You see my post above about being on the Michigan Highway ? Wasn't expecting that !
Still don't see that ship on the WW schedule but it's currently sitting in Bremerhaven.

Good point, or maybe WW is the main logistics arm for BMW and handle all shipping to North America. Very interesting.

The only thing I haven't seen the OL do is go back in time, but I'll bet they're working on that.

Awwww... that's sweet you're so worried about my MINI.
You need to move east !! And not likely, mine will be in the dealership for a while. Heck, the stripes might not even be there when the MINI arrives. Imagine, they can make a MINI and ship it from another continent before custom stripes can be made and shipped from the U.S.

If she is booked on the Michigan Highway, you won't be able to find updates on the WW site. The Michigan Highway is part of K-Line America fleet. The WW site only tracks Wilh Wilhelmsen vessels. Your MA has a better chance of tracking your baby on the Michigan Highway.

I'll think of that when I reach for my long sleeve shirt deep in the cold cold winters that dip into the lower 40's here in SoCal.

I don't want to scare you guys who have MINIs on ships somewhere in the world, but here's a screen shot of the tracking for the WW ship Carmen that delivered my car to Baltimore. Apparently the boat traveled across land (averaging more than 200 mph, according to the tracking chart), but finally got turned around once it got to the Caspian Sea. I was afraid it was going to end up in Uzbekistan, because I can't spell Uzbekistan.
Apparently there is a difference between west longitude and east longitude.

LOL... I have to say that, so far, I'm less than impressed by the current tracking resources when these ships are at high sea and out of range from the AIS tracking system. Last reliable update was 7 days ago. Farther back for Sailwx.
The good news is that the maritime forecast for the next few days looks pretty decent for the Caribbean and Golf waters. And tropical storm Cosme seems to be tracking away from the Pacific Coast. So on the weather front, ships starting to transit the Caribbean and Golf waters, or up the Pacific coast appear to be headed for decent sea conditions.

Just got an update. Car has been released to from VPC to the carrier but still in California. Been there for a week now. I think it enjoys sightseeing as it hung out in Germany longer than average. The wait continues...
