Yes, I use Marine traffic as my main source and have used it for many years for another unrelated purpose. Smaller bulks normal take around 24 hours to load and bigger Capesize 48+ hours, so once a day with a quick 2nd glance catches all vessels. I do use other sites to fill in gaps , as sometimes there are issues, such as yesterday, when "Las Palmas" was showing as being in the port entrance, but was actual already docked at the quay and just showing as an identified cargo vessel, therefore it was the likely culprit, but needed to be verified.
I appear to have cause some stress on this normally easy going board, this was not my intention, just trying to share knowledge, hopefully this will restore calm to those interested in the details:

The limit for our exports is the rail line.
The port can handle approx double the current tonnage.
As I am unable to track tonnage railed into RBCT, the only way for me to get an idea of current railings ahead of results, when the rest of the market finds out, is the amount leaving the port.
It is true that TGA exports are only a portion of RBCT totals, but it is a good guide and the information has stood me in good stead with my TGA evaluations and has been well worth the effort considering the sums of money involved.
IMO, while there have been signs that things may improve with TFR, at the moment it seems they are taking longer than expected and with the coal price much lower, I'm currently out and preserving capital, after an exceptional run since the demerger.

(Both arrived on Sunday 12th February)
FYI, on my records I count tonnage when it arrives, with each week starting Monday morning, ending Sunday night
If you think there are any ships my source has missed, please provide name and/or IMO and I can add them to my spread sheet.
Thanks
RB
Unfortunately they are the only 3 ships that have docked since Monday morning and add up to approx. 410kt DWT. For RBCT to get back to 2021 export levels, we need another 720+ kt DWT before the end of Sunday and so far this year that hasn't happened in any week.

Angus Energy Plc
("Angus Energy", "Angus" or the "Company")
Balcombe Planning Appeal Successful
Angus Energy (AIM: ANGS) is pleased to announce that, further to its RNS of 2 March 2021 and 2 August 2021, its appeal against the decision by West Sussex County Council to refuse permission for an extended well test at its Balcombe oil site has been upheld.
Angus Energy has a 25% interest in the Balcombe field discovery (PEDL 244) targeting the Kimmeridge limestones. The Balcombe 2Z horizontal sidetrack was drilled in 2013 and permission for a flow test was granted in 2018. The test evidenced a definitive oil show with high flow rates for short periods.
The planning permission expired prior to the completion of clean up operations leaving a quantity of, what the Company subsequently determined to be, left-over drilling fluids from the 2013 operation.
Hence a new planning permission was applied for in 2020 in order to complete the clean-up exercise and follow with an extended well test.
As a consequence of yesterday's decision by the Planning Inspectorate, the Company is now capable of pursing this well test subject to satisfaction of planning conditions noted in the Appeal Decision as well as the determination of the variation to the Environmental Permit by the Environment Agency which we understand to be imminent.
END.

The links I provided yesterday are the most up to date I can find, with Rotterdam and Newcastle normally being up dated during the day. Richards bay is normally updated later and all prices for all months normally show by 10pm UK, though sometimes, for reasons unknown to me, they can be available much earlier. I have asked before if anyone has access to anything better for free and none I have seen are better. Again if anyone has a better link, please post it.
The best I can normally do to get a feel is look at gas and crude price trends which I can get 100% live prices for.
FYI, I'm now fully out, with coal prices having dropped, I have sold off over the last month to protect my gains, having been in since it demerged from Anglo American. This one share has made up for disasters with Sirius and Covid.

Coal price up sharply today, let's hope the sp follows them up tomorrow. Port is quite and I still can't see a rerate upwards unless the coal price continues this rise, along with some cold weather.
