How to track your Mini when it gets on the ship

Hey Folks
Many of you probably know this already. I was poking around and found out how to tell when your car will arrive to port. Go to the owners lounge and get your vin number. Go to the web site below and enter your vin in the area that says CARGO ID that is your VIN of the car. If you hit track it will give you some details of when it arrived and was loaded. Now if you look at VOYAGE and click on the number to the right it will tell you when the ship will arrive at the port...very cool.

Red Bull,

That works fine if you happen to make it on to WW ship but if you end up on a K Line vessel, there is no way to track it. Its a fun yet frustrating time following your mini through the build process. I just picked mine up on Tues and its well worth the wait IMHO.

The following is a great link with lots of info, if you haven't already found it.

Good luck with your JCW! Dark Silver was the other color I was torn between. It will be very sharp!

I kind of stumbled on this by mistake. There was a member who mentioned the name of the line (WW) who does transports. Found them and did some more poking around. I thought it might be old news on NAM but thought I would share. I was happy to find my car was on its way.

Cant wait to get her...have a ton of parts ready to install.

So, did you find out which ship you are on? If so, you should either start a thread so that everyone who's on the ship can follow it together or get on one its already started.

It helps pass the time a little quicker. I started the thread for the ship we were on. It was "all aboard the Southern Highway". Its more fun and a little easier on the nerves if you got lucky and ended up on a WW ship due to the ability to track the ship across the pond and to the VDC.

Good luck to you!
