I have no idea what Nab means but I found something called NAB Anchorage Ship Positions: http://www.ship-tracking.co.uk/AIS%20Maps/nab.html
This site has an ETA of 05:00 UTC, so about 1am EDT.

 

aafflyer - thanks for posting that video. I've seen bits of it, but never the whole thing before. Very interesting.

Enjoy the video


Thanks

 

My production finished according to the rep on 7/3/2014. The rep advised me last Tuesday that the vehicle is in the quality check department. Owners lounge still showing scheduled for production and automated system says production was complete. Any ideas on why I am not at the docks waiting for a boat yet?

 

You could be on the dock and not everything is caught up. That is what happen to me. Call mini USA and talk to an human.

 

For our East Coast Fans
Grand Duke is moored in Southampton, GB
Torrens is moored in Zeebrugge, BE (Next stop Southampton)

 

And Fremantle Highway is in Bremerhaven, due in Southampton tomorrow. Keeping the stevedores busy.

 

Does anyone know that once you are on a loaded on ship that MINIUSA 800 # Updates the Ship information or do you need to talk to an Human?

 

Once you know your ship's name you can find its current position with a site like:

http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...hips/371384000

But you won't know for sure that your Mini's on it until the WWL Track and Trace says so. And that info might be late by a day or so. I suspect Miniusa and the dealer get their info from WWL and therefore can be no more current.

 

The Grand Duke and The Torrens have left their Ports. Next stop for Grand Duke: Baltimore, USA and next stop for Torrens: Southampton, UK

 

I have a good feelin'... I'm scrubbing grungy car mats and looking for ancient artifacts under the seats of my current transport as we speak.

 

How much changes did you find?

 

No change. It was surprisingly clean. The worst was a bent metal pop top from a Pringles can (it looked like anyway). Given that 2 sons spent their time from 11 & 13 years old to adulthood back there, not to mention the learning to drive and borrowing the car years, I was surprised. (It was the family truckster, not OCD detailed every week - or year). Cleaned some orange clay residue from a car mat and know that was from the little league baseball years. Kind'a sad all in all. But not sad enough to prevent trading it on a MINI!

 

I did not make it on Torrens

 

Me either. If not on Grand Duke that will make 3 ships since we arrived in port. Let's hope we're on Grand Duke. Blasted informationless K-line.

 

I've missed the last 3 ships too, but I may also be on the Grand Duke. You guys may have already noticed this, but if I put in my VIN and then click my VIN on the status like that says received at terminal it brings up a page that looks like I'm on the Grand Duke. If I take the booking number from that page and search based on that, my car is in the list for that ship. Oddly, none of the cars in the list actually say loaded onto vessel so who knows if we made it or not.

 

Wait - What? I've been putting my VIN in the WWL Cargo ID and it comes up with records not found. You're putting your VIN in somewhere else?

 

What is the booking number and web site are you using to put your vin on?

 

I put it in the cargo ID field. Has your VIN ever shown as booked on a ship yet? Mine was booked on the ship this past Thursday but didn't make it and the status changed to return to shipper.

 

I'm using the WWL site. Search booking number GBSOU1226121. That brings up a list of cars for the Grand Duke, but none of them say loaded on vessel.

 

Vin has shown up yet. Keep getting record not found.

 

You must not have been booked on a ship yet then. I guess I'll have to wait until the Grand Duke arrives on the east coast to find out if I'm actually on that ship unless the status updates before then.

I thought we would have been on the same ship. My car completed production on 7/3 and was at the port on 7/4.

 

How do you know that those cars are on Grand Duke. The Grand Duke is a different shipping line. It is the K-Line and not the WWL line?

 

Our productions was completed on July 4 and we think at dock around July 7 or 8

 

Yep, same here. Records not found. Production complete was 7/4.
