Who is buying a Type81?

The Xin Fei Zhou is more interesting it is due to unload on Oct 12, it is flying a Chinese flag and appears to be holding around Prince Rupert since Oct 4th, it just keeps going around in circles and its a direct trip from Shanghai, China and due to unload in Vancouver after Prince Rupert.

This ship has now moved out of it's holding pattern and is headed East at 11.1 knots.

I would go with the t81, who knows if and when there will be another shipment of them coming in. The wr762 are still and will be available for some time, gives a guy time to play with the t81-sell it if you don't like it and move on to the wr762

Yes this was my thoughts when trying to decide which rifle to buy.

No, another company tried to bring them in but there protype was deemed Prohibited. They are still trying but will take years to produce. This current shipment was piggy backed on a PLA order and it will be months or ever years before TI brings them in I would assume. There will be some on EE but over 1500$ I’m betting especially for folding as they are the Most sought after. I wish the best in finding one as when I ordered last month they were sold out day of, I know the feeling. Some ended up turning up, contact TI

TI themselves stated EMEI made extra units for Polytech this run, and there will be more available after this order.

Ok, after doing some research and assuming the ship is to arrive in port on Oct 11(ish) as TI (AND in Vancouver) has stated we can do some elimination.

There are four ports in the Vancouver area dealing with cargo shipments:

Centerm: https://www.dpworld.ca/client-centre/vessel-berth/

Deltaport: http://webservices.globalterminalscanada.com/sites/default/files/DPVesselSchedule.pdf

Fraser Surrey: http://www4.fsd.bc.ca/cms2/vs_limited.asp

Vanterm: http://webservices.globalterminalscanada.com/sites/default/files/VTVesselSchedule.pdf


So given all these ports the only ones that are estimated/scheduled on Oct 10th/11th to arrive in a port are:

Arriving at Centerm's Port
Maersk Semakau 741 (MSEM741W) http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...:9315252/mmsi:565485000/vessel:MAERSK SEMAKAU

Xin Fei Zhou 036 (XIFZ036W)
http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...mo:9337937/mmsi:413171000/vessel:XIN FEI ZHOU

Arriving at Deltaport

Great Bonus 5
http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...584/mmsi:477995833/imo:0/vessel:GREAT_BONUS_5


Arriving at Vanterm

APL SOUTHAMPTON http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...9462017/mmsi:566409000/vessel:APL SOUTHAMPTON

No arrivals scheduled in Surrey Fraser Port at this time.

It is probably on one of these 4 ships. Great Bonus 5 is probably not going to make it soon enough to meet the Oct 11ish time frame, I am not sure if I got ship right.
The APL has to make a stop in the USA before hitting Canada, I think it would also be out (I don't know if they can have it on the ship with the Chinese arms embargo).

That leaves the XIN FEI ZHOU and the MAERSK SEMAKAU.

The Maersk Semaku is coming from Korea, I don't know its previous port but is officially due to unload on Oct 11 and it is flying a Singapore flag.

The Xin Fei Zhou is more interesting it is due to unload on Oct 12, it is flying a Chinese flag and appears to be holding around Prince Rupert since Oct 4th, it just keeps going around in circles and its a direct trip from Shanghai, China and due to unload in Vancouver after Prince Rupert.

My bet is its on one of those two ships.^ Probably the Xin Fei Zhou would be my guess. The only other thing to narrow it down is to see if arms can be transferred on ships that don't fly the country's flag that sending the arms.


EDIT:

Arriving Prince Rupert Port:
http://www.rupertport.com/operations/schedule

CSCL OCEANIA http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:685045/mmsi:477020300/vessel:CSCL%20OCEANIA

CSCL SOUTH CHINA SEA http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:1014047/imo:9645920/mmsi:477637600/vessel:CSCL%20SOUTH%20CHINA%20SEA

P.S. Oh crap, I have a trip tomorrow and I spent 2 hours writing and researching this and now I'm going to be tired travelling through Toronto. I hope someone finds this interesting because now I'm behind on packing. :/

Hmm, I wonder if the quality between two producers will be the same. Might just have to order a folder to go with my fixed if they do indeed bring in another small batch.
