More Uk-bound Ships?

[Mr Miserable]

The Glovis Prime headed west to the Far East (?) as some had correctly predicted.
The SFL Conductor continues to bimble up and down off the Californian coast but still looks like the next ship to load.
The Glovis Champion is scheduled to transit the Panama Canal during the morning of 2 August.
The Triumph Ace is in the North Atlantic heading for Zeebrugge arriving this Friday evening. (2/8)

I hope we get some more ships to watch soon as it'll take another few ships to meet all of the orders

I'm not sure WTF the SFL Conductor is even doing at this point.. the Pier 80 has been clear for hours now.

Apparently there are additional charges if it docks at the weekend. This implies there is nothing due for a while after so there is no rush to get it loaded

Although apparently it is moving again...

Having spent WAY TOO MUCH time on this thread, I'm thinking that with all of the newly-found shipping knowledge and experts held within it, we should just start our own freight company and start shipping M3s ourselves!

Suspect he's wrong there.. I can't see any deviation from its holding pattern. It's only travelling at 1.6 knots.

Looks like it is still in its holding patten. Plan looks like Sunday night arrival, Monday loading, out maybe by EOD Wednesday.

If I knew more about boats I'd understand why it went backwards and forwards rather than just sat there... seems rather wasteful of fuel.

Don't know about fuel, feels like my car is on a rowing boat.....

I now have a VIN in the source code

5YJ3F7EB5KF426XXX

Can any of the experts on here advise which ship I should be following?

I'm no expert, but that is a VIN from the "unexpected 400", originally reported by NHTSA on June 5th so had plenty of time to be on the Triumph Ace.

Has the VIN only just appeared or have you not checked for a while?

Only just found out how to check! I have a final invoice but also the advice:

"We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment."

June 5th doesn't make sense as I only ordered on Jul 10th. Unless it is a cancellation.

I'm pretty sure they don't make them to order, more like they match order configurations to already manufactured cars. This is likely the reason some rare combinations are being delayed. Or as you say, it's a cancellation that's been reassigned.

I assume since you only just found the VIN you have not been receiving the 'expect your car between 12th and 25th August' emails and text messages that others on the Triumph Ace have been getting? If not, don't worry too much, I haven't been getting them either but I've had verbal confirmation of those dates over the phone.

Correct, no emails or text messages.

Triumph Ace continues to make progress towards Zeebrugge
The attached shows her current position
Not long to go now...

You could post the un-annotated version and we could have a spot-the-ship competition

You could post the un-annotated version and we could have a spot-the-ship competition

You could donate your Model 3 as the Grand Prize

Since I have no idea when I'll get my model 3 that seems a little unfair on the prizewinner ...
