Your MA should help you...He can get the codes...193 is basically sitting at the port.

 

My MA just mis-typed.
Think he is so used to all the MINIs coming from England that it's just second nature to think/type England!

 

My MA just sent me an email letting me know that Mr. Bickles caught a ride and is USA bound!
He's due to arrive at Port Hueneme in CA on the 10th.
Hope he makes some new friends aboard ship.

The VIN isn't showing up on the WW site yet.

 

Talked to my MA, he's showing a code 180 "it has been handed over to the carrier at the port. A couple Countryman were shipped yesterday, and are set to reach the port on 9th of December, so Your should be a week or so later than that."

Does anyone know of a reference that shows all the potential statuses and the standard progression through the process?

So now I can officially move from the Scheduled for Production thread to this one! My Countryman completed production and is now in status 182 and en route to the Port of Exit! Maybe it can make the Fidelio on Dec 3 after all.

 

Congratulations! I hope your stay at the port is short!

 

Woo Hoo!!
Congratualtions Midnight!
Keeping fingers crossed for quick transport.

 

I called 866-ASK-MINI at lunchtime and it has been completed and awaiting release for transport.

 

Congrats! Perhaps our cars will be shipmates. Yours going to NY POC?

The Fidelio is now scheduled to leave Bremerhaven on Dec 4th so I think there is a fairly decent chance we can get loaded on that vessel. The next one, Manon, departs on the 9th.

 

I just spoke with Laura @ 866-ASK-MINI and she gave me more detail than the automated I called at lunchtime. She said the car has been handed over to the carrier and is awaiting a load assignment.

Yes, it will be going to Jersey City.

 

I am hopefully going to join you guys - I checked earlier today and suggested that I was at 182

I have got my digits crossed to make this boat

 

Trying to get a handle on timing and logistics from factory at Graz to port at Bremerhaven. Looks to be around 800 miles or so as the crow flies. These cars are transported by truck or rail? Either way they should arrive at the port by 12/2 which should still leave a window to make it on the Fidelio.

 

Mine, which was scheduled to be completed on Nov. 29th, is also finished--it has been released to the carrier and is awaiting transport.

I'd be shocked if they go by anything other than rail from Graz to Bremerhaven.

You can see what I think is the rail line at the plant in this picture:

Next to Doktor Auner Strasse.

I have my doubts about making it on to the Fidelio, but fingers crossed.

 

It is indeed by rail as confirmed by a forum member who is also an MA. It's about a 700 mile journey from Graz to Bremerhaven so you would think 14 hours or so depending on stops. ASK MINI reports that my vehicle is still 182 which means it has not arrived at the Port yet. Should get there today.

 

I found this website. Mine wouldn't show up yet anyway, but it might help if yours is on the boat already.

If anyone has success please post results.

I tried a search with just the first 5 of the vin and it looks like all you have to do is enter the vin into the cargo ID.

 

Session Expired on that link. Try this http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/

 

Is yours trackable?

 

Nope. AFAIK, hasn't even reached the port yet. Hopefully today. Then hopefully loaded on the Fidelio.

As noted in an earlier post, there is TONS of information and resources listed in the first post of this thread and here as well

 

Mine was trackable on the site but not until it was loaded, there was a 2 week period from completion to showing up on the site as being loaded on a vessel

 

major snowstorm hit Europe today. Hope this doesn't effect our port of exit.

 

My Countryman is on Cygnus Leader and also sat at the port for 2 weeks. It left on the Bremmerhaven on about the 25th stopped in the UK and is on the way. I'm still not able to track the VIN on the W&W site and I'm also not seeing any tracking for related VINs. The only way I know it is on that boat is an email from my MA here in Oregon.

I've also not found a way to track the ship in the open ocean. Guess I'll have to wait for tracking to pick up again when she gets to the Caribbean. Last update was just north of France 3 days 12 hours ago.

FYI, here's the best tracking I've been able to find. http://aprs.fi/?call=i%2F372747000

 

Just spoke with the manager at Otto's and he looked up our car. He said that our 4UL load floor was still listed as were the 5 star double spoke standard wheels. The 4UL was not removed from the order nor was there a different code for wheels. There has been a shortage of standard 17" 5 star double spoke wheels and there were going to be substitutions of 17" tunnel spoke or 18" turbo fan. Dealers were sent emails regarding cars on order so I think we may have beat the shortage.
Now it's a wait and see. We won't know for sure if the floor and wheels are on it until we see it. He also said that it still has not been loaded on a boat.

 

Mr. Bickles still isn't showing up on the WW tracking site.
Hoping I can see the Queen Sapphire going thru the Panama Canal tomorrow.

 

Have you been able to track ship position, I have not tried, but was wondering if they are broadcasting position?

Need to view the webcams Thursday, too.
