About time! I won't be happy until I see that my car has been loaded. I am in the first 75 cars waiting so this will probably be it

How do you tell what sequence your car is, in the loading process?

When they loaded the Sagittarius Leader they started with the oldest cars first. The newest one loaded on that ship was produced on 11/2. You can see all the cars scheduled by tracking using the reference number. Cars are listed in ascending order by age.

They have already loaded some of the newest cars so my guess is all 257 cars booked will end up on the Manon

Happy sailing to your MINIs!

(Mine should arrive in Baltimore on Nov 24. The date has been pushed back twice, here's to hopping that the current arrival date sticks!)

Thanks! Your MINI's ship should be showing up on marine traffic soon . The Manon left range about 13 hours ago when it left the English Channel. Hoping for smooth (and fast) sailing!

Integrity arrived in Baltimore about 30 minutes ago. Fingers crossed that it goes through the vdc quickly. I'm going out of town later next week, and would love to pick it up before I leave. :-)

Don't forget, mine is a Countryman, a different starting point than others.

I am now finally "en route" status, but I don't know what ship.

The Manon is pretty much the only possible ship. Have you tried your VIN in WW's track and trace?

Cool!

My car arrived at the port last Tuesday, but I guess because of the holiday, it took longer to be released than normal. My MA guessed they'd get it on a truck today and it would be at the dealer on Friday or Saturday. Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I won't be able to pick it up until next Tuesday. It's going to be hard knowing that my car is sitting there at the dealer waiting for me

The Manon is scheduled for Berth 4 on Dec 10 (http://www.portofhueneme.org/vesselschedule/). My guess is the canal traverse will start sometime on Dec 3. If I am online at the time I will try to catch a snapshot when it is in the Miraflores locks.

Thats too bad. VDC was probably down Th->Su due to the holiday. Not long now though .

I asked my MA for the boat name, but he only gave me the arrival date at Port Hueneme, Dec 16th. I did try my VIN on the WW site, came up empty. He says they normally get the cars about 1 week after the boat arrives, but that would be just before the holidays. The processing might slow down in the VDC with people taking time off.

Looks like it may be on the Volans Leader, that is a car carrier that left Southampton, and arrives on the 16th. Thanks for the Port Hueneme link, that helped quite a bit.

Yeah, the Volans Leader is a NYK-Line ship so there is a good chance it will never show up on the WW tracker. Its too bad your car wasn't loaded on the Manon (it was at the dock early enough) but it isn't too far behind.

Also, one week sounds about right. Both of my past custom orders arrived in Albuquerque about 6 days after being unloaded. Thats with ~ 15 hours spent on a truck. Neither was during the holidays so its hard to tell how that will affect things.

Dude!!! My MA just called and said that my car arrived earlier than expected, and they'll have it ready for me to pick up tonight!

I'm super excited because I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to get it until next Wednesday... and I hated the thought of it sitting at the dealer for a week while I was away. Yahoo!!!

Excellent!!

I'm guessing mine will be at the dealer in about 2 weeks.....give or take a day or two.

The Manon should be pulling in to Panama today.
