Sorry if I lead any of you astray. I specialize in that sort of thing.

Yes, WW, tracks for Maersk.

Go to "Schedules", then to "track by Vessel" and then fill in Maersk Teal.

The Maersk Wind and the Teal are ships under contract to WW. Go to the following link and you can see all of the ships in WW's fleet:

I'm in the same bucket. No info on WW site and Mini Usa and my MA say they don't see it assigned to a ship yet. WIth my last mini, It only took 4 days from when it was finished to get on a ship. Ended up getting Kline last time so I didn't know it was being shipped until it arrived at the VDC. According to a rep from Mini USA, Our Mini's sit at the dock around a week or less now that they have more ships making the haul so we should hopefully be shipping in the next couple of days. It's nail biting time. lol

I too, had a week 10 Production date, and haven't gotten any tracking info. My MINI is going to Charleston, then home to Chicago. I'll bet we are all on the same boat - possibly K-Line's Franconia? I'm not sure how to find out for sure though.:impatient

I don't think there's any way to find out if it goes K-Line other than to wait and find out from the MA that it's no longer on the dock.

If you were hoping your MINI would get on the Maersk Wind, you may be in luck! My VIN finally shows booked on the ship.

I FINALLY got onto a ship. My car was done on the 28th of February and it finally was recieved at the port on the 10th of March, that took a long time. The Cargo number for MAERSK WIND heading for the west coast is GBSOU507208

Pleasant suprise, I'm on the Maersk Teal

Thanks for the links to WW. After talking to my MA and ASK MINI this morning was simply told that my MC was awaiting transport with no ship assignment. Went to WW, put in my VIN and found I had been loaded on the Maersk Teal an hour earlier. I know the MINI reps get delayed info but I would have thought they'd have access to more recent info than me. Now I'm watching the Teal sail out of Southampton on AIS and the Southampton VTS sites. Pretty cool.....

The owners lounge and 1-866-ASK-MINI are still saying my car is awaiting transport with no ship assigned. But according to the WW site, my car left Southampton last Friday and is expected to arrive in NJ on Sunday. Which means MINI is 5 days behind in my case.

I called Ask-MINI today to ask for some more info about the MINI credit card and at the same time ask about the status of my MINI. The rep that I spoke to stated they have no further information once the car is at the exit port. She said I should call my MA to get more info.

The K-Line Franconia is now not scheduled for a stop in Southampton today, so that pretty well kills any chance of the car being here by the first week in April.

As of right now, the "Golden Fan" is still scheduled for Friday, along with some vessel from the WW line (forget which). Both of those will get in after March 29th to Charleston. Sigh...

So the Toledo made it across the Atlantic. It's now in Port Halifax, Nova Scotia. It will be in NY in 2 days .

I'm a Week 10'er, finally got out of Oxford and am awaiting transport in Southhampton. My baby is booked on the Figaro, leaving Mon 3/19 and scheduled to arrive in California April 9. Anyone else on that ship? I need someone to commiserate with during the long voyage!

So, really... no one is on the Liberty? Am I the only one sitting on the dock from the Week 10 crew, still waiting to head to the southeast US of A?

I just want to see if my VIN shows up via the booking number. Anyone?

Edit: Nevermind. Just added the next digit up to the Patriot's: GBSOU507203

It worked. I'm not on it. This sucks.

Damn, I really feel bad for you. I was plugging booking numbers in and the Liberty number is GBSOU507203.

Hope you made it.

This sucks. I'm going home.

Anyone know which berths Mini/BMW use to load at?

http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/files/pos.pdf

According to the Port's site, the next possible boat headed my way is the Golden Sun:

http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp

Just trying to figure out if the "Golden Sun" Shipper: K-Line is even transporting Minis on its next trip or not. It seems a bit further down the docks from other know Mini-carrying boats, but I dunno. It IS right near the railway line. K-Line of course does not offer tracking via VIN number.
