I am not sure as to how accurate my research is (so don't hold me to it) :-). But this is what i found......assuming you are already at the port of exit (bremerhaven) as mine is ,

1) a ship leaving on 09/10 named COURAGE arriving around 09/23

if you miss that there are two more

2) leaving on 09/13 named TEXAS arriving on 09/25
3) leaving on 09/13 named TORONTO arriving on 09/27

hope we all make it in these.......

Do anybody know what the port of entry is ? is it new york or baltimore ?
How did you get the information that your vehicle is at the port, and the ships available.

Thanks

If you call the 800 number mentioned above, they should tell you what your status is.......

I got the ship info from the website for Wallenius Wilhelmsen which is usually the shipping company that BMW uses.

You can go the BMWNA website and then go to the "owners" menu option. From there choose the "owner's circle" option and then click create account. Just follow the directions from there.
Thanks!

I called my sales Rep and she told me that my car is at the port of exit but it's not on a ship yet. She said it will go on a ship any day now and then I can track it. That will give me enough time to get the one I have now fixed.

Don't be surprised if it sits at the port of exit for a week or so. This is one of the toughest times, knowing that the car is built and just sitting there but not getting any closer to you.

Take a look at the links in my post here for a shot at what it looks like at Bremerhaven (scroll/zoom the images once you get them)

Also, here's a post with a link to the live webcam at Bremerhaven:

Enjoy the tracking!

Thanks Rudy....now you have killed all the hopes of getting on a ship quickly ......:-) I was hoping there will be a ship waiting for my car as it reached the port.

Web Cam can't tell you but the Wallenius Wihelmsen site tells the date of departure of each ship. I think you listed them in a previous post. There may be other ships from other companies, but only RUDY would know that answer.

Not sure the link works but go to Customer Centre, Port Information then choose Port of Origin and Port of Destination
