I am hopefull about tomorrow AM since she's by the Zim Livorno which arrived on the 13th as well and is scheduled to go through in the morning.

Fingers and toes crossed :impatient

 

She's past the Gatun Locks. I'll try to keep tabs on her today but I'll be at work so my reporting may be a little bit spotty. Here are the latest screen captures. The background on the subscription site is not white anymore for where she is anchored at. The first two thumbnails are from the subscription site (the second one is zoomed in a bit more) and the last is from the free site.

 

Hmm, according to the free site, the Isolde appears to be moving again (Green and new position). Maybe heading towards Miraflores ??

 

The subscription site still has her anchored.

 

The Isolde is still anchored, but there is a lot of North bound traffic flowing through the Canal at the moment. I suspect they let the ships through one way in the morning and then the other way in the afternoon.

 

Do you guys know about the Panama web cams?

Yes, I did know of them. I missed it going through the Gatun Locks early this morning/late last night. The next web cam opportunity is the Centennial Bridge and then the Miraflores Locks. I hope to be able to catch it as it goes through both. The camera angle changes during the day at the Miraflores Locks so we may not see it going through. I'm fairly sure I have the correct spots on the AIS map identified so I'll know when to start looking at the web cams if I'm able to be watching at the time.

I will of course post when I think it is getting close to any web cam.

Thanks for posting the link ahead of time for the others in the thread!

 

It looks like some the other anchored ships are starting to make their way towards the Centennial Bridge. I'm thinking the Isolde will fire up her engines soon.

 

She is still anchored, but it looks like all of the other ships that were anchored and waiting to go through the Canal Southbound are all moving, except the Isolde. She should be moving soon.

 

Hmm..interesting. I just checked again. AIS is listing as being anchored but moving at 4.7 knots. I can see where it could be moving at 0.1 or 0.2 while it is drifting somewhat at anchor, but not 4.7

EDIT: Her bow is now turned slightly Southward so I think she is indeed starting up to move her way towards the Centennial Bridge.

EDIT #2: Yes, she is moving. The site has the circle moved a bit away from the icon for the Isolde and it still reports her as being anchored, but moving at 5.1 knots and following the path of the other ships.

 

She is on the move. Here is the latest screen capture from the subscription site.

 

Kewl... so where exactly is Centennial Bridge with the webcam?

 

I think it is right about where the Cma Cgm Dahlia is listed on this map.



At least when I look at Google Earth it looks like it is very near that spot.

 

It looks like the Cape Race is about to go through the Miraflores Locks and Argosy is already in the lock.

 

I'm fairly positive I have the location of the Centennial Bridge now. I was just watching the web cam for it and the only ship that is in the area is the one that is circled in this map.

 

I think the Zhonghai has cleared the Centennial Bridge web cam. The next ship visible on the cam should be the Isolde. But it does have a little way to go before it gets close, I'd say at least 20+ minutes.

 

Probably around 10 minutes to the bridge cam.

 

So cool Attachment 22888 Thanks for the update. I've been watching the AISLive free and saw its heading down that way, but couldn't gauge timing.

 

No problem, it might be a little longer than 10 minutes but it you won't miss it if you leave your PC for that length of time. Oh, maybe not, the map just updated, its moved a bit further. The next big ship on the cam will be the Isolde.

 

Is that it now?????

 

Yes, that is it.

 

She is coming into view

 

 

 

Looks like its getting dark down there.
