It's nearly as exciting as the Melbourne Cup

[spaz74]

I sit here excited for you guys as I think about what could have been. Since my delivery was for Melbourne I should have had my car in just a few days rather than a build week more than 3 months from now.......

There she is at 4 pm 1/11/2010,the "Otello" to the right of the now defunct "wave generator" the "MV Singa Ace" is in docked and unloading, so due to congestion in Pt. Kembla harbour probably waiting for her to leave.

I really hope the car is under cover at the moment... theres hail around

i don't think the ship has even docked yet!!
this bad is weather is delaying singa ace, and in effect also preventing the otello from docking!!

as KIWI mentioned before, i highly doubt they'll b offloading, let alone attempt to dock in such horrendous weather!!

guess we just got wait this weather out

[dArK5HaD0w]

phew.....looks like she did dock at 15:00 as planned!!
according to wws tracking, my baby was "discharged" at 15:50pm!!
woOot woOot!!


intially i got confused when i checked marinetraffic 1st......according to marinetraffic, its now bound for brisbane, yet the last known port still remains as "melbourne"!!!!
did the captain decide - "that's it, i can't wait any longer for this bad weather!! i'm off!!!"



now we wait for patricks to do their magic

She certainly wasn t docked at 1500, I was down at Pt. Kembla at 1600 and she was still waiting out at sea for a dock.

Sorry Guys... all wrong.. she docked about 7am and was heading to Bris by 1400...
Mate of mine works for PortKembla Ports, and they got Otello in and out before that nasty weather hit. Should be getting some pics of the Skoda offload today to post im hoping.

Pretty much turns out unless there's a hurricane or 5meter swells nothing stops the shipping of that size any more. Seems the IT/Tracking of the ships lacks a bit to be desired for accuracy thats all.

Touch wood there are no late scratchings!

I'm jealous of course, especially of CanberravRS...but they are all nice cars.

Thanks for that Gaz i did have a little chuckle when i read your post.

No scratches allowed on this Melbourne Cup we hope.

ah ok. so the original "5am" was close to the mark.
yes, looks like the ship tracking systems went all haywire as soon as it pulled into port kembla!!!
