Change of Import Port

Why are vessels due to dock at Portbury docking at Southampton instead?

Available berth? 

Congestion on the dock?

The Jap ships come into Portbury the Yaris GR and Rav come in via portbury

I noticed that yesterday this is a ship that has some Toyotas onboard but it docked at Southampton strangely.

What made you think that it was due to dock in Portbury?

The info you posted shows that this vessel docked in Southampton on its way to Zeebrugge, and also that it hasn't come from Japan - to be more precise, it was in Australia in August / October last year, visited Singapore in November before coming through the Suez Canal in December and visiting Livorno (Italy) on it's way to Southampton ...

I have been tracking a number of car carrying vessels that docked at Nagoya to load Toyota cars. Cepheus Leader was destined for Portbury but when it reached Lands End it changed course and it’s destination to Southampton. Two more carriers are on there way, Galveston Highway and Iguazu Leader, both loaded in Nagoya and after various stops to unload both were due to dock at Portbury. Their destinations have both now changed to Southampton. These ship also appeared on Portbury Dock arrival lists until they changed to Southampton.

From the yarris forum they spoke to dealers to confirm cars had been on this ship. It’s also possible that my car is on this ship aswell.
