Roll Call......Who's with me?

 

My guy is on board too.

 

The PCTC (Pure Car and Truck Carrier) MV Tombarra is the fifth vessel in a series of ten built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagasaki, Japan and she was delivered in September 2006. The vessel is specially suited for cars and trucks but she has also flexibility to carry project cargo and containers.

MV Tombarra has a total capacity of 6350 cars (RT43). MV Tombarra has a basic complement of 27 and is a sistership to MV Torrens, Toledo, Toronto, Topeka and Tortugas.....read more plus a picture here http://www.wilhelmsen.com/services/s...VTombarra.aspx

 

Hmmm.....I know you're out there. Bump.

 

Week 40 owner here and have looked on the WW website and no Honey listed so I believe she is on the K line, I hope she is on the ship with yall. What Port are yall docking in?

Kiah

 

My Tatum is getting off at the final stop Brunswick, Ga.

 

Im on as well. Maybe Kooza and Tatum will be on the same truck to lol. who is you MA at Ferman swflaboy?

 

His name is Bob (Robert).

 

Ive talked to Bob hes a cool dude! Our MA is Rollin. Kinda older guy and really knows his stuff.

 

Rollin was the one that answered my email and I asked for him the day I ordered. Unfortunately he was not there. But Bob has been great.

 

The Tombarra is currently docked in Halifax with an estimated time of departure of 4:30pm Atlantic time.

 

The Blue Oc is on board, right by the door so he can be first off!!

 

Looks like the Tombarra has dropped off the NYC area MINIs and is headed to Baltimore.

Hmmm...2 days from NYC to Baltimore? I smell a shore leave for the crew. My MINI better not have extra miles on her.

 

Salt N' Pepa is onboard. She will get on in Brunswick which now shows on 10/23 though 4 days from NYC to GA seems like a long time. Any while it works better from me GA before SC seems strange. We are in Atlanta so we home to have her by the end of the month. as of 6:41 on the 20th Tombarra is it chesapeake bay should be in Baltimore this evening a day early.

 

Tombarra left Baltimore around 12:30 eastern time and is currently (2:40 pm)in the Chesapeake bay. It shows an ETA in Brunswick at 6am on the 23rd. Thats where Salt N' Pepa gets off. I hope the VDC is open over the weekend.

 

I thought I read somewhere that the VDC is only open Mon-Fri. Might not matter as I think the Brunswick port only handles MINIs for Florida and Georgia.(?) I think that's why they bypass Charleston where a much larger number of cars depart. Just guessing here but makes sense to me.

 

My MINI Mean Mr. Bean V4.0 is on this ship too. It's funny. My son ordered an M3 a couple months ago and he was in route on this ship from Germany and it stop at SH and picked up my MINI. What are the odds. LOL!

 

While www.marinetraffic.com does not have any data for Brunswick I did find a site www.vesseltracker.com that shows day old data and it shows Tombarra 10 miles out of Brunswick at 6:45 on 10.23 (don’t know if the 6:45 is UTC or local). The WW site does not show a discharge time yet. Those of you how got off earlier was there a delay it the site updating? If not I hope there is not a backup of cars at the port making them have to keep them on the boat longer or a delay due to the last minute change to skip CHARLESTON and having to gets cars off out of order. WW does show it leaving today and getting to CHS on the 25th. Those waiting there can also look at http://www.scspa.com/vessel_schedule.asp it gives detail of what ships are there and times. Good luck to all.

 

We were able to get some of picts of our car comming off the truck.
