I see the Viking Adventure has put to sea again. Either they had the "A" team offloading, or there wern't that many vehicles on board. (Hoping it's the first option)

Fingers crossed it was swift workers ?

I've no expectation for my car to be here yet, but it'd be nice to see at least some LR getting delivered in decent numbers.

I don't think it has docked yet, the tracking shows that it is still due at Bristol...

Maybe delayed docking for some reason...

We are all doomed.

Uh?
Sake of argument price to dealer is £25k.
Pre grant they sold it for 31k, so 8.5k profit (6 + 2.5k grant).
They now sell it for 33.5k, a cancelled order doesn't qualify to get the grant. Still 8.5k profit.

Prices rounded, taken from carwow and mg site.

I don’t get how this work, do the gov pay dealers the grant or do they pay manufacturers?

Confirmation she hasn't docked yet...

 

[Gadget Geek]

I hope she's not sailing under a Russian flag. If so, that consignment is buggered.

She's sailing under a flag of The Marshall Islands. It turned around in the mouth of the Bristol Channel, slowed, turned back towards Bristol and then turned away again. I wonder what's going on?

Flag = Marshall Islands ?

 

[Gadget Geek]

If you zoom in on Portbury docks, it looks like all the berths are full. I wonder if it's in a holding position until a berth becomes available?

The Marshall Islands flagged SCF Le Perouse, operated by leading Russian shipping group Sovcomflot (FLOT.MM),

It not just the flag they look at

 

[N2STY]

Let's see if they let EMERALD Leader in

Could be tide related

Could be tide related

I don't think so. It's a deepwater dock and I believe it has low tide access. Anyone know for sure?

 

[nwarddrfc]

If you look at the tide times low tide was at 04.35 maybe too low the the high tide is this afternoon maybe it will come in later
