I’d be interested to know what the draught is when its completely empty. I don’t imagine we ship too much to china other than raw materials and a RORO ship wouldn’t be much use for that. Can’t imagine there would have been much on board when she arrived in Shanghai.The draught variation of Turandot in Pyeongtaek might give us some insight overnight. If she offloads everything, we're boned. If there's a slight variation, then whatever was loaded in Shanghai is largely still there. If she goes way down and then back up then it's who knows. Could be unloading aforementioned chinese forklifts.Draught was at 7.6m when she pulled into Shanghai and went to 9.2m. No idea what was already aboard from her last stop in Port Kembla. But we don't make cars, so... And they probably loaded more than just Teslas in Shanghai. Hoping it only goes down slightly.

I'm using MarineTraffic and bought a subscription. It's on the 'Voyage' card and the 'Timeline' card. I am largely using the timeline to see the chronological variation of draught (so you can see if it goes down, or goes up, or goes down then up). In Shanghai it just went up. No down.
Also it should be mentioned that Turandot's max draught is 9.52m. So she's not maxxed out at 9.2. And .3m is a significant portion of that 1.6m variation that happened in Shanghai. Whether they keep it under max for safety is a question for a seaman. THEN there's probably the issue of ballast. But discussions i have seen said that ballast doesn't factor hugely because nobody wants to pay to carry extra weight if they don't have to. Again, question for a seaman.
We have a responsibly to ensure the people get what they need!

True. Before the race, all Nov orders should be ceremoniously delivered. On forklifts.
Don't mind me amusing myself to offset the unknown and uncertainty...
I did some back of the envelope calcs, she's 200m long, 32m wide, and the change in draught in Shanghai was 1.6m. So the change in displacement is something like 10,000 tons.
At 2 tons per car, ~5000cars, that's a full load based on her 5800 RT 43 capacity.

Nice!! That's some maths i can get behind! You can have a forklift.
Turandot enroute to our territory docked today at Korea Pyeongtaek. alongside no less that 6 other ROROs. clearly there is much movement in the auto world atm.
Hi, Plenti just sent me a renewal for my loan approval, and got the new 3.99%. Thinking of Macquarie which still have 2.99% - I can't find it on their website but does Macquarie allow early termination for the loan or is there a fee? Anyone using them know?
I am planning to call them tomorrow, but thought I'd ask in this forum. Also keen to see other's experiences with them.
Thanks All.

Don't know.. It looks like the 9.2m retrospectively updated to 9.3m for the entire timeline since Shanghai. More time needed perhaps.
Macquarie said to me there are no upfront fees but there is an early repayment fee of some magnitude to compensate for lost interest. I haven't seen formal loan docs yet though because my delivery is a long way away.
Actually, scratch that. The draught did change by 0.1m. 3 hours ago.
MarineTraffic appears to be on the fritz. Has updated some data and not updated other data. I got this data list from myshiptracking.

Mine was 23/1. Estimated 14- 20 weeks and currently into week 16 (but who's counting) Blue/Black RWD
