2020 Shipping Movements

The GLOVIS CAPTAIN has now picked up speed to 15 kts.
It means she won't enter the Atlantic until late tomorrow.
I reckon she is about 9 hours behind schedule at the moment which is easily regained over 10 days or so.
Let's hope she doesn't encounter any more bad weather enroute...
Forecast for the next week looks OK.
UPDATE> just looking at her position, it looks like she has been pushed about 25-30 miles off the desired track. A combination of both the wind and the sea hitting her broadside. She has plenty of searoom and so instead of fighting it, allowing a bit of a run might be the quickest way to exit this weather.

Fuel is generally not an issue with these things -they go months without refuelling. That's not suggesting they are in any way efficient - they are not, just that they carry lots and lots of fuel.
BTW they have 2 stroke engines. Not the sort you had on your moped though.

It’ll be like on the passenger ferries when the bloke walking towards you suddenly lurches sideways with his pint then vomits on the carpet and they have to bring out the hoover of shame.
I didn't lurch sideways if I recall correctly...
The San Francisco Port Schedule has just been updated .
It confirms all the future ship movements that I reported on Saturday but, wait for this, it has an additional ship!
The GRAND PEARL is due alongside on 14 Aug. She is a standard size Panamax carrier and has sneaked in below my radar - I certainly wasn’t expecting her. I have no idea where she could be heading to. Although I don’t recall seeing her name when I was trawling through various European port schedules on Friday, it’s not a name I’m familiar with and wouldn’t have been looking for it. I’m not going to have the time to repeat the searches this week and so we’ll just have to wait and see…
Having said that, the new schedule doesn't mention the GLOVIS STELLA, which is puzzling.....
Additionally the GRAND PEARL doesn't arrive in Canada until 14 Aug.
Mmmmm, perhaps we should forget about the GRAND PEARL....

The Tesla rep sent me a screen shot that shows my MX will be on Maersk Nijmegen but no date. Hopefully it is the August 22 boat.
The trouble with GLOVIS CAPTAIN is the more that I look at her course, the more I think she is heading for Kingston, Jamaica.
We shall see what tomorrow brings....
...when I've sobered up.

“My ship has been heading off course, it’s been all over the shop”
“Jamaica ?”
“No, it just seemed to do it without me realising”
Speed now increased for GLOVIS CAPTAIN, not sure what good looks like for course correction but maybe someone’s had too many sherbets.

The wayward GLOVIS CAPTAIN appears to be clear of any weather and is now swerving to avoid Jamaica as she piles on the speed, up to 19kts now, and heads into the Windward Passage.
It's not scheduled into Bremerhaven until 16 Aug then it's off to Hamburg, Southampton and then Antwerp before heading south. ETA Jebel Ali 14 Sep.
Meanwhile, back at Pier 80, things are moving...
RCC ASIA is preparing to head south to Panama. Her ETA for the canal is 18 Aug - which is fast.
On that basis ETA Zeebrugge 31 Aug.
..or could she be coming to Southampton?...
