Glovis Companion - for those that are currently on the Glovis Companion from Emden to the West Coast, it has reached the Panama Canal - Gatun Locks (Atlantic entrance). It had a stop in Santa Marta Columbia, and is now entering the canal. There are live webcams for the canal locks - here is a live shot that was from 6:30
AM PST (3/29/24). It should reach its first stop in San Diego around 4/7/24.
How cool, do we know when this ship will reach SD? I have two cars on two different boats heading to the US haha.
Glovis Companion is in the Panama Canal
Glovis Cosmos is in the Carribean, south of Jamaica
King Quest is in the middle of the Atlantic
Jiuyang Blossom is heading out of the English Channel
Cepheus Leader is docked outside Emden. I swear I missed my calling, I should've gone into logistics
Interesting the Marine Traffic mobile app shows King Quest as off the coast of Spain, just south of Lisbon, heading to Casablanca... I wonder which one is right, middle of the Atlantic, or off the coast of Spain, south of Lisbon...
Reading left to right in my image above.
King Quest
Summer Leader
Jiuyang Blossom (ship with my 911T, full disclosure of course)
Cepheus Leader
We should probably keep updating the summary list of all west coast ships and dates of next stop. Here is what the Maritime Traffic mobile app shows as if right now 3/29 @ 1045am Pacific.
Glovis Companion > Panama Canal [PA] on 3/29
Glovis Cosmos > Brunswick [US] 3/30
Kings Quest > Cristobal [PA] on 4/6
Summer Leader > Cristobal [PA] on 4/9
Jiuyang Blossom > Santa Marta [CO] 4/10
Cepheus Leader > Neue Weser Anch [DE] 3/29
The mobile app only allows you to create a "My Fleet" with no more than five vessels.

Middle of Atlantic is the real one... off the coast of Spain was the last free reading 4 days ago. Do you have satellite upgrade on your computer? I know when I do tracking upgrades it's only on the one I paid on... so for me it's the mobile app.

I have satellite traffic turned on for King Quest. Once the ship moves so far away from shore, Marinetraffic stops showing map updates until the ship comes close to shore again (AIS tracking) unless you pay extra for satellite tracking.

good point. I didn't notice that it said 4d 11 hours ago unless you purchase the Satellite data, but that is $1/day which is a little excessive for me... The $10/year is perfectly fine for me and I can wait until the ships arrive near the east coast or South America ports to get more data 😀

Thank you for posting the pic! My car is on the Companion!!!!
Jiuyang is finally out in the open waters of the Atlantic. Let’s wish it safe and speedy trip. I hope a strong current pushes it along to Santa Marta ahead of schedule….

Appreciate the pic. Just found this West Coast thread from the general one in the 992 forum. My S is on this ship as well. According to my SA, it is currently due to the dealer 4/19, but TYD shows dates for steps 9, 10 and 11 "unavailable".

I’m on the Companion as well. It’s a bit ahead of schedule and looks like an ETA of 4/6 in San Diego. My dealer SA (in Southern California) also said 4/19, possibly a few days earlier. This is about a week ahead of the original projected dealer arrival.
