My Black on Black MCS is scheduled to be loaded tomorrow on the [size=1]WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN [/size]Resolve Voyage EQ517-RES Booking Number GBSOU307481 to arrive in Charleston on 5/13. Anyone else have their car scheduled to be on the boat with mine? There are 423 total MINI's listed as booked on this trip right now.

hey Joe looks like we'll be meeting on the poop deck.

I wish! Today ASK.MINI states that my car is completed, and waiting a vessel on the docks. If only they could squeeze one more in!

How long did you have to wait at the docks for a ship, guys?


HOLD THE PHONE!

I just checked my VIN at the WW tracking site, and it looks like my car will definitely be meeting your cars on the same ship! It will be offloaded (debarked? whatever!) in NY on the eighth! WOOHOO!

How do you tell how many cars are on the ship?

 

For over a week I was scheduled to be on the Resolve, and it was on this forum that I was informed the departure from Southampton has been delayed by a day (originally 04.29, changed to 04.30). Imagine my surprise when I logged in on the Walenius site (out of sheer habit!) just for the satisfaction of seeing my cargo status and... MY VIN WAS REJECTED.

Some frantic calls revealed that the car had been loaded the day before on another carrier. Sadly, they don't provide anywhere near the customer tracking options that WW does... but I suppose there's a chance that leaving Southampton two days early gets me to the States two days early.

But -- for a second there -- I thought the world had ended! In any case, I was so very close to being on the Resolve, I still feel a bond. Perhaps the ships will still pass out on the high sees. If so, perhaps your MINIs can look for mine. Mine will be the really cool looking one... very easy to spot.

Just like every other MINI.

NOTE...
O5MCSa - Maybe my MINI catching that earlier boat is what made room for yours... pretty cool, huh? Bon voyage!

 

Well, if that's the case, we both win; thanks!

 

Well, guess I didn't make the cut afterall... Now my VIN is showing a ship by the name of TRIANON. It will leave Southampton on the 3rd, and arrive in NYC on the 11th.

Not too shabby, still!

 

I am still not loaded on the Resolve. Still listed as Recieved at Terminal. Hopefully I am on the ship and the website doesn't reflect that yet. There is an asterisk for waitlisted next to my VIN. That can't be good. The car has been in Southampton since 4/26. There are plenty of others that got there later that were loaded on the ship. I guess they don't do FIFO

 

1st ever NAM post:

davn8r, your post put me at ease because I was also booked for the Resolve (my mini arrived at the Southampton terminal on 4/21) and then on Friday I checked the Wallenius Wilhelmsen web site and boom my mini was no longer tracking. I called 866-ask-mini and it said it was "in transit" but I was still confused about why it no longer tracked on w.w. I read your post Sat. morning and realized that my mini must be crusing with yours. Thanks for your diligence and your post.

You didn't get an arrival date in Charleston, did you?

 

Same deal here, all the sudden my VIN is rejected. Oh well, once out to sea I don't think there's much tracking to be done anyhow. C'mon May 13.
