Which ship goes to Port Said? Which ship carries tea?


(Note: 'to the right' means anywhere on the right side from the given point, not only right next to. Likewise for left.)

The Spanish Ship is going to Port Said but Statement 5 coupled with the extra note means the tea or cocoa can be either on the French ship or the Brazilian ship as the one going to Marseilles is the the right of both of them.Statement 5 would need to read'the ship next right to the one carrying cocoa' to remove the ambiguity

The Spanish ship goes to Port Said and the French ship carries tea. However, tea can be carried by the Brazilian ship, too.

French 5:00 tea blue Genoa
Greek 6:00 coffee red Hamburg
Brazilian 8:00 cocoa black Manila
English 9:00 rice white Marseille
Spanish 7:00 corn green Port Said
