Anyone on the Otello?

Has anyone confirmed that they are on the Otello, headed for Port Huememe?

My CM disappeared sometime after leaving the factory around 15 Nov. My MA said it is on the Otello, but my CM has not shown up on the WWL tracking site.

If others are showing up on the Otello, then it leads me to believe that I am on the Dorado Leader.

Thanks!

I was told that I am on the Otello too. Nothing on WWL. I was at the port by 11/15, so it was frustrating to see so many ships come and go before catching a ride.

Our clubman was booked on the Otello, out of Southampton, but at the last minute it was 'returned to shipper.' So it seems to be sitting at the port for a few more weeks at least. But the arrival, booking and eventual return to shipper all showed on the WW site for me. VIN in the cargo ID box usually works like a charm.

My MA can't tell me which ship, just that it left Dec. 9 and will dock at Port Hueneme Jan. 4th. But the Otello left the 6th from Bremen or Bermerhaven and then the 9th from Southampton. The cars loaded at Bremen don't seem to show up on the tracking system. Plus, the Otello was scheduled to dock at PH on Dec. 29th.

I'll try to find the Dorado Leader's schedule to see if it matches the MA's info more closely.

They could really stand an improvement in this tracking thing. It wasn't nearly as difficult with my 2008 Clubman or the 2012 R57 I ordered in September. I found both of their VINs very easily. The CMs seem to never show up. At least we know they are somewhere out in the Atlantic.

We've had more snow than ever since I sold my Subaru in anticipation of the CM. I've never been without a car that can get out in snow, so this is like cabin fever for me on the snowy days. Still, I hated the Outback--i740 miles in 10 months.

The Dorado Leader is just off the California Coast, near Port Hueneme. Should be in port later tonight!

My MCS hopefully is on the Otello. Put my VIN in the WW tracking and my Mini popped up on the Otello. Should be at port on 12/28 hoping to be motoring first week of January.

If you are on the Otello, it is just coming up to the Mira Flores locks in Panama. Google "panama canal webcams" and you can watch its passage.
