2023 Shipping Movements
- Thread starter Mr Miserable
- Start date
MORNING MARGARETA has now departed Shanghai South enroute to New Westminster, Canada. ETA should be 15 Jul.
Waiting offshore is GRANDE MIRAFIORI. It looks like she may be UK bound. Depending on when she departs I estimate she will arrive in Southampton around 30/31 Jul.
Over in Canada, VIKING SEA is leading a procession of ships heading for Vancouver - is the strike over?

Interestingly I have been given a collection date but have no official vin currently. Have a hidden vin which is different to the one I got previously.
Was offered any day after 9th Aug but the first date I can do is the 14th

the strike is not over but I assume it only effects cargo carrier and not vehicle carrier. Since cargos are required to use cranes to be taken off and cars are driven off, the cars are probably driven off the boat by Tesla workers rather than the port workers since port workers only deals with cargos I believe. I could be wrong and that the port workers are the ones who drives the cars off the boat but i lowkey think car companies have designated car unloaders unless they trust port workers to drive their cars off the boat for them.

The stevedores that drive the cars on/off car carriers are highly skilled at what they do. Tesla will contract a local agent to do this work.
There is no way they would work against a union.
GRANDE MIRAFIORI if it's UK bound, will probably be full of Model Ys right?

so do you think they will wait it out until the strike is over or will they just get an agent to unload it?

That anchor location by Victoria is usually for Border Customs. I assume the Border Police will be boarding and inspecting the ship tomorrow morning before they continue on since it's pretty late in the afternoon already

uh oh
B.C. port strike: Bargaining not going to produce collective agreement says employer | Globalnews.ca
One of the issues, according to the BCMEA is that ILWU is attempting to "aggressively" expand and redefine regular maintenance work which is beyond the agreement in place.
