Greetings fellow travelers.

Boat leaves tomorrow. Hurry up that ramp.

 

Looks like I'm gonna miss that boat, mines not leaving until 9/7/2008 on Integrity, with each vessel holding 6,000 cars (best guess) thats 12,000 cars in 3 days, thats movin' movin'.

**News Flash**
Integrity just departed Antwerp and is heading to Southampton as I type (9/3:2200) go baby go.

(Assuming we're on this brand-spanking new incarnation of the Aniara.)

(not this one)

 

The ship's status has been changed to 'underway' within the last 30 mins. I really need to start focusing on work

 

Hello fellow 36 er's,

I am on the Aniara as well. I Just sold my 02 MC this morning. It was a lot harder to see her go then I realized, but "Candace" will be here soon to help ease the loss!!

Got my ticket and was on board @9:45 AM today

 

My MINI would've been there at the port waving his handkerchief at his Week 36 siblings as they sailed off, but he's still on the assembly line. Best wishes on your journey!

I was intrigued by the name ANIARA, as so many WW ships are named after operas. Guess what, there's an opera called "Aniara"! It's based on a Swedish poem. Wikipedia gives this synopsis: "Controlled by the computer Mima, the space ship Aniara leaves the poisoned Earth, heading for Mars. The vessel is thrown off course, forcing a journey to the constellation Lyra which will last for the rest of the lives of crew and passengers. When the Earth is destroyed, Mima cannot continue, and the commander deals as best he can with the increased despair and moral deterioration of those aboard. The 20th anniversary of the voyage is celebrated and death is near, as the journey comes to its end."

OK, that's weird. Don't forget to write!

 

Ok, I'm not so sure that's such a good name to give to a ship after reading that lol.
I don't care if they are heading for Mars as long as they make a stop at my VDC first

 

Looks like 72 minis made it on the boat.. try entering the booking number on this page http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...okingSearch.do

 

Hi All,

I made this boat too! So, it looks like I'm the 4th NAM member on this boat.
DSMCS how did you find out 72 minis on this boat?

 

Looks like the ship is moving!

Ok, so I'm obssessed... was in training all day, just got a chance to get on a computer to out the status. Super excited!

 

Yep! Just got home and hopped on the computer right away to check the status and the ship IS moving!
MiniCS click the link I pasted above and put in GBSOU679231
That is the booking number. I'm really just assuming that those are all the minis that made it on the boat going by the vin numbers listed.

Sorry to make you guys wait. I couldn't seem to get on until 18:52. Slowed by a dodgy curry, no doubt.

 

I think that's 72 MINIs headed for Georgia. There are a ton more on this monster of a car carrrier.

 

You're probably right. Makes more sense that way.

 

 

Hi Euro,

I'm with you (alone with 265 other bulldogs)! Surprising there are that many coming into NY VDC. Anyway, NE is the most densely populated corner of the states. Hopefully that doesn't translate to long processing time at NY VDC. Luckly, I'm in Westchester, so it's a short ride from the port.

 

Hmmmmm I saw that too last night ship departed 9/4/08
however last night my vin # had a * after it and just said it was checked in at the port, but was supposed to be on this ship.

This morning my vin # states loaded on ship 9/5/08 10:45

Does this mean my MINI jumped and swam for the ship that already departed 9/4/08 and was resuced and loaded 9/5/08

 

Yes.

You got the Batman Package, no?

 

Didn't order it maybe its standard on the 2009

or it was kidnapped by those other ANIARA 's that show up when you try tracking by name.
Check out the booking EA835-ARA several others did the same, Last night we had (*) after the vin #

 

 

Some in my section were loaded on 9/5 also. lol Not sure how this is possible after the ship had left.

 

Integrity is at dock in Southampton, filling up her belly. Don't slow down Aniara, or we'll be passing ya.
