Hope for a K-Line. The tracking sucks, but it's 2 days faster than the WW ships.

 

Thanks for the info! Looks like we might be on the same boat to the east coast.

 

All we can do is hope The system is behind as i am still in the paint shop and already exited

 

What is the arrival port for these ships?

EDIT: I assume Charleston....gee you guys have many more ships going to Charleston than we have going to California....that's bunk!

 

Those are all the Charleston port ships. I only listed those because 1) That's all that was asked about and 2) It's the one I've paid attention to as I know that's where mine should be coming into.

For Port Hueneme, on WW, the Maersk Wave leaves June 20 (tomorrow),arrives July 10, and the Undine leaves June 30, arrives July 23.

New York is the other port, right? Let's see...WW has the Fedora leaving today (June 19), arriving June 27, the Courage leaves June 22, arrives July 1, the Don Juan leaving June 25, arriving July 4, and the Integrity leaving June 28, arriving July 7.

I don't see a K-Line for either Port Hueneme or New York.

 

Those are quoted for Charleston, SC

Here's what the Port of Charleston has for the arrival dates:


3 EMDEN
CAROLINA SHIPPING AND 584 7/3/2008 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH
3 COURAGE
WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 652 7/5/2008 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH
3 CARIBBEAN HIGHWAY
CAROLINA SHIPPING AND 588 7/10/2008 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH
3 INTEGRITY
WALLENIUS AND WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN 652 7/12/2008 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH
3 SIERRA NEVADA HIGHWAY
CAROLINA SHIPPING AND 600 7/17/2008 Discharge: VEH
Load: VEH

 

Yep, but lucky me, my dealership is about 15 miles from the VDC.

Can't wait!

 

is the Automated line telling you what shop you are in? I've never had it tell me where my car is... just the completion date.

I just tried it again, well, it's kicking my back out to the live person again. Oh well.

 

The automated line has told me each of the following:

"Your vehicle is scheduled for production with no set production date"
"Your vehicle is scheduled for production with an estimated completion date of..."
"Your vehicle is in production with an estimated completion date of..."
"Your vehicle is in the body shop with an estimated completion date of..."

I would assume that paint shop is an option too since it's on the list of codes. Best to talk to a live person, they don't mind, honest!

 

For us West Coasters it's still the Maersk Wave if your car is lucky (ship leaves Friday June 20th) or the Undine (leaving June 30th). Looks like my car will have lots of time to soak up the local color of the Port of Southampton.....he'll be there for more than a week!!

 

This is the only one I've ever heard on the automated.

Oh, I do... twice a day right now. But I usually start with the automated system, just to hear what it has to say and then transfer to the live guy for the lowdown

Hmm, I think I have a problem.

 

My Clubman was completed today (per a nice person at ASK MINI)! Probably being shipped on the Undine leaving June 30, arriving in CA on July 23 (my guess).

 

Looks like just a couple more days and we will all be "built" and waiting for ships.......................

So when does Mini know what ship you are on??

 

She said a few days :(

 

Very cute pic of Apple....how did you do that?

 

a awesome member COOPERation made it for me and sent it Cute huh

 

Ok MA said my port is new brunswick Ga, anyone have the ships that sail there

 

Status changed to "In the body shop" when I called the automated line this morning!

 

Here are the schedules for the two shipping lines:

WW Cargo:
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...=gener atePDF

K-Line Cargo:
http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf

You should be able to figure out the ship based on the arrival.

Mine is on its way to Charlston SC.

 

My MINI lives! She was completed and run through quality check this morning. I imagine she is soaking up the sun the on back lot waiting for a train ride to the docks.

ASK MINI said that it is usually 5-7 days before they get to the port. I don't like the sound of that and from what I can tell, it usually doesn't take that long. Hopefully, the work stoppage won't have the shipping backed up too much, and she'll be able to get to Southampton before the Emden leaves on Monday or the Caribbean Highway on Tuesday.

What am I going to do now that there is no more reason to call ASK MINI?

J

 

I think they meant that it takes 5 - 7 days to hitch a ride on a boat. I don't think the MINIs are taking the scenic route to the docks

 

I am hoping for the courage on the 23rd....ports July 8th Hey whats happening with Siva????

 

On his way to the port, should be there today. Then he's going to just do donuts in the lot while waiting for the boat (after all, he's wanting 17" or 18" wheels, so why not tear up the 16" he's got now?)

 

What boat you hoping for?

 

OK, OK - I'm trying NOT to get too excited. I went to the W&W tracking site, selected "auto", put in my VIN number and got the following:

RECEIVED AT TERMINAL - SOUTHAMPTON - 20/06/2008 01:41

BOOKED - SOUTHAMPTON - 13/06/2008 09:08

So booked June 13, arrived at terminal at 1:41 AM today (the 20th) and it says it is being shipped on the MAERSK WAVE - sailing today! This would put it at PORT HUENEME, CA on July 10th.

So now my inner cynic says, "yeah, sure - wait and see" ;-)
