RE:RE:RE:RIPET _ Propane Export TerminalI was watching it as well. Hellas eventually went to anchorage and RIPET sat empty for a over ad day . I thought it would have been very close to the time required to load.
I happened to see One Energy leave and it was odd that Hellas was also moving. It came up with tugs, close to the wharf but One Energy was still there with tugs around it preparing to leave.
Hellas then went back to anchorage escorted by tugs and about 20 minutes later One Energy was gone. Hellas didn't go to RIPET for hours after One Energy left. Seemed very odd, almost like it was a timing issue, to late in the day? Tugs only work certain hours? Very strange.

The behavior of Hellas Glory as it entered PR appeared that it was going to be moored instead of going straight to anchorage. This could be seen on the track history which is only available for 24 hrs(free version). My first thought was RIPET was not ready to load Hellas Glory since it only takes 27 hrs to load the tanker easily clearing the bulk carrier mooring by 10hours.
One other note : One Energy departed on April 8
th 15:38 local time. Hellas Glory was next and was moored April 8
th 23:20 local time. That is about 8 hrs later. That is a longer time between ships since I have seen on the Teck wharf interchange of ships within 2 hrs. Unusual.
In order to maintain a 50 kbbls/day throughput , a new tanker must be moored every 10 to 11 days on average. Refer to the table to see the current run rate for RIPET.

GunnerG - (4/10/2021 7:36:56 PM) RE:RIPET _ Propane Export Terminal The bulk carrier One Energy got in ahead of the Hellas Glory on the 6th and departed ~4 PM on the 8th and Hellas Glory went to the terminal early on the 9th.
How do you know One Energy wasn't scheduled ahead of Helas as opposed to CNR delays.
I would be interested in the link to that information. Not sure what the scheduling rules would be for RIPET. ie If ship scheduled to pull up to RIPET is 12 hours away, they still get the slot and others wait their turn

Daily throughput has plateau just under 50k bbls/day.
FEI (Far East ) propane prices remain strong at $520 usd/tonne (vesus ($280 usd/tonne –Edmonton). FEI propane pricing is expected to remain strong as storage builds and plastic shortages are worked out during the 2
