How long to get on a ship?

mestes1999 · 07-26-2007, 08:17 AM

So my car has been at the port and waiting for a shipping vessel since July 17th.

Does it normally take this long to load it on a ship?

your car may already be on a ship...

check the vin with the cargoship web site.

my car was at port waiting for 5 days or so (and waited at the plant 5 days too)

What's the cargo ship website? Or how do I know which ship / company it's on?

Depends how far it's parked away from the ship. I would think anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Thanks man. Please forgive my n00b ignorance!

I hope german whores aren't using your car as a brothel

that's what happened with my car...

Sam Da Man · 07-26-2007, 09:29 AM

Call the 1800 number or ur ca, mines was at port since the 18 and now left on the 23rd..is on the patriot........you should be on it too...

mestes1999 · 07-26-2007, 09:44 AM

Yeah, the 800 number still says it's waiting on a vessel.

Potty_Pants · 07-26-2007, 09:52 AM

dont pay attention to the 1800 #... just get your vin and type it in on the shipping site.

Ahhh...Bremerhookers

mestes1999 · 07-26-2007, 10:04 AM

Okay, I did that, but it didn't list anything. Unless I'm not entering the VIN in the correct place.

I entered it on this website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto

10 weeks altogether from the time you ordered it to delivery? Or 10 weeks to get OUT of Germany?

i ordered it while i was in germany, so i drove it for a couple months prior to shipping. Took 10 weeks from the day i dropped it off to the day it was delivered in St Louis

mestes1999 · 07-26-2007, 10:27 PM

Well it changed to in transit this afternoon! Finally! Now I just gotta figure out which ship it's on.

Andrew@ET · 07-27-2007, 02:36 AM

mine says loaded on ship but on the 9th... it must have left by now how do i check where thr vessel is. the dealer said 8/7/07 sound about right?

JLazyL · 07-28-2007, 11:22 PM

My car was on the Carmen for 3 days before the VIN showed up on the WW website. There is hope!

mestes1999 · 07-30-2007, 04:28 PM

Well apparently my car is on the Western Highway, supposed to be in Charleston on Aug. 9th.

I guess this isn't a WW ship. Anyone know what shipping company and/or websites, tracking info, etc? On the Charleston port site it lists the company as "Carolina Shipping And".

BimmerFan61 · 07-31-2007, 06:35 PM

Mestes mine is on the same boat. I havent been able to track it through the VIN but we should be able to track the ship. Ill keep looking

mestes1999 · 07-31-2007, 06:38 PM

This is all I've found... http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp .

Wonder what the odds are it'll arrive early? :-)
