8 days and counting. Still sitting at port awaiting ship

My MCS "Blackjack" was born 4/11 arrived at port of exit 4/12 and is still there according to ASKMini and Owner's Louge. On top of that I called my MA Friday and left message inquiring if that's normal for it to sit there for a week+. Get call back from another guy telling me my MA is no longer with the dealership and that he would be my new MA. Cool no problem. I ask him about it and he says its on a ship but can't confirm a name. Still not updated online. I asked him for a VIN number and he said he would email me that which I still haven't got. If and when I get the VIN is it possible to search online for the ship its on if its even on one yet?

you need a VIN to search the WW site, Fearless was born on the 10th and went right to WW and is on the courage, I find it really hard to believe that it's still in port Go to MINIUSA OL and click on where's your baby, you can get the VIN from there.Go to WW and click on auto cargo, type in VIN, and if Blackjack was released to WW it'll show you the ship he's on !! good luck, Love the name too

Yes, you need that VIN. I had mine before my car was finished.

My MCS went to Southampton and waited a few days for a ship. It was scheduled to be loaded on the MAERSK WAVE 24/04/2007 (Europeans put the day first, then month, then year). The M. WAVE filled before my car was loaded. So, it had to wait at port for the next ship. That was the ISOLDE, which arrived 30/04/2007. So, eight or nine days is what mine spent at Southampton.

Give your MA some grief if he can't come up with a VIN soon. As soon as you have it, go here:

Your VIN is the cargo I.D.

Mine was born on 4/10 and reached the port on 4/11. Per the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking web site, it was loaded and shipped on the Integrity yesterday, so mine spent a week at the port. (Again, you will need your VIN for WW tracking info). The Owners Lounge and 1-866-ASKMINI (automated info) still have mine as awaiting transport.

Go to review your order in the OL and your VIN should be there if the car is completed. Mine was there as soon as it went into production.

When I goto the OL I am not seeing an option to review my order. I login and only option is to Track your Baby. Where do I find the review your order in OL.

If your is on the Integrity as of yesterday surely mine is right there with ya. Man I hope so. This wait and not knowing is making me crazy!

Mine was done on 4/10 and sitting at the port on 4/11 according to ASKMINI. It just showed up on the WWL site as booked on the Integrity on Friday morning, was loaded yesterday morning, and set sail last night. No update to status on the Owners Lounge or ASKMINI of yet.

Check on the WWL site with your VIN to see if they have you scheduled for a boat yet. If not, it may either be waiting for the next boat bound for the port nearest to your VDC, or it may already be loaded or in transit on a K-Line or Maersk ship (don't think they offer the same kind of tracking as WWL unfortunately).

Good luck, hope it shows up for you soon

EDIT: LOL, just read your last post. Congrats, shipmate!

Yesterday's Port of Southampton shipping movements showed that the Integrity was scheduled to depart at 19:00 local time yesterday. Hopefully, it made it.
