Your dealer gets the VIN from the factory as soon as the vehicle enters production (code 150). The next thing to watch out for is the day on which the status code of your vehicle order (your dealer gets these updates from the factory) changes to 165 which means that the vehicle was loaded onto the ship and set sail to Germany in your case.
Since most dealers are useless, I did my own research from the date the vehicle order status changed to 165 - pretty much checked all ships that set-off to Bremerhaven from 3 main ports in US, focusing on Charleston and bingo - located the only vehicles carrier, making it a no-brainer to safely assume my car is there
