Just found out my mini is waiting for transport to the U.S.! It has been about two months since I ordered it. Anybody else in the same position?

 

Yep. My F55 was ordered in Feb. it almost got in a ship Sunday, but got bumped. I'm expecting it to leave for NY on the Faust on 3/20.

 

Nice! So exciting! I ordered a F55 too! Mine is going to Brunswick Georgia.

 

Is your port of entry NY?

 

I think it is going to Brunswick Georgia.

 

The Resolve leaves tomorrow. I hope your car gets on it.

 

Just checked WWL and mine is booked on the Resolve. Hopefully I don't get bumped.

 

Does your car show up on the tracking ship site? I have put my car vin in and it still says no record found.

 

It showed up on their tracking site using my VIN in the cargo ID field.

 

How long did it take to show up? It showed up waiting for transport in the owners lounge but there is nothing on the WWL site yet. :(

 

The owner's lounge still indicates awaiting transport, which is technically correct since its not on the ship yet. The Resolve left Antwerp a little while ago and hasn't made it to the North Sea yet (according to marinetraffic.com)

When I checked the WWL tracking site last night there was no record found. Today it says my MCS was received and booked at the terminal on March 6.

 

Oh wow. My F55 was just completely built on 3/6/25. I don't think she will be on the Resolve with yours.....Have fun tracking! I hope mine will be on the Faust on 3/20/15.

 

Congrats and dont forget to post up pics.

 

Learned my CR R59 S Roadster was completed 3/13 and is now at the Southampton port as of 3/18 waiting for a "ride" to Baltimore. Looking at both Wallenius and K-Lines, appears "best possible" outbound ship for is the K-Line's Oregon Highway departing 3/21; next best is Wallenius's Lines Tysla 3/23 with only an 8 day scheduled trip to Baltimore..must have fewer ports of call on the way there! Anybody else parked in Southampton waiting for a boat to Baltimore?

Will have to call MINI Customer Service tomorrow to see if it made it and onto which ship. In meantime...just ordered Cocomats from WayMotorworks...#51 black w/ red dots. The waiting continues and the accessories continue to accumulate!

 

You can track your ship using www.marinetraffic.com. If you register (free) you can set up a fleet of one ship and track it. It will update every five minutes. Once its out of range of the nav aids you can track it by satellite.

Mine went through the Azores yesterday and is almost at the halfway point.

 

Thanks! I had just done "spot checks" on that site when our BMW was in transit...will have to check out setting up a "one ship fleet" once I know the vessel name.

 

Called Ask MINI today and car is still waiting for transport. The guy I spoke to could not give me a ship name. How do we find this out?

 

I called as well... said they wouldn't know ship's name until vehicle is actually loaded. I will call on Monday morning

 

I used the schedules from k-line and ww to find out which ships would be arriving in Southampton and in what order. At the time there were two WW ships inbound, the Resolve and the Toreador. When I entered my VIN into WW's tracking site it indicated I was schedule for the Resolve. I used www.marinetraffic.com to find it, then I registered (free) and set up a fleet to track it. Once I found mine scheduled on the Resolve I stopped using Ask MINI.

For reference, my Mini was on the dock 3/6 but didn't get loaded until 3/14. Also, originally there were 237 vehicles to be loaded, but by the time it departed there were 289. Also, MINI online didn't indicate it was en route until three days after it left port.

 

Yeah, I will call as mini on Monday too. My car has been waiting at the port since 3/10/15.

 

Found out today that my MINI is on the Oregon Highway since 3/22/15 from ASK MINI. Owner's lounge still says awaiting at port.

 

Congrats Minicrazy1234 !
That's the ship I'd hoped I could catch..but my Roadster S was only completed 3/17..so I suspect there was some backlog at the port given your comment your MINI was completed a few days before mine.

I've made several calls this week...still not assigned to a ship; Owner's Lounge says same thing - "Awaiting Transport". I see the next ship departures headed to Baltimore are K-Line's Columbia Highway this Friday 3/27 and Wallenius Lines TIJUCA on Sunday 3/39...hope I can make one of those!

 

Congrats on the ship. Owner's lounge was three days behind for mine.

 

Picked her up today!

 

Congrats!
Our Roadster did make it on the Tijuca and it docked in Baltimore Late Thursday. Called MINI Friday and they confirmed our car was at the VPC with estimated delivery to my local dealer ~ 4/18. Getting close now! Strut bar, rear sway and Cocomats are waiting!
