Tijuca is now anchored by Southampton port and going based on below schedule it looks like it will be be docked for loading/unloading from Oct 11th until 12th.

Once it starts sailing on 12th then I was hoping it will be between 8 to 10 days to reach Baltimore (as what my SA told me few weeks back) but going based on the previous ship (Tugela thats from the same cargo company and similar specs but not sure if these two vessels have the same nautical speed capacity though) that was carrying rovers, I see it could be between 15+ days. Tugela started sailing on Sep 9th from southampton and reached Baltimore on 25th. There is also another port (Dundalk) thats close to Baltimore and this is in the port call log. 2 days (23rd until 25) there and then Baltimore (25 to 27).

So if I go based on previous ship sailing time then Tijuca will be in Baltimore on ~25th Oct, couple of days to unload and then another couple of days to make it to the dealer. Once it reaches dealer then its a 6 hour turn around time in my case (they do a minor program check, drive 6 miles for testing basics and then a final basic prep for exterior and interior).

But I also see Tiranna had a sail time of 10 to 12 days to Baltimore - https://www.myshiptracking.com/vesse...59895000-imo-0

So still end of the month but given port situation in Baltimore and other uncertainties (given the track record) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for end of the month

It has not left yet but scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on 10/22

No, that’s Tasmin Blue (maybe a little dusty!). The A frame bumper bar and extended arches were added at the port at my request. They weren’t available on the build with the extended black gloss trim selected, but just took an email request to get it done.

Meaning you didn't get them at all? If not, will you receive them at some point?
