SFL Conductor - picks up speed:

Note that the 'nest' of cargo boats (green) near the mouth of the estuary are all bulk carriers - no car carriers amongst them. Also TradePoint BTW has no ships currently docked - open.

Not a Taycan owner, but my Cayman is on the SFL Conductor bound for Houston and you guys have the BEST information. (I really dig those Taycans, maybe one of the Texans on this list will give me a ride in theirs when it arrives!)

Yes it is! I am tracking both.

@yman182 looks like Cape Town Highway has some holiday spirit and will allow the Conductor to go first.

Hopefully they have a pilot and tug(s) scheduled.


Typically the cluster of ships near the mouth of the bay, tend to be destined for Newport News, Hampton Roads, or Norfolk. Some can be Navy support ships.

The cluster of ships south of the bay bridge off of Annapolis are destined for the port of Baltimore. Never see any car carriers sitting there, typically just freighters.

good rock fish fishing near the bridge.

Looks like it, but it has picked up speed from about 16kn overnight to about 18.5kn now.

SFL Conductor - Houston Customers Only

Well for those with too much time on their hands as apparently I have , and presuming a reasonable time of day, the Brady's Landing view point is no longer accessible as closed for construction - the alternate on the opposite bank of Braes is still accessible, perhaps not got as good a view of the berth but a great view for arrival. Again it will have to be a very slow day for me to trek out there !

As if @ciaranob will be focusing on anything else the day SFL Conductor docks in Houston....

Looks like she is about to head into sat tracking territory (assuming not already there):

You’ve inspired me to track the RCC Prestige more closely, especially in this race to arrive before EOY.
Here’s latest position:

 

[yman182]

CP Highway still on course at 18 knots.

SFL Conductor's Berth in Houston Dec 10

Pano view from the confluence of the Braes and Buffalo Bayous of docking area in the Turning Basin for SFL Conductor once it arrives in Houston, Dec. 10 - taken from the alternate viewpoint shared in post #936. The better Brady's Island view would have been under those trees the right, opposite bank.

The freighter here on left essentially in Conductor's assigned berth.

CP Highway still on course at 18 knots.

Conductor on there too Current speed between 16-17 knots.

I think at one point you mentioned there are two places for the ships to dock at Sparrow Point. I wonder if they will be sitting side by side soon!

Time for some wild optimism. My CT4 gets to Baltimore tonight, unloads tomorrow or Friday and gets to the dealer by 12/10.

Realism: TYD still shows “on vessel” at the time my SA calls to tell me it arrived

Someone else's comment but indeed might be the case (sat image way out of date so can't really tell!).
