xraydoc Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I received an email from someone at the factory with updated shipping info on my KK. I think it means that it is on a ship named "Nordlion". I am sure there is more information to be found, but I think need an experts help. @bosco? You seem to be the resident expert in tracking down container ships. Any words of advice? Below is the text of the email. Status Cargo / BL# SLGBHL0602 = NORDLION 133 // Re: Shipping Instruction HALUS For FCL 1x40 HC to Long Beach , CA US Stuffing On Friday, June 24, 2016 cargo has been loaded to m/v as per schedule, but there any update re ATD Sin & adjustment on ETA Lax ya Bu..pls find asf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xraydoc Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Ok. Spending time at work researching shipping lines instead of actually working.... I know everyone will find that hard to believe. Best I can tell, HALUS and NORDLION are container ships. My KK is on a 1x40 High Cube Container, headed to Long beach. IT is leaving through Sin - Singapore. Unfortunately, I cannot tie either of those ships to Singapore. It look like Dennis uses the PIL shipping lines. Great website listing all of their routes etc. But again the Halus does not fit in as I can tell. The NORDLION belongs to a different shipping company I think... If you can't tell, I am obsessing. Not much real work getting done.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 From what I can see, Nordlion vessel shipping schedule 133 was picked up from Surabaya on June 25th and shipped to Singapore on June 26th That looks like a feeder ship. Halus is also a feeder ship, I just can't seem to find its schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosco Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 that feeder ship Halus appears to be a bit of a red herring for me. There should be a mother ship listed eventually. You do not get that info until your item is on the ship. From what I can see, Singapore to Los Angeles and Long Beach runs on the Pacific route SE3 South East Asia 3 run from Singapore to Laem Chabang Thailand to Yantian China. (Halus was in the area of Thailand so I wonder if your package was loaded on two boats from Malaysia to Singapore then from Singapore to Thailand) From Yantian China the route hits Los Angeles CA Based on that schedule, I checked OOCL sailing schedule for the SE3 route The Mother Ships leaving around that time frame are the following July 1st NYK ARTEMIS 088E arrival July 26th Long Beach July 7th NYK THESEUS 040E arrival August 2nd Long Beach July 13th HANJIN DALLAS 0076E arrival August 4th Long Beach July 19th HANGIN SEATTLE 0029E arrival August 14th Long Beach Based on the fact that I can not find a schedule for Halus, and the email you received said it was loaded on the vessel, I am taking a guess that your package is going to be on the HANJIN DALLAS boat following the SE3 route to Long Beach CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosco Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Lol very true. A lot of these members ordered straight from the warehouse with fairly simple deliveries. We are in a league of our own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xraydoc Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) @bosco I love your enthusiasm. I must say I geek out on it too. I couldn't figure out which day the Nordlion left Surabaya and arrived in Singapore on schedule 133, so I built a quick spreadsheet and ran a regression to extrapolate the dates based upon future scheduled transit times. The Halus thing really through me for a loop. In case anyone is interested, there is a ship named the Kota Halus scheduled to arrive in Chittagong any day now. It is registered under a Singapore flag further confusing matters. Edited July 14, 2016 by xraydoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 there is also a ship name Halus which complicated it for me even further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ora Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Love it I just had a quick look the nordlion is heading back to Surabaya without the actual name of the forwarding cargo boat it's like finding a needle in a haystack Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
