2) There is a boat arriving Port Hueneme practically every other day Here?s a short list that I am aware of:
Titus 11/11
Fuji 11/14
MS Pegasus Diamond 11/20
MS Grus 11/23

First of all, thanks for your information. I always owe you it.
BTW, your new info confuses me because my SA told me that my cari will arrive at Port Hueneme on 11/18. I thought that mine is sailing on MS PD. Hope it is right, or it it would be Fuji, much better... Oh, do not expect too much...
Look to hear from your next feedback, anyway.

I just got a letter from BMW NA saying my car (which I dropped off in Munich on Oct 14) is on the Grus and the arrival date is Nov 27. This date is a week later than Beewang showed in his list ... I hope Beewang is right ...

My dealer told me I was on the Fuji when it set sail on 10/17 from whatever port city, and it would arrive in Port Hueneme on 11/10. As others, I was unable to find any details of the trip from the Internet. So it seems the new date for me, if correct, is 11/14. It'll still make it in time for T-Day for me!

Thanks for taking the time to find and post the shipping info!

Okay? fellas, here?s the deal:

BMW currently use two different shipping companies:
1) Wallenius Wilhelmsen
2) NYK Lines
If your car is on board of? Wallenius ship, you can track the ship?s schedule by simply input the VIN number of your car as the cargo ID at their website. See link below:

http://www.wlna.com/www/customerCentre/car...gLaunchPage.htm

If your car is on board of NYK?s ship (like me) then you are S.O.L. as NYK does not have that ability currently at their web site (Maybe next year but not now).

Since I know the ship my car is on, I am able to use my contact at NYK?s office and check up on the progress.

I don?t want to pester my contact at NYK Lines so I am limiting my check-up on the ship?s schedule on a weekly basis (every Friday).? I will post the latest estimated date tomorrow.

Couple more items
1) MS Pegasus Diamond was originally scheduled to arrive Port Hueneme on 11/22/04 The current timing of 11/29~11/20 is much improved.
2) There is a boat arriving Port Hueneme practically every other day Here?s a short list that I am aware of:
Titus 11/11
Fuji 11/14
MS Pegasus Diamond 11/20
MS Grus 11/23
Falstaff 11/26
Mignon 12/21
Takara 12/05
Don Quijote 12/13
Boheme 12/11
Isolde 12/23

Just to name a few?

Quite frankly? knowing the name of the ship is absolutely useless ?.car can/do get damaged all the time and VPC will have to fix it and thus delays the process.

Keep the faith fellas,

beewang

cheers,
