Question about Mini tracking

When you get a list of VIN numbers from http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...okingSearch.do, does the status of each of the cars update as they are loaded onto the ship? Or, does the status remain the same until after the ship is underway.

For instance Booking # GBSOU579372 (Patriot) lists all the cars as "LOADED ON VESSEL" whereas Booking # GBSOU579357 (Boheme) lists all the cars (currently) as "RECEIVED AT TERMINAL". Will those booked on Boheme see status updates throughout the day? (Today is the Boheme's departure.)

I found that with ours, it had already sailed off until the site's status updated it to "LOADED ON VESSEL."

As ours was "RECEIVED AT TERMINAL" and booked for the Freedom, we were surprised to find it not updated a day or two after the Freedom had left. A day later, it was updated to booked on the UNDINE. Then, after seeing the UNDINE had left, I feared we missed the boat there as well. Fortunately, the site updated a few hours later, and it was shown as "LOADED ON VESSEL."

Seems to be any where from a few hours to a day as to when the information is transmitted and updated on the site. I was able to catch the UNDINE in leaving the port on the AIS tracking, but unable to see the Minis being loaded via the Southampton webcam. Oh well.

Good luck, and try to not check (I know... very hard not to) every other moment. That's what happened to us. Walked away (for a few hours), and lo and behold, the site updated. I guess a watched pot never does boil...
