Thats too bad. From what I can tell cars sit at the dock at least a couple of days. Mine arrived on the 6th (same day the Torino left).

Strange that my car shows up in WW's tracking system since it is on a NYK-Line ship. Its possible there are other NYK-Line ships leaving for Port Hueneme before the 19th. I would check the tracking every couple of days and see what you get.

 

Nooooooo:

RETURNED TO SHIPPER SOUTHAMPTON 12-11-2015 07:56:00 1

Now shows booked on the Tiger which doesn't leave until Jan 19. WTF.

 

Ouch!!!! That stinks. Hopefully, the Tiger business is temporary. Seems bonkers that they'd have your car sit at the port for two months.

 

Wow, only 61 of the cars booked for the Sagittarius Leader were loaded. Another 197 were returned to shipper.

 

I think so. It looks like WW got a little ambitious booking cars on the Sagittarius Leader. Probably all headed for the Manon.

If anyone is interested my car's original booking reference was GBSOU1381958. Now it is GBSOU1381958A. Almost every car that made it onto the Sagittarius Leader was built week 44.

 

Hmm, another NYK-Line on the around the world route (Southampton->San Diego->Port Hueneme) is arriving soonish (Nov 17). The Auriga Leader is not listed as being on this route but the Southampton VTS shows its next destination is San Diego. There is a chance it will pick up some MINIs.

 

Still not showing on WW's tracking yet. Hopefully it gets booked soon.

 

Probably won't show anything until the ship arrives. I checked mine daily and it didn't show a ship until the 11th. Probably won't be updated again until the 16th or 17th.

 

So my car is on its way! It was loaded onto the Integrity late on Nov 11. Ship departed later than expected yesterday. It finally made it through the English Channel and is moving into the open sea as I type this. Here's to hoping for smooth sailing for the Integrity. Yahoo!

 

Happy sailing for your MINI!

Hoping mine will be booked on the Auriga Leader. The ship is on its way to Bremerhaven to pick up BMWs and MINI Countryman now. After that it is Emden then Southampton. Wish it would show up on Premiership's page so I could see when it is scheduled to get to Port Hueneme.

Though it probably doesn't matter since it looks like they may delay delivery of my car until after Dec 14 anyway so I get it after the dealerships officially launch the Clubman. Go figure.

 

Manon is showing up on the Southampton VTS planned movements:

MANON 9179725 Vehicle (MVE) SGP 19-Nov-2015 07:30 Nab Zeebrugge 38/9 S 1.00 227.90 15150 WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN LOGISTICS
MANON 9179725 Vehicle (MVE) SGP 19-Nov-2015 19:00 Nab 38/9 Manzanillo(PAN) S 1.00 227.90 15150 WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN LOGISTICS

The Manon is currently en route from Malmo to Bremerhaven. The Auriga Leader is in Bremerhaven now.

 

Manon is moored in Bremerhaven. Auriga Leader is on its way to Southampton.

 

Cool!

My ship has been out of range the last couple days. It's weird after getting updates every day or two for the last couple weeks, to have it be in silent mode now. Feels sort of like NASA mission control when a spaceship looses communication as it orbits the dark side of the moon. Fingers crossed that everything is going OK. LOL.

 

Yeah, its a long wait without any information.

 

Damn, the Southampton VTS updated the Auriga Leader's next stop. It is going to Portugal not San Diego :(. Looks like the Manon is it. The Manon is on its way to Zeebrugge now.

 

Looks like the Manon isn't departing Southampton until Nov. 20th now. Still on track for a Dec. 10th arrival in Port Hueneme

 

Nice. Hoping the cars make it through the VDC quickly so I can pick up launch week. Last car took ~ 6 days from VDC to dealer.

Looks like the Manon is sitting out at sea right now. Hasn't headed into port at Zeebrugge for some reason.

 

How far from the VDC is your dealer?

Once my car gets to the dealer, they have to install the JCW Pro Suspension, JCW Pro Splitters, and have all the trim pieces (grille surround, head/tail rings, belt line, and gas cap) painted black. I'm guessing my car won't be ready for about 3 or 4 days AFTER it gets to the dealer. I'm thinking it should be ready for delivery the 20th or 21st. Then it's off to get tinted.

Merry Christmas to ME!

 

My dealer is ~ 850 miles from the VDC. Most of it on I-40. My understanding is about half the wait is the lead time for a priority 1 car to be selected to be processed by the VDC and the rest is split between waiting for a truck and in transit.

 

Wow, the Manon is just going back and forth at ~ 4-6 knots. Check out the past path on marine traffic.

 

Looks like it's doing dounts out there on the open sea!

The only thing I can think of, is that maybe it's in some sort of holding pattern as to not arrive in Zeebrugge early?

 

Must be. Looks like Zeebrugge is pretty full right now. Hope she doesn't have to sit doing donuts for too long.

 

Manon finally pulled into port at Zeebrugge. No ETA for arrival in Southampton but we will know soonish which cars are booked on the voyage.

 

Manon is on her way to Southamton. Tomorrow morning we might be able to see if the cars are booked to sail on her.

 

My little fJCW is booked!
