NYKU8210506 The BBC Box - possible vessel

As I mentioned yesterday, the BBC box, NYKU8210506, was moved to the shipper for loading on Nov. 12.

It is back to the terminal as of Nov. 14th. (The BBC site still shows it is loaded with Whisky, which was the cargo it arrived with in China.)

Assuming the container is bound for Los Angles (it is clothing), the next vessel is the OOCL Southampton, Voyage 11, sailing Nov. 16th. According to the NYK schedule, if it is bound for New York it would load on this same vessel, but then travel overland (called intermodal) for final destination New York.

Actually it would arrive in New Jersey at a rail head. All of the port and terminal facilities in Northern New Jersey have been combined with New York for customs purposes.

So, I am guessing by Sunday or Monday we should know if it loaded on this ship or not.

It appears to have left instead on NYK Starlight running the JCX route via Japan to Port of LA.
