Ship Arrival Departure Destination

Courage 6/23/08 New York

Emden 6/24/08 6/25/08 Baltimore

Don Juan 6/25/08` 6/25/08 Halifax

Undine 6/30/08 Hueneme 7/23

Isolide 7/9/08 Hueneme 7/29

Torondot 7/18/08 Hueneme 8/7


I think the Undine takes 23 days to Port Hueneme so it probably makes a stop in New York.

I got this information off a combination of the shipping schedules for WW and Port of Southampton. I don’t think I wrote down the ships that did not continue on to Port Hueneme. I did not check the K line because it does not go through the Panama Canal. I am still searching.

Cybergypsy, I feel your pain. I asked MINI USA how long it takes to be shipped. They said about a week. So you should be on your way soon. Cathie

 

All I know at this point is:

-New York City, NY (Port Loc = NYCPOA) : WW, ~8 days for transport (truly based in Jersey City, NJ)
and appears Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WW) provides quite a bit of shipping info on each MINI... so I would say it will be a 'wait mode' for about next 5-6 days before we can get more info.

Week 26 here!

 

I just received this email from my Motoring Manager:

The MINI will normally take a week or so after production until it gets put on a ship. As soon as I get any new info I will email you. Once the website is updated to in transit I should have an approximate arrival into port.

I am just excited to join your group. I thought that I would be week 27, but called to day after getting a VIN and they said it should be completed Friday the 27th. Congratulations to everyone.

 

WHen I called earlier today, mine was going through the quality check. Should be just a few days to get on the boat, now!

 

Thx Colby/Melo; if it would help I would cash in some of my miles and help load the boat to speed things up, just need a two wheeler, right?

 

mine was completed a week ago,,,and still waiting for a boat:(

 

Looks like Cybergypsy's ship has come in, well at least about to go out on the Don Juan.

BIG WEEK, let's hear some chatter on the week 26 board!

My rig is in the body shop and gets painted tomorrow, anyone else have an update to share?

 

I was waiting 1 week after completed, hope you guys have a shorter wait

 

Roger's MINI is released to a carrier awaiting transport. I can smell the paint! I am guessing June 30th on the Undine. Hopefully there is an invisible ship sooner. Cathie

 

Would love to get our MINI on the Don Juan to NY/NJ tomorrow w/semi wet paint (imagine your MINI arriving on US soil on 7/4!), but I think it will be the Integrity departing on 6/28 or the Elektra departing on 7/1.

 

You will soon forget the wait when your MINI gets here. Thumper's arrival on October 7, 2005 is all a foggy memory. The first time I listened to MINI USA's recording, it started to come back to me. I am starting to find my way around on the websites again. You'd think I was tracking my own car. At least they keep us entertained. If they gave us too much information it wouldn't be challenging. Cathie

 

Much to my pleasant surprise, when I called today to get my vin number, (I had previously been told that I was scheduled for week 27) I learned that my Cooper Clubman went into production yesterday!!! So, it's week 26 for me.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'll be fine, really.


Getting bumped (or whatever) to 27, then being told today week 28 at the latest...

But...I'm happy for you.

Honest.

 

Wouldn't a car that started production yesterday be complete like next Monday the 30th and thus be a week 27 car?

 

is it the week that production commences or the week that its finished that determines which week it is?

 

YESSS!!!! We are now in the paint shop putting on its shiny coat of British Racing Green, which as we all know BRG makes your Mini FASTER! Can't wait to get on the boat!

 

BRG is a classic color, if it does not make you faster, you will look great!

What color interior are you going with?

 

That is my fear - Oscar will be born and ready to walk and talk, but will be stranded in the UK!

Let us all think gooood thoughts and project them to the MINI plant, the train, the loading dock, the boat, the loading dock, the transport truck, the dealer.

My day is still 6/26. Several calls to ASK-MINI - they can't tell me the prod code, but tell me I am being painted!

Just found out this morning that my little Clubman is at the port today waiting to be assigned on a ship!!!!!!!! I am thinking it will be waiting for at least a few days before catching a ride across the pond.

What am I gonna do once it's on a boat and I may not be able to track it for a couple of weeks???? Guess I will have to fill my time trying to sell my husband's car. Anyone want to buy an '03 Acura TL type S with low miles in great condition?

 

I would think, like any other birth, the day one comes into the world would be the one that counts. Likewise, Ask Mini seems to give week numbers to indicate week of completion.

 

Well i am going with the checkered cloth interior because i like that the cloth is not as cold as the leather when it's freezing outside.

 

Just called ASK-MINI, and they started production on my car on Monday! Looks like I will have it before the end of July! <fingers crossed> Time to start figuring out what boat it is going to be on. Does anybody know where the PDF lists of ships that MINIs ride on comes from?
