Concerning the arrival of ARC Endurance: That might be a bit optimistic.. Arrival in La Rochelle is set for tonight 18.30 lt, unloading takes a few days, and it's 4800 km by sea from La Rochelle to Alexandropoulis. Then unloading again, and after that to Rotterdam which is well over 5000 km from Alexandroupolis. Speed of Endurance is about 25 km/h max, so... it would seem to take more than two weeks to reach RTD.

I remembered to have read somewhere on this forum (or on 3CAB Facebook page) that the initial eta for the Endurance in Rotterdam was something like July 19 but I am curious if there are any changing in case I decide to take one or more days off to witness the loading of the vessel
