Anyone else with a week 36 car that isn't on a boat yet?

Maybe they are making mine extra special

Waiting for my ship to come in...

I'm in Michigan, so it should be a WW ship. Even if it wasn't, it should be in the Awaiting Transport status, not Waiting to be released to Carrier...

yes I am in the same boat - no pun intended - owners lounge says awaiting transport, ask mini says I am at the port awaiting a shipping vessel, WW site says no info can be found

... maybe they got on the turps the night before they left and missed the ship together??

Both the OL and ASK MINI can have conflicts or even wrong info, seems once a Mini is actually out the door of the factory, it can be lost. They can't seem to be 100% accurate if it is outside waiting to board the train or at the dock waiting for a ship.

There is a "chance" you could be on a ship other than a WW one and eventually your MA will know it. Has happened to several members in the last couple of weeks.
I would keep checking WW, but alos keep in contact with your MA, if you are on a ship other than a WW, he will be about the only that will know.

Did you confirm this on the WW tracking page? If so, what is the booking number for this voyage?

You can join the All aboard INTEGRITY thread if you'd like!

Hi diaemus,

Our Mini's shared the voyage together on the "Otello".

My MA reported that my Mini is at the port in Port Bayonne, NJ. And, then it will go through customs, and hopefully hop on a truck in the next few days to head to the VPC which is the transit facility. From there it will go to the dealer. She guesses one more week and I can pick her up. YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!

You guys on the east coast are so lucky! My ship to the west coast just passed through the Panama canal, so about a week to go before it gets to shore =/

I have no clue which ship - and to be honest not sure my MA does but I have decided to put my faith into the cosmos and believe what I am being told!! OL has me as in transit with an eta of 9/27 and I am defn not on a WW ship as still no info pops up when I enter my VIN, so think I am on one of those other 'untrackable' ships... I saw a CooperS this morning with the same bike rack I am getting zoom past me at the bus stop - so cant wait!!!

The Frisia Has Arrived!

The K Line ship, the Frisia, arrived a day early (!!!), docked and began unloading at least one Mini at 8:00 this morning. Hopefully Fish, my '08 MCc in Yello Tang (that's Mello Yello to those of you who don't keep saltwater fish, lol) will make it throught the VPC quickly and then it's a short trip to Ft. Lauderdale for some black sport stripes and some fun in the sun. Wahoo!!! Dealer says delivery Wed-Thurs. My insides are starting to tighten up like (what I picture to be...) a Meth addict.

If the OL says estimated delivery (this is to the port, not your dealer) of 9/27 you are very likely onboard the K-Line Frisia, which as stated above docked a day early. It arrived today at 3:00 pm ET and is docked at the Union Pier Terminal.

If you are in the Chicago area your Mini will be going thru the VDC in NJ. Since K-Line does not show any stops in that area you "should" be on a WW ship that shows stops at NY. The WW ship Toronto will be in NY on 9/27 which matches the date you have, but you mentioned you were not on a WW ship.
