Its delivered to North America ports from Zeebrugge and its next delivery is to Auckland (12 Aug) then Brisbane 16th Aug. Thats why passage through the Panama. I always though its delivery to Auckland before Brisbane was odd.

Likely quicker than any ship going to Brisbane via Port of Melbourne... presently 3 or so Ro-Ros and many others sailing in circles outside the port for days on end..
Delivery for you around mid/end September then Les?
Yep, wish mine was able to skip Melbourne. Figaro, Tortugas and Thermopylae, all with Grenadiers onboard are all floating around at seas for days off MelbourneLikely quicker than any ship going to Brisbane via Port of Melbourne... presently 3 or so Ro-Ros and many others sailing in circles outside the port for days on end..
The hunch power is strong!
Tazzieman I actually have a couple of proper "point the bone" bones in my collection given to me by an old Warlpiri feather-foot man ... now long since gone.
Yes I guess in Sept sometime.....before the Barra season comes into play and closes and they all turn into Hump Back Salmon
Hopefully our spells collide, and we take delivery on the same day in September!
By my count there are something like 14 roro vehicle carriers anchored off Melbourne for days waiting to unload, my port date has already slipped by close to 2 weeks since the ship left Zeebrugge 100% due to Port of Melbourne and looks like it is going to sit there for at least another week. What a shitshow Port of Melbourne has become.
You could probably say that about all of Victoria really…. And yes I am Victorian.
Brisbane is just the same, the blame is often attributed to quarantine causing a backlog but who would know. I wonder what the cost per day being anchored up is? The crew must be bored out of their minds!
Apparently somewhere between $30,000 and $150,000 per day depending on the ship.
There is also one on Facebook marketplace for a more realistic $133k
My typing fingers have just gone numb and I've lost the power of speech. Oh f.....
It's an embarrassing problem in Aussie ... I've watched Tortugas arrive and leave several ports in France, UK and South Africa without any delays, but in Australia it is sitting there, we obviously have a problem that needs to be fixed.
Has to have an impact on prices, car companies (and other goods) and shipping companies can’t just endlessly absorb those costs.
To be honest IF it is quarantine, I'm OK with that.
Even if it is quarantine, we have had this problem for a couple of years now, should be enough time to a) put in place the resources and systems to streamline it. And b) allow shipping companies to accurately forecast their dates and schedules so as to avoid this.
