HERE to see a wonderful map of the world. Superimposed on it are the latest positions, updated via satellite, of confirmed Tesla ships.
Those ships are:
HOEGH ST PETERSBURG is not a Tesla charter but she arrived in Zeebrugge early this morning with 2000 MY from Shanghai.
GLOVIS COMPANION is heading for Southampton where she is aiming to arrive on 31 Aug. She will shortly pass through the Straits of Gibraltar. She is loaded primarily with MY. The Southampton port schedule confirms her arrival in the Western Docks on the afternoon of 31 Aug. She is not due to depart until midnight on 02 Sep which suggests to me that she will fully unload here, despite the fact that she is departing to Zeebrugge.
ASIAN VISION has arrived off Melbourne Australia and will dock early tomorrow morning.
GLOVIS CHALLENGE is bound for Barcelona where she is due to arrive on 09 Sep. Sea conditions are better than forecast at the moment and appear to be improving all the time. Hopefully she will be able to maintain speed throughout her crossing of the Arabian Sea.
GLOVIS SUNRISE is crossing the Bay of Bengal enroute to Suez. She will endure some choppy seas over the next 2 days and some heavy rain showers too. She is heading for Southampton and I would estimate she will arrive around 16 Sep.
Do enter the GLOVIS SUNRISE competition! It's free and just a bit of fun to make your wait a bit more interesting. Enter

PAGANELLA Is bound for Brisbane (03 Sep), Port Kembla (09 Sep) and Melbourne (13 Sep) and I expect her drop Teslas off at each port.
GLOVIS SUN is currently in the South China Sea enroute to her refuel stop off Singapore tomorrow. She looks to me to be a replacement vessel for GLOVIS CAPTAIN and if so should arrive in Zeebrugge around 19 Sep.
GLOVIS CRYSTAL is running 48 hrs behind GLOVIS SUN and will arrive for her refuel stop off Singapore on Wednesday. I think it fair to assume that she must be heading for an EU port probably either Koper or Barcelona around 16 Sep.
GLOVIS COURAGE has now departed Shanghai South and is heading for a refuel stop off Singapore. I expect she will be heading to mainland Europe and I also suspect that she is the final ship for Q3 to Europe.
Knowledge of precisely which ports GLOVIS SUN, CRYSTAL and COURAGE are heading to may not come until the ships depart Suez but hopefully by monitoring likely port schedules we will know earlier.
SWALLOW ACE is reported to have some Teslas onboard. If so, these will be unloaded in Zeebrugge around 02 Sep.
SUNRISE ACE is suspected of delivering Teslas to Singapore and is presently enroute to Barcelona (13 Sep) and eventually Zeebrugge on 21 Sep
I note that GLOVIS CAPTAIN is currently loading at the Haitong terminal but I very much doubt she is on Tesla business. I continue to monitor all shipping movements from Shanghai and Pier 80 even during the close season which I believe we have now entered.
