Yeah so at least 2 months to unload and pass….. seems a bit extreme.

In related news, the Hoegh Trooper "was at berth on Saturday evening (18 February) when a fire broke out in the engine room."

Looks like its still docked Ship HOEGH TROOPER (Vehicles Carrier) Registered in Norway - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 9075711, MMSI 257714000, Call Sign LAKQ7

Wonder how long its going to be there and if its causing more delays? The Hoegh Asia was supposed to dock on 23/03 but is still sitting outside the bay.

WOW, that sucks. Looks like Hoegh Traveller with my T-Roc R is just off Wollongong waiting to go into Port Kembla.

In todays Courier Mail is an article that says there are 1900 new cars infected by Stink Bugs in Brisbane and are having to be deloused therefore holding up delivery. Could be weeks before they are done. Also 7 ships are waiting off shore Doesnt say if they are Car carriers though

Yeah, well over 150 VWs amongst that I have heard. Hopefully my T-Roc will get through relatively quickly, it was only delayed at the shipping port for about a week and a half before shipping.

Incidentally, I have Suzuki Jimny in quarantine in Melbourne at the port. It's now well overdue delivery date wise but at least it's finally on Australian soil.
Further to Melbourne, I read yesterday that they are offloading 3000 cars a day, but only clearing them through quarantine at 9 cars per hour ...

After 2 weeks waiting outside Port Kembla, Hoegh Traveller finally docked yesterday. Should be on its way to Brisbane late today/tomorrow, which means 2 weeks extra before I get
