Just trying to do some calculations…in Q2, MORNING PEACE arrived in Southampton as late as 27th June for quarter end of 30th. It appears estimated journey time from Shanghai to Southampton is about 25 days (using GLOVIS COMPANION as an example: departing Shaghai 6th August and arriving Southampton 1st September). So for those of us hoping for another UK ship with cars for Q3, we have until 1st/2nd ish of September until it’s logistically too late. And GLOVIS COMPANION VINs were most likely the ones assigned on 9th August, which is 3 days after departing Shanghai. So bottom line is: those of us still waiting should know whether or not we are getting our cars this quarter by 4th/5th September ish. i.e. if a ship hasn’t left by 1st/2nd September and/or we havent got a VIN by 5th September then most likely it will be next Q for us. So I guess it’s only about 3 more weeks of waiting
But I note the optimism from Mr M of another UK ship (or two!) and theres still plenty of time, so here’s hoping!
