Update on Glovis Century
Canadian Armed Forces members unload military vehicles from Glovis Century in Setubal, Portugal as part of TRIDENT JUNCTURE 2015 and JOINTEX15, 7 October 2015. The vehicles were loaded in Montreal, and the ship left part of its cargo on pier 9 so it had enough draft to make the run to Montreal.
Glovis Century ties up at pier 9 – and unloads cars
In what I believe is a first, a Pure Car/Truck Carrier has tied up at pier 9. The Glovis Century arrived, rotated 180 degrees and tied up. She is likely unloading project cargo or heavy equipment.
Autoport is occupied as is pier 29/30 where car carriers normally tie up.
UPDATE: Looks like she was unloading Cars. No word on how they are moving off the pier – The On dock rail is blocked by parked cars, so they are either being trucked or Driven off.
She sailed Sunday Night.
Update 09/28: She returned to pier 9 this morning to re-load the cars she left behind.
Tied up in Eastern Passage.
Yesterday brought the Car Carrier Suzuka Express. Operated by Vroon of the Netherlands, she was built in 2010 in Japan. Shes rated at just over 3900 cars, on 10 decks.
Torm Ragnhild also arrived yesterday. She anchored for Gypsy moth inspection, then moved to Imperial Oil to offload.
Shuffling Car carriers
The Grand Ruby spent part of the day at ancor in the inner harbour. The PCTC Electra occupied the birth at autoport for most of the day. By 1700 Electra had moved to pier 30, allowing grand ruby to take her place.
Sunlight ace at anchor under the clouds
The pure car truck carrier sunlight ace dropped the anchor at the inner anchorage today. Ot is Odd she did not go directly to autoport as there is currently nothing else tied up there.
UPDATE: CFIA Gypsy Moth Inspection. She moved to Autoport late in the afternoon.
Harmony Leader sails for Newark
Your BMW might be awhile – Autoport Iced up
Ice has a history of affecting shipping, though this time its terrestrial based ice. The recent snow/rain/freeze weather events that have turned city streets to ice have also frozen cars into autoport. the ice cant be chipped away for fear of damaging the vehicles, so thousands of cars will remain until the ice melts.
this is causing Autoport to use temporary storage in Shearwater, and increasing the time it takes to turnaround ships, in one case, a car carrier bypassed Halifax and moved on to New York ather waiting at anchor 24hours for the previous vessel to move.
Autoport exports vehicles to Newfoundland, and is also the import location for almost all vehicles coming from Europe to Canada.
