Anyone familiar with the inner-workings of cargo ships? Was tracking the "Figaro" to the pick up port, but it has been doing circles outside the port for hours.



Does holding patterns exist for ships entering ports? If so, why not just stop? It's not like they'd fall out of the sky?

She is waiting to enter Zeebrugge. But that doesn't explain why she hasn't dropped anchor to wait. After all, she is next to several anchored ships (the light blue squares). Maybe the sea is a bit bouncy and so to protect your precious cargo she is staying underway rather than bounce around at anchor.

Ahh that makes sense. She is experiencing 40kn winds, could very well explain the strange behaviour

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I love the ship tracking, mine is on the Thermopylae and it is fun to check it every few days

I've read back through this thread a few pages but I can only realistically go so far. Can anyone give me a ball park figure regarding estimated delivery times for a GTI (with PP) and an R from the date of order?

I ask because I sort of need to time (+/- a month or so) the delivery of my potential Golf with the release of my existing car. I more or less know exactly when my current car will be leaving me, but I don't want to wait until a month before so to order my Golf and then find I'm waiting 6 months for it. Won't be the end of the world, but it would be a pain in my back side. If I know roughly how long I will need to wait then I can order ahead of time.

Any info very much appreciated.

Cheers,
