Let's hope the rumors about the port workers not striking hold true. Otherwise, it's gonna take a very large raft and access to the vessel to get the M's off!
Seriously though, the way things have gone, would not surprise me at all. That would only add another month or 2, no big deal. |

https://blog.intekfreight-logistics....ts?hs_amp=true "While some issues that slowed supply chains beginning last year have eased, new ones keep popping up, with the looming cloud of a dockworker strike at U.S. west coast ports including Los Angeles and Long Beach on the horizon." German port workers went on a strike last week so I think we barely made it in time onto this one.. |

Orion Leader position June 30, just 30 minutes ago.
Ship travels roughly 400 nautical miles (460 miles) a day, right on track for a July 4 Panama Canal crossing!

Thank you zb! Ship in Mona Passage! I have 8 free tries left, so I will try to post position every 3 days or so, that will get me to July 24/25 arrival in Port Huemene. Weather predictions looks good on the course line, tropical storm exited Caribbean ahead of the ship.

From other threads it seems like 10-12 days from port to dealer.
So cool to see our cars move!! |

xxm thanks for the update. That looks strange. Speaking of my own experience transiting the Panama Canal numerous times, all ships have a designated slot to transit and if there is a need to wait for that, ships go at anchor just north of the entrance to the canal, where there is a huge anchorage. It could be this anchorage is full and the captain decided to go slow, but to go this slow is strange because you have limited steerage with that speed. My tracker says eta is July 5, 0600 local time at Cristobal. Looks like this is possible with the current position of the ship, which is roughly 335 nautical miles from Cristobal.

From it current position, its 21 hours away from Cristobal, correct me if I'm wrong ArnoPCB not really literate about maritime tracking. On this end it shows that it was supposed to be at the Canal at 11 AM this morning, but Arno got ETA as 5th. And as the bonus, I checked, when the cars would've been here if it didn't stop in South America first and it seems like they could've been here on 11th so the whole ordeal adds exactly 2 weeks to the timeline. Can't complain though at least we are on a ship and we are moving. Happy 4th everyone. |
