CP Highway slowed down over night and is now traveling only 16.6kn. Hopefully the winds change and it can speed up a bit.

Cape Town Highway now scheduled to arrive in Baltimore before SFL Conductor.

For those of us in Texas, I’m following the Siem Cicero into Houston over the next 24 hrs to see how long it takes to dock and unload. Should be good indication of timing for the upcoming ships entering Houston the next couple weeks.

Was the Cicero anchored in the track strip that is red here and if so, simply as it was early or perhaps told to hold?

Ton of traffic still outboard of port - will be interesting to see if it (car carrier vs tanker) gets the green light to pass through!

Its notable that every single cargo (green) ship at anchor in the group outside of the port are either container or bulk carriers - the relatively low frequency of Car Carriers I am hoping will allow these ships to pass through to assigned berths (Bayport to Turning Basin) as effectively no competition for those berths other than perhaps very specific bulk carriers.

Route forecast puts her right along the open path through the presently anchored fleet into port:

It held in one spot overnight but looks to be on the move again now.

Makes room for us! I just want to get my car in December!! If TYD is right and I don’t get it until Jan 14th, I would be a sad panda.

My TYD changed today, too. Now shows my car on vessel but the delivery date moved back to 1/14. Obviously not as the ship is supposed to arrive in JAX on 12/10. Someone just reset it back to the old values. TYD is a good idea, but is not being updated often and correctly by Porsche. Hope you are listening Porsche.

Porsche is great with the automotive side but their IT department is most definitely leaving something to be desired!

SFL Conductor seems like it will beat CT Highway to Baltimore in general but who gets to go first or whatever is the TBD. I looked at Tradepoint Atlantic and it appears like they could accommodate 2 at once but I am no expert

Yep - liking this as it would seem our car carriers may have a free path!

Well I sure hope that MarineTrafic's present route forecast is wrong!!!!!

All that sailing in circles may have messed up our Skipper's head.

Well now looks like open ocean vs all the canals and rivers from earlier and pointed in the right direction!

If you look closely the path actually shows it returning to Canada doing another U-turn and starting the trip all over again back to Baltimore - Bizarre (obviously an error on MT).

If I believe this ETA of late evening Dec 1, we'll be anchored or doing donuts again in the bay/ocean waiting on the PWL scheduled berth (scheduled to be there Dec 3)!

Chugging’ along at 16 knots - fighting a cross wind.

CP Highway is still cruising along!

I believe the cargo ship icon just SE of the Fleetmon logo is the SFL Conductor
