ETA for Mooron
 
A lot depends on the type of ship.
Is this a Car carrier, container, or breakbulk ship?
Speeds could vary, anywhere from 16 - 26 k
Is it making any stops prior to Halifax?

What Shen gave you is probably a good starting point, and as he said,
check the port web site, if they give ETA's

Didn't find ETA's just current ships in port and their locations. I'll keep
an eye out for the ship. I don't have any idea as to it's scheduled stops. I
don't know what type of ship it is either... but the cargo is a 29 Bayfield
sailboat on a cradle. I'm arranging for it's transportation on arrival to
storage for a buddy of mine. It's called the Argonau and is sailing Saturday
Nov. 8th from Lisbon. Ill check again on the 15th.

Thanx for the info... now I just hope to gawd they keep the bridge manned
this trip. Let's face it... if they lose the sail boat like they do
containers... this one at least will float as opposed to becoming a hazard
to navigation! :-)

For a Master you sure act ignorant sometimes.

The whereabouts of all ships is known to the mile, and hour.
They are all in contact via electronic means. It's not like
they leave port and nobody knows where they are until
they show up in another port as was often the case in
the age of sail.

Why not contact the freight company and get some
valid position reports instead of speculating?

Bwahahahahahahahaaa.... You're friggin kiddin' me right??!!!

There's over a hundred shipping lines here. Who handles the boat? Where is
it registered? Get a grip! If you don't have the shipping documents it's a
best guess.

It's just like you to over-complicate something simple Simon... and fail to
see the logic of the obvious!

When I want info on shipping I'll ask Shen or otnmbrd... If I want an
example of how not to do colour selection for a boat, I'll ask you!.

Well Duh!!! Of Course! But then I have a weighbill number and can track it.
Try to think things through Simon... act don't react.

You are without doubt colour blind throughout the entire spectrum. Do you
have trouble with flashing reds & greens?

My color vision is normal, thank you. Some people need
to take a simple lamp test to pass the color vision test
the Coast Guard requires for their licenses but I can
see the right colors in those dot pictures. I'm perfect.

Recheck the spelling of the ship name, I couldn't find it in Lloyds
register. Next step, ask your friend for the name of the agent (he
should have it) and contact them for updates. One other possibility, is
to check with Customs, as they will have to handle the boat, as well as
the ship.
At one time I had a tracer program, but can't find it ...also, if you
can find the owner/operator of the ship, check for a web page which
might list their ship positions.

G We're not there yet, Neal, although AIS should help close that gap.
Most ships, still work under a 24hr reporting schedule, until they get
within 48hrs or are queried by agents.
Contact the freight company? whatsa freight company?
