Possibly- can follow its progress by clicking on current vessels track above.
Ship is not far from where the previous vessel used by Bao was moored in Long Beach,California- an incorporated area surrounded by the greater LA area. Of course its moored at Long Beach as you say-despite the above still showing Long Beach as destination-and its a China flagged ship.

Future 1 has been researching Bao's JV shipping partner (China Shipping Group ?-I posted before and think thats the name) for clues-so thank you future1 for that.

Looks like it could handle ca 49k tons of ore. CWRN has ca 80 k tons (plus whatever it has trucked since late March that we are not aware of) to port and last ship picked up ca 43800 tons, leaving ca 36200 tons-plus whatever else might have been trucked since late March-had the huge pile of scrap iron been next to CWRN's ore ever since Mar 20-when independent pics showed it there -to time of last ships ore pickup ca June 10-15?
