Did a bit of research on Aniara.

It appears this is a brand new ship. According to this article, it may have only been named on Sept. 1, which would likely make this the maiden voyage across the Atlantic.

Can you tell it's Friday!!

 

I can't track Aniara on Sailwx....

May be ship is too new and not yet in registry??

 

I haven't been able to track the Aniara either but here's another one you can use but you have to register for the two week trial http://www.aislive.com/ I'm still waiting to get my access

Call sign = SKJC, though it has not shown up yet on the (weather spotting) sight sailwx:

Because there are several "Aniara's" out there it may be best to try the call sign over the vessel name in the search function at the bottom of the page. So far, no pings.

She arrives in Halifax on 9/11 and then on to NYC and points south, but I guess we all know that by now.

 

Cant seem to track her. Anyone know where she is??

 

Yeah, no hits yet with that sailwx thing. Guess this ship does not participate in the project.

It does dock in Halifax in 4 days so perhaps we'll see it then.

No sign of the Aniara yet, but the INTEGRITY which left Sept. 6th (2 days after us) can be seen way over here:

Based on the position of INTEGRITY, ANIARA should be pretty close to St. Johns!!

Looks like it is expected in Halifax at 6:48 AM (local time) on the 11th. (update = 2 hours later than original ETA. At least it is fresh info.)

 

Well considering it left a day late maybe not. any tracking info? I just hope the things still afloat hate to have to start all over again.

 

Its 2:26am 9/11 in the UK and 9:27pm 9/10 in canada will our ship be found or lost at sea?

 

It docks in 7 hrs in Nova Scotia. It'll be there.

 

Per my post on 9/4 5:25p EDT, I saw the ship depart from the dock on the AIS system. DSMCS also saw the same. So, I'm fairly confident it left Southampton on time.

We'll know in about 5 hours. that is if someone will wake up that early to track it coming into Halifax.

 

Very Interesting wonder how those cars got on 9/5/08 10:32
Is there a site that shows Halifax? I guess WW site will only show when it leaves Halifax?

 

Arrived (in Halifax, Nova Scotia.)


Pier 31
Move To Autoport @ 11:30 ANIARA Wallenius Whilhelmsen Lines In Port 11-Sep-08

 

So close, yet so far! Hopefully, it doesn't take more than a couple of days for the car to get from the VDC to the dealership. Not that I didn't have a reason to try track the ship 20x a day already but I just sold my car last Saturday

 

Yea, I saw the entry for 9/5 on my mini too. My guess is that the manifest was uploaded/processed into the system after the ship departed.

The Halifax port shows ETD of 21:30. Any one know ETA for NYC?

 

No harbor updates since 8:30AM so we have no idea if this big ship-full-o-MINIs will leave on time or not. Come on, Halifax! Don't you know that there are tons of folks (with no connection at all to Halifax) who want to know when our taxi is leaving the taxi stand? Update your logs.

Will Integrity beat us to NYC?

Probably.

 

No harbor update, but you can track movement on http://ais3.siitech.net/VTSLite/AView.aspx

I saw it move to the autoport this morning and now it's steaming out of Halifax harbor. Take a look before it goes out of range.

 

Yup. She has scooted.

On to Jersey City.

 

I went out deep-sea fishing today near the Jeffrey's Bank in the Gulf of Maine, and when I wasn't busy not catching fish or puking over the back of the boat (big swells, crummy weather, no fish....what a joy) I tried to see if I could spot a big Ro-Ro car carrier on the horizon.

No such luck.

I put my VIN in and then clicked track, after I got to the next page I clicked the blue voyage numbers and it says its either in NY or already left.

Hey, they list us all as discharged in NYC a/o 2pm 9/13/08. [WW site if you put in your cargo reference number, not VIN.]

Cool.

 

Wonder if the VDC is working overtime they have ships coming in almost every day starting Monday. Can't imagine us just sitting there waiting for 6Am Monday to get started. Drove by my dealer Thursday he only had 3 cars 2 '09 JCW's in the showroom and a '08 yellow cooper that someone cancelled early last week. By the way it is last on first off so I must be the first one in line at the VCD door

Was it a drunk & disorderly discharge? Looks like they threw us off the ship and ran.

 

I'm jealous, Mr. Ray. I hear your MA says you'll see your car in a couple of days. My MA still thinks my car is on a boat. When I asked him how much longer, he off-handedly said, "only about 2 weeks." I wanted to kill him.

MINIUSA says it is still en route, and the recording said it is scheduled for production.

I'm moving backwards, and we off-loaded together!

Did MINIUSA show you at the VDC over the weekend or perhaps on Monday?
