zeebrugge, so I'll bet on Asian Captain.

There is the possibility that GRANDE ROMA may have some Teslas for Italy onboard.
She arrives in Gioia Tauro on 28 Oct.
We have seen Grimaldi ships use this port before but I have never seen any evidence that they unloaded Teslas here.
There has been plenty of wishful thinking but no evidence!

 

[Mr Miserable]

And do we think she is carrying the last of the last Model 3?

I expect so.

 

[Kaluminat]

is it possible to put the other boats on the Tesla Ship Tracker ? please

 

[Mr Miserable]

You may find that CRYSTAL RAY's position freezes on the tracking map at some time in the next few days as she enters an area regarded by some as high risk. Ships operated by CRYSTAL RAY's company appear to have instructed their Master's to take a variety of security measures including to switch off their AIS transmitter when passing through high risk areas. They are usually switched back on once the ship is established in the Red Sea.
The term used to describe this behaviour is "going dark" and is usually the practice of sanction busting tankers or fishing boats fishing illegally. Bizarrely, switching off the AIS transmitter triggers alarms in all sorts of state electronic surveillance systems and actually draws attention to the ship. Bear in mind the threat in this case is from state sponsored paramilitaries rather then pirates.

But then no ship transports Model 3 to Italy?

Can you put ASIAN CAPTAIN on the map please ?

Koper (Capodistria) is literally on the border with Italy, a stone's throw from Trieste.

Considering that most Italian Stores are in North Italy, it makes sense to use Koper/Capodistria instead of Gioia Tauro that it's deep south

All the ships we are monitoring do not have a satellite transmitter, or if they do they do not make the data public. There are big holes in ship tracking, precisely because updated data does not arrive via radio. Furthermore, in some countries there is a lack of radio stations that receive ship signals on land.
If they publish the satellite data we will be able to follow them, as we follow the others.

 

[ZioGianni]

In Italy the latest orders give the delivery date 16/10 ->15/11.
It has decreased compared to the dates of those who purchased it in August: 21/10->20/11.

I hope that the cars arrive as soon as possible, but from what it seems the ship most likely to dock in Italy is the Asian Captain which unfortunately only left yesterday from Shanghai and will therefore arrive towards the end of October at the Capo d'Istria (Kope).

The only possibility we have is that the Cristal Ray will stop in some port in southern Europe, in which case it would be possible to receive the cars about ten days earlier.

Do we know if the cars on the Glovis Cosmos got a VIN assigned yet?

Odd that no VINs assigned yet, cleared Suez and nothing yet
