Yeah so hopefully on a truck by Thursday they get it by Friday and I’m there Saturday!

Oh, per my edit to the original post, The vesselfinder.com website seems useless, and it’s still showing the Don Pasquale south of the Azores.

[Jackie Chiles]

Don Pasquale departed Halifax on 3/18/23 and should dock in NYC on 3/21 if not sooner. The ship left Halifax early, instead of 3/19 as previously anticipated.

That is great news!!! I am thinking I could get my car from the dealership by next Saturday the 25th here in NJ?

It appears as though the ship is parking at the autoport in Halifax to unload. Perhaps the previous stop was just waiting until the autoport became available for unloading? Like many i was hoping that it did start its journey to NY/NJ early this morning.

Or maybe it is just refueling???

[Jackie Chiles]

Damn. It was definitely out to sea and traveling at 10+ knots.

It was docked at a different spot before it departed briefly last night.

Sorry for the false alarm. This is frustrating.

Looks like still in Canada!

I should’ve figured it out from its first docking location that it was not a RoRo (ride on, ride off) dock.

But it’s there now, finally.

When I looked at the screen shot that bayridgeguy posted, memories of the 2016 delivery came back to me and the Theben carrier docked at the exact same location to unload before heading to NYC.

But I can’t wrap my head around all the maneuvering the Don Pasquale had to do dock twice at Halifax. Especially considering the tight quarters in that harbor and facing opposite directions.

Oh well. Let’s hope there’s not a delay.

Update! It’s schedule for the 21st to NYC! Let’s go!!!

[bayridgeguy]

Yup, ship status changed from moored to UUE(underway using engine) !!

[Jackie Chiles]

To continue my obsession and excitement over the smallest details. . .

. . . two tugs, the Atlantic Fir and the Atlantic Bear are alongside the Don Pasquale as if it’s getting ready to head out to NYC.

Hard to believe, but it is vaguely possible that my info on the Don Pasquale is incorrect. 🤣

[Jackie Chiles]

This website https://www.cruisingearth.com/port-t...x-nova-scotia/ shows the Don Pasquale as under steam and headed out of Halifax Harbor, having just passed McKnab Is.

[bayridgeguy]

Btw, Atlantic Sail (random cargo ship) is set to depart Halifax today and arrive in NYC tomorrow, any chance Don Pasquale also makes this distance in 1 day??

Confirmed, DP departed Nova Scotia and enroute to NY/NJ. 3/21 can’t come any sooner lol.

[Jackie Chiles]

The Don Pasquale is off of Nantucket steaming at about 30 KPH, and only about 225 miles from the Verrazano Bridge.

[FrankieNuo]

She’s almost here

Not sure how delayed the generic vessel trackers are as Fleetmon and Marine Traffic shows it’s very close to NY/NJ.

But as per the actual vessel website Don Pasquale, it shows it’s already there.
