Canada Waiting Room

[604_Dialect]

At 0300, it's scheduled to depart from it's current position in Kulleet Bay and make it's way over to Sand Heads, which is another anchor point just outside of Richmond.

At 0830, it'll depart from there and head into the Richmond Auto Terminal (formerly known as Fraser Wharves, according to the Port of Vancouver)

That's how I understand things, anyway. It lines up with 604_Dialect's post earlier where he thinks the afternoon shift might be unloading it.

This would be my best guess.

Bruh, of course there is. But it takes a long time to move a huge-arse boat, get it moored safely, etc. before it can unload

really? It takes 8 whole hours to do that?

 

[604_Dialect]

The dayshift starts at 8am, and the ship won't be there by then, so they won't order a morning crew.

Well, a couple hours for sure - by the time you bring the ship in, navigate it along the river, get it to just the right spot on the pier and get it tied down.

And like 604_Dialect just said, when the shift starts, they already have their tasks all lined up for the day.

But again, these things can always change...

Exactly, everything is subject to change, and due to the situation, I bet there is a lot of organizing about when to bring in each ship right now.

so when the cars are unloaded, do they get loaded onto the trucks or are they just gonna drop the cars at the dock and wait for trucks to pick them up? And do the cars go straight to the Tesla stores right after unloading?

Theres only 4 ships to bring in right now though lol. The rest are still on their way to Vancouver or diverted to Seattle

UPDATE: the VIKING SEA just got dispatched for 9pm tonight and order to the Port at 3am. I guess they're 6 hours ahead of schedule now

That's just car ships, there are also cruise ships, container ships, tankers, bulk carriers and such to bring in/out too. Only so many harbour pilots and tugboats available at the same time, and also you need room in the waterways to navigate them.

I'm desperate for the car. I'm renting a car right now and ICBC is only covering it until Wednesday. After that I have to pay like $100 per day for renting

Can I just say, you're a hero for putting up with our excitement and all of our questions, lol

my EDD kept changing back by 1 day for every single day that the strike went on.

 

[andrew_nguyen_]

mannn why are they unloading it on the Richmond port and not on Annacis instead? Annacis would be right in the middle of the Richmond and Langley tesla store

Yeah, since you're in Vancouver, you might have hope of being able to pick up your car next week. For local vehicles, I assume they'll have car carriers pick up those vehicles, but I have no idea if they'll have trucks ready and waiting. In theory, it would make sense to get them out of there as quickly as possible, because the next ship arriving will also be carrying a large load of vehicles.

In your case, maybe call your SA tomorrow afternoon and see if they have an update for you.

Hahaha no worries. But as someone commented before, looks like it's being brought in earlier now, good news for you all!
